[CODE4LIB] Digital Humanities Australasia 2016 CfP open #DHA2016 22-23 June 2016 (Hobart)

[Ingrid Mason]

** apologies for cross-posting **

The Australasian Association for Digital Humanities (aaDH) is pleased to
announce its third conference, to be held at The University of Tasmania,
Hobart, 20-23 June, 2016.

The aim of DHA 2016 is to advance and critically assess the uses of digital
technologies in humanities research and the communication of its outcomes.
The conference offers a supportive, interdisciplinary environment to
explore the challenges and opportunities working with digital tools and
techniques present.

The conference is supported by The Faculty of Arts, University of Tasmania,
and the Business Events Bureau, Tasmania.

• CONFERENCE WEBSITE: http://www.uqhistory.net/web/dha2016
• CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS CLOSES: 19 February 2016
• NOTIFICATION OF ACCEPTANCE: 18 March 2016
• REGISTRATION: Opens 25 January 2016

PROPOSALS

The broad theme of this third aaDH Conference is ‘Working with Complexity.’

Regardless of disciplinary interests, problems and debates, one concern
that humanists and creative artists share is their engagement with
complexity. Using digital technologies presents technical challenges, but
arguably more significant are the intellectual and conceptual complexities
that realising their creative and analytical potential present. We invite
proposals on all aspects of digital humanities, but encourage papers and
birds of a feather sessions focusing on working with complexity.

Among the issues we would especially like to explore at DHA 2016 are:

• Analysis: complexities in linguistic, historical, environmental and
cultural scholarship
• Visualisation: spatial-temporal analysis of complex human and
environmental phenomena
• Engagement science: public engagement with digital culture
• Evaluation: digital humanities, institutional ambitions and research
integrity
• Disciplines: intellectual traditions and new formations in the age of
research complexity
• Infrastructure: socio-cultural complexities and informatics
• Rights: ensuring recognition and the integrity of artistry digitised in
humanities research

DHA 2016 will held in conjunction in Hobart with Digital Panopticon: Penal
History in a Digital Age, 22-24 June 2016. See
http://www.digitalpanopticon.org/?p=934 This conference focuses on digital
humanities and the history of prisons, the law, courts and convict
transportation systems. Papers and presentations will address ways in which
the data generated by criminal justice systems that is increasingly
becoming available in digital form can be used to shed light on the past.

SUBMISSIONS FOR DHA 2016: Abstracts of no more than 500 words, together
with a biography of no more than 100 words, should be submitted to the
Program Committee by 19 February 2016.

All submissions will be fully refereed. Submissions (i.e. abstracts) should
be submitted via the online form at:

http://www.uqhistory.net/web/dha2016/index.php/dha2016/dha2016/schedConf/cfp

Please indicate whether you are proposing a short paper (10 mins + 5 mins
questions), a long paper (25 mins + 5 mins questions), a panel or forum
session (60 mins), lightning talk (5 mins) or poster.

Submissions will be assessed in terms of alignment with the conference
themes and the quality of research within these or related themes.
Presenters will be notified of acceptance of their submission by 18 March
2016.

WORKSHOPS

We are keen to have proposals for half-day workshops. Please send
expressions of interest to Paul Turnbull.

SUBMISSION TYPES:

Poster presentations

Poster presentations may include work-in-progress as well as demonstrations
of computer technology, software and digital projects. A separate poster
session will take place during one day of the conference, during which time
presenters will need to be available to explain their work, share their
ideas with other delegates, and answer questions. Presenters are encouraged
to provide material and handouts with more detailed information and URLs.
Poster guidelines will be posted on the conference website to help you
prepare your poster.

Lightning Talks

We plan to have several sessions devoted to short 5 minute talks on any
matter of relevance to Digital Humanities.

Short papers

Short papers will be allocated 10 minutes (plus 5 minutes for questions)
and are suitable for describing work-in-progress and reporting on work in
the early stage of development.

Long Papers

Long Papers will be allocated 25 minutes (plus 5 minutes for questions) and
are intended for presenting substantial unpublished research, new digital
resources or addressing broader questions of interest to digital humanists.

‘Birds of a Feather’ Sessions

‘Birds of a Feather’ sessions will be allocated 60 minutes to be used as
participants decide, although ensuring that time is allocated for questions
and questions. A session could take the form of a panel or an array of
formats, such as lightning talks or an open mike event.

BURSARIES

A limited number of travel bursaries (AUD $500) are available on a

Re: [CODE4LIB] Matching print and electronic editions of the same book

[William Denton]

Thanks!  That opens things up.  We do have a lot of OCLC numbers.  For my 
example book, there's an 035 with three of them, including 841051199. If I look 
at


http://worldcat.org/oclc/841051199

it takes me to the human-readable page, but

http://worldcat.org/oclc/841051199.rdf

shows it all in RDF, and I can see a lot of things like

rdf:about="http://experiment.worldcat.org/entity/work/data/1613596711#Place/japan";>


so I can pick out the work ID and look it up.  (Perhaps the work ID be specified 
directly there?)


