This event, sponsored by a generous grant from the DFG/NEH Bilateral Digital Humanities Program, brings together digital humanists, humanities scholars, and information theorists to consider how digital methods of knowledge representation in the humanities have developed during the past thirty years. It will also explore how the various models now available to us shape and inflect the research objects we create and the research we undertake with them. The symposium will include theoretical papers, case studies, and discussion (including remote participants via twitter).

To frame the presentations and discussion we will also keep in mind a set of larger theoretical and strategic questions, which will be the focus of the white paper arising from the symposium:

• Why do certain ways of modeling humanities data feel natural to us, and what hidden assumptions (about texts, artifacts, usage, and scholarship) do they reflect?
• Do data models reflect real information structures or create them?
• What are the practical and strategic advantages of specific models in specific contexts?
• What are the latent or explicit politics of knowledge representation systems?
• What do we learn from changes in representational models over time?
• What new developments in information modeling might hold value for the humanities?
• What are the most urgent and compelling research questions in information modeling for the humanities? where are these being addressed?
• Where are information modeling issues visible in the work of digital humanities scholarship? what is their practical impact and where can insights into information modeling improve the effectiveness or quality of these projects?
• How do information models and humanities scholarship intersect, and where do we see them exerting mutual pressure on one another? what can information modeling learn from humanities scholarship and vice versa?

The white paper and a detailed record of the event and its presentations will be published online. More information on how to participate remotely will be posted closer to the time. Save the date and plan to join us!

Also on behalf of the tutorial organisers, we apologise for any inconvenience. Those who had already registered will be refunded.

Recently we witnessed an engaged debate over twitter and the TEI-list focusing on interoperability as a future avenue for furthering the goals of TEI. The ESF COST Action IS0704 'Interedition', specifically focused on interoperable tools for textual scholarship, is organizing a half day Think Tank on this subject during the upcoming TEI-meeting at the Universität Würzburg. We've found Sebastian Rathz (Oxford University Computing Services) and Doug Reside (New York Public Library) prepared to fire off the discussion with key pitches.

Bursaries

Interedition is delighted to offer several bursaries for attending this Think Tank on 12 October 2011 that is coinciding and co-organized with the 2011 Annual Conference and Members' Meeting of the TEI Consortium: "Philology in the Digital Age" held at Würzburg University, 10-16 October 2011.

About Interedition

The goals of Interedition < www.interedition.eu > is to promote the interoperability of the tools and methodology used in the field of digital scholarly editing and research. Equally, Interedition seeks to raise the awareness of the importance of sustainability of the digital artifacts and instruments we create. To this end, Interedition is supporting this conference at the University of Würzburg to explore the tools, methodologies, and approaches to better support a shared model for the creation of sustainable infrastructure for digital text. Applications are being accepted for bursaries for early stage researchers to attend this event with a thematic focus on digital scholarly editing, pre-conference workshops and tutorials and keynote presentations by leading textual scholars (Edward Vanhoutte, Andrea Rapp). Half of the bursaries are reserved for those researchers giving papers (full paper or micropaper) or presenting a poster. To apply for bursaries, candidates must be:

• an emerging scholar, which is defined by the ESF as someone who has not been in an established position for more than five years, with exceptions for parental, medical, and national service leaves. The ESF notes that ‘students, post-doctorate researchers and lecturers within 5 years of appointment would be amongst those included in this definition’.
• affiliated to a an institution in one of the signatory country of Interedition (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Polan, Spain, or the UK).
• joining the Interedition Think Tank meeting on October 12

Bursaries will be awarded of a fixed amount of 400 Euros. Expenses will be reimbursed after the event in line with COST procedures. If you fit the above criteria and would like to apply for consideration, please send no more than 300 words on the following: a) a very brief CV on your career history and current academic affiliation, b) a motivation on how this workshop will intersect with your research. If applicable, please attach a letter of acceptance of your contribution (paper, poster) by the Program Committee of the conference. Please send your application to joris.van.zundert-at-huygens.knaw.nl no later than 25 September.

Das Projekt ist Teil von textgenetischen Studien (Manuscrits hispaniques XIX-XXI) zu einem zeitgenössischen spanischen Autoren. Die Aufgaben umfassen die Entwicklung von experimentellen Prototypen zur webbasierten Präsentation von Bild (Handschriftendigitalisate), Text (auf Basis TEI) und textgenetischen Zusammenhängen (auf Basis der TEI/GE-Erweiterung).

Anforderungen:

• Teamwork
• die Fähigkeit zum flexiblen, selbständigen und problemlösungsorientierten Arbeiten
• Grundkenntnisse der TEI und die Bereitschaft, diese zu vertiefen
• gute Kenntnisse XSLT, CSS, HTML
• Programmierkenntnisse (etwa php) sind von Vorteil.

Eine Erweiterung der Tätigkeit zu einer Projektarbeit „Freies Projekt im digitalen Bereich“ im BA-Studiengang Digital Humanities ist nach Absprache möglich.

Interessierte bewerben sich bitte per E-Mail bis 10. August mit einem tabellarischem Lebenslauf und einem kurzen Motivationsschreiben bei Dr. Malte Rehbein (malte.rehbein@uni-wuerzburg.de).
