A Polyvocal and Contextualised Semantic Web

Marieke van Erp & Victor de Boer
ESWC 2021: Problems to solve before you die

What’s the problem?
Most knowledge graphs reflect the popular or majority vote

Most knowledge graphs are mined from contemporary sources

Most knowledge graphs represent a single perspective

This poses the danger of perpetuating certain views (e.g. gender-
biased, colonial-view…)

Why should I care?
Applications using single-perspective, contemporary
knowledge graphs cannot adequately deal with other
perspectives and/or diachronic knowledge

Problematic in for example:

Information retrieval and machine learning

What is a voice?

Creating a polyvocal and contextualised Semantic Web is a community effort

It needs to be diverse and inclusive

It needs your input

The document discusses culturally aware AI and polyvocality in knowledge graphs. It notes that most current knowledge graphs reflect a single perspective and contemporary sources, lacking polyvocality. The challenges of identifying polyvocal knowledge, representing polyvocality in models and data, and presenting polyvocal knowledge are discussed. Transparent data stories are proposed as a way to represent multiple perspectives on cultural objects through alternative storylines and making the underlying data and knowledge graph transparent.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Future of Digital Humanities

Marieke van Erp

Slides of my DHOxSS closing lecture Oxford, 26 July 2019 Abstract In the constellation of research fields, new configurations are continuously reshaping our ideas of what a field should be. This is particularly the case in the young field of digital humanities which, as David M. Berry noted, started with a focus on improving access to digital repositories and then moved to expanding the limits of archives to include born-digital materials as research objects. Both moves greatly impacted our research practice. However, I argue that we have only started scratching the surface of what digital methods can mean for humanities research. In particular, as our methods and collaborations with other fields have matured, we can now start imagining new types of research questions that go beyond the sum of their ‘digital’ and ‘humanities’ parts -- to fundamentally change the nature of the humanities questions that we can ask. For such a reshaping to occur, we need to deepen the connection to our academic neighbours and keep looking beyond our own research community in order to ask these new questions. In my talk, I will present how multi-disciplinary collaborations between historians, linguists, and computer scientists can bring about new insights that may form the first steps to this future.

Computationally Tracing Concepts Through Time and Space

Marieke van Erp

Slides for HNR2020 Keynote presentation Abstract: Digitised sources are a treasure trove for scholars, but accessing the information contained in them is far from trivial. Due to scale, traditional methods are insufficient to analyse the big data coming from these sources. Hence, computational methods look to be the solution. Indeed, computational methods can be utilised to identify and model concepts in large digital datasets, however the nature of these datasets as well as that of humanities research questions requires caution. In particular, the ramifications of time and location on understanding concepts cannot be underestimated. In this talk, Marieke will present ongoing work on computationally tracing concepts through time and across geography using language and semantic web technology. The work illustrates that seemingly simple concepts (e.g. sugar) prove to be much more complex than expected. We discuss the importance of semantics in helping not only to deal with this complexity but reify it so that it can be interrogated both computationally and via expert analysis. Slides 5, 8, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 are based the presentation Tabea Tietz gave for the paper "Challenges of Knowledge Graph Evolution from an NLP Perspective" in the WHiSe Workshop @ ESWC 2020 (2 June 2020). http://hnr2020.historicalnetworkresearch.org/

Sally Chambers

This document discusses the evolving role of libraries and librarians in supporting digital scholarship and the digital humanities. It describes how traditional cataloguing tools like MARC are changing to incorporate new metadata standards and linked data. Research libraries' engagement with research infrastructures has been low but is increasing as opportunities arise in areas like research data management, digital repositories, and scholarly communication. The document argues libraries have important roles to play in discovery, data management, and as embedded partners supporting digital humanities researchers and their evolving needs. Collaboration between libraries and digital humanities centers is highlighted as a way to advance both fields.

Ashley M. Richter

This document summarizes Ashley Richter's work using new technologies for cultural heritage visualization in archaeology. It discusses how Richter uses 3D scanning and modeling to capture archaeological sites, and develops virtual and augmented reality applications to disseminate findings. It also describes Richter's role establishing an undergraduate research program at UCSD's Center for Interdisciplinary Science, where students gain experience applying technologies like scanning, imaging, and 3D printing to archaeological investigations in both land and underwater contexts. The document envisions these techniques comprising a new interdisciplinary field of "cultural heritage diagnostics."