So that would work, but aha, I just noticed I could make it a little simpler by 
using xOCLCNUM to get the work ID, which is the owi field here:


http://xisbn.worldcat.org/webservices/xid/oclcnum/841051199?method=getMetadata&format=json&fl=*

And then I can go to

http://experiment.worldcat.org/entity/work/data/1613596711.rdf

and get all the workExample links, and use those OCLC numbers.

(Which I'm sure you knew, Roy, but perhaps didn't mention because of the 
rate-limiting, but as far as I know our subscription means I can get an access 
token so I can do some larger queries.)


A first run of something like this would take a while to process everything, but 
I'd store locally what I need to know, and then incremental updates for a 
month's worth of news ebooks wouldn't take long.  Thanks!

That then will give you all of the OCLC numbers that we consider are part

I know, not an optimal solution even if you have the OCLC number. But it
could work if you do.

I want know they're the same book so I can do more usage and collection

right now:

1 a) MARC 020 (ISBN) can list multiple ISBNs. We have e books where the p
editions are listed.

1 b) MARC 776 (additional physical form entry) for e books can list a p
ISBN or other control number. If we have that edition, great. If not, need
to go from e -> p-we-don't-have -> p-we-do-have, which I could do with
xISBN.

2) OCLC's xISBN. When it reports other editions of the same work, it can
include e versions.

There is also:

3) Vendors supplying data.  For example, YBP seems to have all the p and e
editions of books tied together.  We could ask.

I've been looking around but can't find any discussion about making these
connections.  Have any of you done it?  Know of it being done in code I can

[CODE4LIB] Matching print and electronic editions of the same book

[William Denton]

I'm looking at how to match print (p) and electronic (e) editions of the same 
book in our collection.  There is no connection between them in our system 
(VuFind in front of Symphony).


For example, two catalogue entries for two versions of COMPOSING JAPANESE 
MUSICAL MODERNITY, entirely separate:


+ https://www.library.yorku.ca/find/Record/3238132
+ https://www.library.yorku.ca/find/Record/3311584

I want know they're the same book so I can do more usage and collection 
analysis.  I've been looking at two ways of doing it with data available right 
now:


1 a) MARC 020 (ISBN) can list multiple ISBNs. We have e books where the p 
editions are listed.


1 b) MARC 776 (additional physical form entry) for e books can list a p ISBN or 
other control number. If we have that edition, great. If not, need to go from e 
-> p-we-don't-have -> p-we-do-have, which I could do with xISBN.

e versions.

[CODE4LIB] Code4lib 2016 Registration Update

[David Lacy]

In addition to a reminder for tomorrow's registration, we would like to go over 
some details of the registration process.

1) There are going to be 2 opportunities to register. Tomorrow is the first, 
where we will be making available 290 spots. Once we have determined that all 
required attendees have registered (sponsors, presenters, workshop leaders), we 
will reopen registration again in early January for the remaining spots. The 
total capacity is 440.

2) The registration system maintains a 2 hour session per registration attempt. 
Due to the potential of heavy access and this prolonged session, the conference 
may appear to sell out quickly. But once early failed sessions expire, more 
spots may open up beginning around 2pm. Because of this we ask you not to 
assume it is sold out until you hear an announcement from the planning 
committee.

3) There will be no waiting list at this time. A waiting list will open when we 
release the second round of registration slots.

4) The conference program is not complete at this time. The election results 
can be found here: http://2016.code4lib.org/talks/. This list represents the 
presentation voting results. Only the top ten (highlighted) have been accepted 
so far. As in recent years, the remainder of the program will be curated by the 
program committee, taking into account voting results, topic diversity, and 
speaker diversity. These selections will be announced in coming weeks

5) Registration will include the option to select preconference workshops. To 
view the available workshops beforehand, see 
http://2016.code4lib.org/workshops. Wait lists will be available for workshops, 
and you will receive relevant instructions with your confirmation email.

And finally, the reminder:

Registration opens Thursday 12/10/2015 at 12pm EST. At that time a link to the 
registration system will be provided to the mailing list.

[CODE4LIB] ELAG 2016 is now open for proposals !

[Boheemen, Peter van]

Are your proud of the work you have been doing ? Do you think you know stuff 
you should share ? Do you have a great idea ? Are you able to teach your 
colleagues something ? Make yourself heard by doing a presentation, moderate a 
workshop or lead a bootcamp at Elag 2016 !

The theme that was chosen for this year conference is 'EXIT'. We talk a lot 
about future developments, but not so much about what we leave behind. We 
transition data and applications. We stop doing some things and start doing new 
things. What effort do we put in transitioning data? How do we implement new 
services ? How do we implement new data models and architecture and what 
problems do we encounter in that process ? How do we evaluate the effect of 
transitions ?

We hope this quite general theme will inspire you to present your thoughts and 
work.
Please visit http://elag.org for futher details 

Best regards,

Peter van Boheemen
