Digital Scholarship at the British Library (9 September 2014)James Baker
Dr. James Baker gave a presentation on digital scholarship at the British Library. He discussed how digital humanities is transforming research by allowing large-scale analysis that was previously impossible. This includes computational analysis of millions of digitized texts to better understand cultural trends. New digital tools can also reveal subtle details about how medieval manuscripts were used by analyzing the density of fingerprints in the margins. The presentation emphasized that the goal of new digital methods is to enable fresh insights into important research questions.
Oral History, audio-visual materials and Digital Humanities: a new ‘grand cha...UCL
Oral historians have long recognised that voice and gesture can communicate information, knowledge, emotion and interpretation in ways that text cannot. Indeed, oral history artefacts can be studied not only for the words they contain but also for features like interjections, gestures and silences that can, among other things, contain clues about an interviewee’s emotional state. Nevertheless, it can be argued that this process has not gone as far as is necessary, as Frisch has put it “Everyone knows that the core audio-visual dimension of oral history is notoriously underutilized” (Frisch 2006 p.102)
Technological developments---often based on advances made in the Digital Humanities community involving structured and semantic markup---have opened up a plethora of new ways to process audio-visual materials.
However, it is notable that these methods continue to privilege largely text-based approaches to Oral History; after all, what is meta-data but natural language codes inserted into a text in order to make explicit its meaning or constituent parts? Methods being developed in other fields that have, as yet, seen relatively little take up in Digital Humanities, for example, image and facial recognition, acoustic approaches to sentiment analysis, 3D imaging and modelling, digital narratology and storytelling etc offer methodologies that could be fruitfully brought to bear on the capture and especially the analysis of such sources. Not only might such approaches offer new interpretative strategies---that are neither founded upon nor predominately focused upon text---for engaging with audio-visual materials, but they could contribute to a more thorough and sustained reassessment of the dominance of the ‘written’ word in fields like Digital Humanities and Oral history. This paper will explore the possibilities for Oral History researchers that such developments might open up.
1. The document discusses the history and evolution of books and publishing, from the printing press to modern digital formats and standards.
2. It traces milestones like the development of hypertext in the 1960s, the invention of the World Wide Web in the 1980s/90s, and modern standards for ebooks and web publications.
3. The document argues that while books have long provided structure and organization of content, digital formats now integrate more tightly with the web and allow for new capabilities like text mining and semantic augmentation while still providing standardization and citation mechanisms.

Origins of knowledge commons - open science in historical perspectiveprofessormadison
The document discusses studying the Republic of Letters, an early modern community of scholars, as a historical example of a knowledge commons. It explores how the Republic of Letters institutionalized open science between 1500-1700 by establishing learned societies and journals to share knowledge openly. However, it also involved practices of privacy and secrecy. The Republic of Letters balanced open sharing of propositional knowledge with protecting useful knowledge via secrecy or exclusivity. Studying it can provide insights into how open scientific systems evolved and the interplay between openness and privacy in knowledge governance commons.

The document discusses institutional repositories and open access initiatives. It provides definitions and descriptions of institutional repositories, their benefits, challenges in setting them up, stakeholders involved, types of content and services they can offer. It also discusses enabling technologies for institutional repositories, including open source software like DSpace, EPrints, Fedora, Greenstone and proprietary options like Archimede and CDSware.
The document discusses the concept of openness in museums and cultural institutions. It argues that as the world becomes more connected through technology, cultural resources should also become more openly accessible and available for reuse. However, many institutions still enclose resources through lack of digitization, restrictive terms of use, or concerns over control, revenue, and resources. The document advocates for a more open approach in line with concepts like open access, open data, and Creative Commons licensing to promote broad participation in and benefit from cultural and scientific resources.
Mediating Media Art. Digital Visual Archives as Mediation-Toolsfwiencek
This document discusses strategies for mediating media art through digital visual archives. It begins by defining mediation and describing how meaning is generated in interactive media art and digital archives. It then examines four dimensions of meaning generation in digital visual archives: categorization, interactive processes, visualization and contextualization, and retrieval. Several examples of current mediation strategies are provided, including discourse-based, community-based, and institutional archives. The document concludes that digital archives have the potential to better preserve and mediate media art by connecting users and facilitating discussion. Further research into typologies of mediation strategies and multimodal analysis is suggested.
Open access for researchers, policy makers and research managers, librariesIryna Kuchma
Open access advocates for making research output widely available through open access repositories and policies. It highlights evidence that open access accelerates the research cycle by allowing more rapid discovery and uptake of findings. Open access repositories provide access to peer-reviewed articles, theses, reports and other materials. They help increase the visibility, usage and impact of research.
Tonta World Is Flat Yet Not Open Oslo Workshop 10 May 2006 Final RevisedYasar Tonta
The document discusses how the world has become "flatter" due to technologies like the Internet that have increased global connections and access to information. However, it notes that while the world is connected, much information remains closed off unless it is openly accessible. It advocates for open access to research and publications, which could help "flatten" the information world by making more resources freely available online. This could drive innovation and economic benefits. Libraries need to provide more open access content and services online to remain relevant to users who increasingly begin searches on the open web rather than within library systems.
This document discusses peer review and quality assurance in the age of author self-archiving. It presents arguments from Stevan Harnad in support of author self-archiving and open access. Harnad believes self-archiving maximizes research access, use and impact. However, he also argues that peer review is still essential to ensure quality control and certification of research. The document then discusses various problems with conventional peer review processes and proposes that there are "invisible hands" such as personal reputation, institutional review, and self-correcting dynamics that can help assure quality in an environment of author self-archiving.