The document discusses exploring online cultural heritage through tangible user interfaces. It introduces tangible interfaces as an alternative to graphical user interfaces for interacting with cultural heritage collections online. Basic tangible objects could represent common queries about who, what, when, etc. More complex tangible queries could also be constructed by combining these basic query objects. The goal is to integrate these tangible queries with online cultural heritage databases structured using semantic web standards.

Digital Humanities, Digital Libraries and Information Science: what relation?

Laboratorio di Cultura Digitale, labcd.humnet.unipi.it

This document discusses the intersection of Library and Information Science (LIS) and Digital Humanities (DH). It defines LIS as studying the communication of recorded information and DH as using computational methods in the humanities. Topics at their intersection include searching, metadata, ontologies, publishing, and digital collections. LIS focuses on organization and access while DH focuses on analyzing and transforming digital content. The document then outlines a European project and the Digital Humanities program at the University of Pisa, which combines humanities training with technological skills.

Digicraft and 'Systemic' Thinking in Digital Humanities

Laboratorio di Cultura Digitale, labcd.humnet.unipi.it

This document summarizes discussions from several presentations at the DH2016 conference on defining digital humanities. It notes that digital humanities projects require interdisciplinary collaboration across competencies like history, public history, and technology skills. Effective projects are organized like Renaissance workshops, with students and scholars exchanging skills under a shared vision. The document argues for a unified, systemic vision of digital humanities that sees relationships between fields rather than rigid boundaries, reflecting how digital tools have changed research practices. This "unifying vision" represents an opportunity for digital humanities to define its social purpose.

Introduction to Digital humanities

marklocklear

In this workshop we will discuss the use of technology in the work of the humanities, also known as Digital Humanities (DH). We will discuss how faculty can us DH to archive historical documents, as well as how DH might be used to motivate students with different learning styles. For technologists, you will learn the tools many people are using to implement DH projects, and how you can help faculty think about historical data in the context of a DH project.

The document discusses the project "re:DDS" which aims to preserve the digital heritage of "De Digitale Stad" (The Digital City), the first virtual city in the Netherlands from 1994-2001. It outlines the challenges of preserving "born-digital" content due to issues like link rot, missing software and hardware. The project seeks to reconstruct the virtual city through techniques like web archiving, crowdsourcing and emulation to make it accessible again.

Digital Humanities Workshop

Kevin J. Comerford, University of New Mexico

Digital Humanities is a term that elicits both excitement and scorn in scholarly circles, and there is still a great deal of discussion as to whether it is a field of inquiry, a set of research methods, or simply a new perspective on arts and humanities research. This workshop will provide a brief survey of how the evolving theory and practice of using contemporary technology and technology-assisted research methods are impacting scholarship in the arts and humanities.

Water to the Thirsty Reflections on the Ethical Mission of Libraries and Open...

Matilde Fontanin

The shift to digital information determines a parallel shift in access modes, and digital libraries are called to action by the ethical foundations of their mission. Open Access makes information potentially available not just to researchers, but to everyone, yet there are still barriers to be overcome in terms of technical infra-structures, points of access, digital and cultural divide. The mission of libraries, as stated by IFLA Manifesto for Digital Libraries and IFLA/FAIFECode of Ethics for Librarians and other Information Workers, con-verges with the mission and ethics of the BBB declarations on Open Access: it is about delivering information to everyone, from scholars to the “curious minds”, and librarians can be mediators in the wide diffusion, at all levels of society, of scientific, scholarly knowledge, to foster “active” and “scientific” citizenship.

Cultural heritage: Tradition, Museums and Wikis

Thomas Tunsch

The document discusses knowledge management in museums and their use of wikis. It describes how museums collect objects and documentation, create knowledge, and present information to the public. Wikis also collect data and document discussions to generate articles and build categories. Museums and wikis both involve collaborative communities that research, document, and publish information. The document examines how scholars can be involved in these collaborative activities and how museum documentation and research can benefit wiki communities.

