Call for Papers

DH-CASE 2013

Workshop: Collaborative Annotations in Shared Environments: metadata,

vocabularies and techniques in the Digital Humanities (DH-CASE)

Venue: Co-located with DocEng 2013, Florence

Date: September 10, 2013

Web page: http://www.cs.unibo.it/dh-case/

1. Abstract

In the last few years, collections of digital text have strongly

increased in number, especially in the field of humanities. Digital

libraries of full-text documents, including digital editions of literary

texts, are emerging as environments for the production, the management

and the dissemination of complex annotated corpora.

The potential interpretative levels emerging from the analysis of textual

phenomena (including bibliographic, linguistic, thematic, structural,

rhetorical and prosopographic aspects) converge to produce a

stratification of annotations whose complex interactions may give light

to new and unexpected potentials for analysis.

Yet, each community in the field of humanities (archives, libraries,

museums, literary studies, etc.) have developed independent metadata

models and annotation techniques for their corpora. In a shared

environment, the possibility to annotate different aspects of a text

overlaps with metadata models and ontologies used for annotation (i.e.

TEI, EAD/EAC, CIDOC-CRM, DC, FRBR, SKOS, etc.) and related values

vocabularies (i.e. DDC, Geonames, LC, VIAF, Wordnet, Dbpedia) but also

with techniques for producing annotations, both with embedded or

stand-off markup methods based on XML or other formal languages possibly

even in a linked data perspective (OWL/RDF).

The aim of this workshop is to explore the state of art in the field of

collaboration in text annotation and to reflect on existing platforms for

document sharing and management, methods and techniques for multi-level

annotation, metadata and vocabularies for declaring interpretative

instances.

2. Topics

In detail, the focus of the workshop will be on:

- Multi-level annotations in textual corpora

- Collaborative platforms for digital text annotation and existent

solutions

- The metadata dialogue: crosswalk in annotating digital textual resources

- Annotation and markup in the humanities: techniques and technologies

- Linked data and Cultural Heritage: possibilities and perspectives in

the interchange between digital/textual annotated objects

- What is a text? The differing interpretations of what constitutes a

text within different DH communities

- OAC. The Open Annotation Collaboration. Utility and case studies in the

DH domain

- Archives, Libraries and Museums. The DH role and approach to cultural

heritage

- Annotation and ownership: Annotation in a cross-community context