Semantic annotation of digital libraries. A model for science communicationFrancesca Di Donato
This document summarizes a presentation about using semantic annotation to improve open science practices in digital libraries. It describes a project that published transcriptions and metadata from historical correspondence online using open standards to make the data more accessible and interoperable. The project aims to enrich scientific knowledge by allowing researchers to analyze relationships in the data and compare discussions over time. The presenter argues that open science should become an imperative for scientists by changing incentives to reward contributions like data sharing that build on previous findings. Adopting new collaborative online practices could help manage knowledge as a commons and change the "traffic direction" of science.

Gen Z and the marketplaces - let's translate their needsLaura Szabó
The product workshop focused on exploring the requirements of Generation Z in relation to marketplace dynamics. We delved into their specific needs, examined the specifics in their shopping preferences, and analyzed their preferred methods for accessing information and making purchases within a marketplace. Through the study of real-life cases , we tried to gain valuable insights into enhancing the marketplace experience for Generation Z.
The workshop was held on the DMA Conference in Vienna June 2024.

1. Open Publishing in the Humanities
An introduction
Cortona, October 2004
francesca.didonato@sp.unipi.it
2. Topics
Two scenarios of scientific Publishing:
2nd. The "Web age"
The case of Humanities as a “delay State”
1st. The "Printing Era"
How to (Open) Publish?
To publish means to make intellectual productions accessible for the public of readers.
As a matter of principle, to open publish is a tautology, because making a text public means
to maximize the access to texts and documents; but in practice, the equivalence doesn't
work.
The answer depends on a twofold tension:
Science <-----> Technology
Cataloguing <-----> Selection
4. • 1665: PhilosophicalTransactions
• Public register of Intellectual Property
• Parliament conferring Intellectual “Nobility”
• Well-structured hierarchic Society
• Arbiter elegantiarum

1st framework> early history
5. • 1960s: E. Garfield (ISI)
• Bibliographic instrument born to provide a
“Cartography of Citations”
• "Impact Factor": a standardized measurement form introduced by the ISI that
allows to determine the impact of an article on later publications;
• "Core Journals": based on a notion of “fundamental Journals for a
fundamental Science”;
• Journals’ functions: they grant intellectual property rights; they
provide a brand; they work as career management system.
Ist framework > “Science Citation Index”

Ist framework > Market Scenario
All Scholars
Universities
Publishers
Librarians
The Public of
Readers
“Gatekeepers”
8. 2nd framework >(recent) history
• 1945: V. Bush, As we may think?
• 1981: T. Nelson coined the term Hypertext (Literary
Machines)
• 1970s-1990s: Internet and the Web as a
“Decentralized System”
• 1991: Los Alamos Archive and Open Archive Initiative
(OAI)
See:
- V. Bush, As we may think,The Atlantic Monthly (July 1945) <http://www.ps.uni-sb.de/~duchier/pub/vbush/vbush.shtml>
- T. Nelson, Literary Machines, Self-published, Swarthmore, PA, 1981.
The Idea is to set up a Documentation system
based on citations (links):
9. 2nd framework > Open Access
See:
• Content and software tools openly accessible and compatible.
• Content: Public-funded scientific results, that authors publish for
free, such as original scientific research results, raw data and metadata, source
materials, digital representations of pictorial and graphical materials and scholarly
multimedia material
• "By "open access" to this literature, we mean its free availability on the public
internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or
link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data
to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or
technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the
internet itself.The only constraint .. should be to give authors control over the
integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged
and cited” (Berlin Declaration for Open Access, 2003).

10. -"a complete version of the work and all supplemental
materials, including a copy of the permission, in an appropriate
standard electronic format is deposited (and thus published) in
at least one online repository using suitable technical
standards (such as the Open Archive definitions) that is
supported and mantained by an academic institution, scholarly
society, government agency, or other well-established
organization that seeks to enable open access, unrestricted
distribution, interoperability, and long-term archiving" (Berlin
Declaration for Open Access, 2003).
2nd framework > Open Access
See:
- Authors use public
repositories to archive
their work.
- Authors publish in on-
line free Journals
which do perform
peer review

-What about Journals?
12. Conclusions
• “Dynamic contextualization”: allows the navigation in a free space of
knowledge, simply following inter-textual indications of authors.
• Distributed peer-to-peer Network compatible with OAI-PMH.
• Powerful filtering Tools completely under control of the user.

Citations and the problem of “Quality”:
“Many documentation systems used to be designed for specific collections of
information, and one could assume that the information in such a system had achieved a
certain quality. However, the Web itself cannot enforce any single notion of quality. Such
notions are very subjective, and change with time. How can we give the user a subjective
perception of higher quality, while maintaining an open Web for people whose criteria
are different?” (TBL, TheWorldWideWeb - Past, Present and Future, "Quality").