ÚISK FF UK

This document discusses the evolution of training models for information professionals like librarians and archivists. Traditionally, their training was technical and conservative, provided by institutions linked to national libraries and archives. While some courses were shared, most were separate. In the 20th century, new professionals like documentalists emerged, seeking different training to reflect their work contexts outside libraries. After 1960, information science became recognized and training diversified, though traditional models still influenced new programs. The document argues that training must recognize the primacy of information over physical documents and the dynamic nature of the information phenomenon. It outlines competencies and skills from organizations like EUROGUIDE LIS, CILIP and SLA to define the knowledge and

This document discusses the need for a unified, systemic approach to digital humanities (DH) projects. It provides examples of several current DH projects that demonstrate this approach. The projects are interdisciplinary, combining skills from various fields. They also embrace openness and are "born digital." The document argues that DH projects function best as "digital crafts" or "Renaissance workshops," bringing together students, scholars, technicians and others with diverse skills to achieve a shared vision. It concludes that a systemic, holistic view of DH helps address the excessive specialization that has separated the humanities and sciences.

DIVE+: Explorative Search for Digital Humanities

Johan Oomen

DIVE+ is an event-centric linked data digital collection browser aimed to provide an integrated and interactive access to multimedia objects from various heterogeneous online collections. It enriches the structured metadata of online collections with linked open data vocabularies with focus on events, people, locations and concepts that are depicted or associated with particular collection objects. DIVE+ is result of a true inter-disciplinary collaboration between computer scientists, humanities scholars, cultural heritage professionals and interaction designers. The tool allows humanities scholars to explore unexpected relations between entities and media objects and to construct and share navigation paths to develop research narratives.

Sharing_the_past.Dibbits

Hester Dibbits

This document is an inaugural lecture given by Hester Dibbits arguing for a network perspective when researching collaborations between heritage organizations, museums, schools, and local governments on heritage education programs. Dibbits argues that heritage is a social construct that involves negotiation and selection of elements from the past to represent an identity. She also discusses how heritage can be a source of contestation and how emotion networks form around heritage issues. Dibbits advocates studying these collaborations and how heritage is created, presented, and commented on to better understand dynamics and improve education programs.

This document discusses making digital cultural heritage more engaging by focusing on curiosity, connections, and storytelling. It proposes a project called "A Transnational History of Europe" that would create a virtual exhibit combining expert narratives with objects from various cultural heritage institutions. The exhibit would highlight European stories that question borders and show movements across contexts. Experts and users would bring different perspectives into dialogue to develop a common language around cultural heritage objects and texts. The goal is to stimulate exploration and engagement with digital collections.

Slicing and Dicing a Newspaper Corpus for Historical Ecology Research

Marieke van Erp

Presented at EKAW 2018 Historical newspapers are a novel source of information for historical ecologists to study the interactions between humans and animals through time and space. Newspaper archives are particularly interesting to analyse because of their breadth and depth. However, the size and the occasional noisiness of such archives also brings difficulties, as manual analysis is impossible. In this paper, we present experiments and results on automatic query expansion and categorisation for the perception of animal species between 1800 and 1940. For query expansion and to the manual annotation process, we used lexicons. For the categorisation we trained a Support Vector Machine model. Our results indicate that we can distinguish newspaper articles that are about animal species from those that are not with an F 1 of 0.92 and the subcategorisation of the different types of newspapers on animals up to 0.84 F 1 .

Marieke van Erp

This document describes a research project called SERPENS that analyzed newspaper articles mentioning lynx to understand how people's perceptions of the animal changed over time. Researchers developed a machine learning classifier to categorize articles into topics like natural history, nuisance, pest control, and others. The classifier achieved over 70% accuracy. Analysis of categorized articles showed shifting perceptions, with more recent articles discussing lynx accidents and its figurative uses compared to older economic focus. The project aims to help historians study how human-wildlife relations have changed.

Evaluating Named Entity Recognition and Disambiguation in News and Tweets

Marieke van Erp

Named entity recognition and disambiguation are important for information extraction and populating knowledge bases. Detecting and classifying named entities has traditionally been taken on by the natural language processing community, whilst linking of entities to external resources, such as DBpedia and GeoNames, has been the domain of the Semantic Web community. As these tasks are treated in different communities, it is difficult to assess the performance of these tasks combined. We present results on an evaluation of the NERD-ML approach on newswire and tweets for both Named Entity Recognition and Named Entity Disambiguation.
