Introduction: In this article, Alejandro Bia Platas and Ramón P. Ñeco García introduce TEIdown, an extension of the Markdown syntax that aims at creating XML-TEI documents, and transformation programs. TEIdown helps editors to validate and find errors in TEI documents.
Introduction: There is a postulated level of anthropomorphism where people feel uncanny about the appearance of a robot. But what happens if digital facsimiles and online editions become nigh indistinguishable from the real, yet materially remaining so vastly different? How do we ethically provide access to the digital object without creating a blindspot and neglect for the real thing. A question that keeps digital librarian Dot Porter awake and which she ponders in this thoughtful contribution.
Introduction: Computer scientists and humanists at the University of Würzburg have jointly developed a new and promising OCR tool to simplify text recognition in historical prints. “OCR4all” is freely available and works very reliably. The article describes its development and functions and leads to a well documented github repository to test the tool for yourself.
Introduction: Standards are best explained in real life use cases. The Parthenos Standardization Survival Kit is a collection of research use case scenarios illustrating best practices in Digital Humanities and Heritage research. It is designed to support researchers in selecting and using the appropriate standards for their particular disciplines and workflows. The latest addition to the SSK is a scenario for creating a born-digital dictionary in TEI.
Introduction: The explore! project tests computer stimulation and text mining on autobiographic texts as well as the reusability of the approach in literary studies. To facilitate the application of the proposed method in broader context and to new research questions, the text analysis is performed by means of scientific workflows that allow for the documentation, automation, and modularization of the processing steps. By enabling the reuse of proven workflows, the goal of the project is to enhance the efficiency of data analysis in similar projects and further advance collaboration between computer scientists and digital humanists.
Introduction: Studying n-grams of characters is today a classical choice in authorship attribution. If some discussion about the optimal length of these n-grams have been made, we have still have few clues about which specific type of n-grams are the most helpful in the process of efficiently identifying the author of a text. This paper partly fills that gap, by showing that most of the information gained from studying n-grams of characters comes from the affixes and punctuation.
Introduction: This is a well-structured account of a seminar session on data management held in Munich. It introduces many topics which humanists have to deal with during a research process.
Introduction: This post presents a reflexion on ontology in DH practices and methodologies.
Introduction: This post reflects on the link between the quotidian use of photography and Digital Humanities.
