This three-day training school organised by the CLS INFRA project focused on dynamic collections of literary texts manipulated programmatically. Learners will learn to find, evaluate, and select corpora using tools like CLSCor and DraCor, and gain skills in Python, Jupyter Notebooks, API querying, Linked Open Data, and Digital Literary Network Analysis. The training addresses reproducibility using Docker, promoting transparent, replicable research in Computational Literary Studies.

This three-day international training school in Knowledge Extraction from Text from the CLS Infra project offered a crash course in how to "Dig for Gold" in a corpus of texts. From Stylometry to Natural Language Processing, learners will be able to follow along using 'plug and play' tools, while also getting a brief introduction to Python and R.

This module looks at some of the key management issues that arise within research infrastructures.

By the end of this training module, you will be able to: understand the elements of common definitions of research infrastructures; be able to discuss the importance of issues such as sustainability and interoperability; understand how research infrastructure supports methods and communities; and be aware of some common critiques of digital research infrastructures in the Humanities.

This module examines what is meant by collaboration in humanities research and how this model impacts upon the development of digital humanities, and digital humanities research infrastructures.

This module is specifically aimed at those who are not yet familiar with ontologies as a means of research data management, and will take you through some of the main features of ontologies, and the reasons for using them.

This module is dedicated to developing research questions in the Digital Humanities (DH), especially on finding, working with, and contributing data to digital collections and using digital Research Infrastructures (RIs).

This webinar from Prof. Jennifer Edmond and Dr. Eleonora Lima at Trinity College Dublin discusses the Knowledge Technologies for Democracy (KT4D) project and its investigation into how democracy and civic participation can be better facilitated in the face of rapidly changing knowledge technologies, namely Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data.

Scholarship in three dimensions can transcend the limitations of traditional two-dimensional representations of objects that exist in the physical world in three dimensions. This presentation showcases the scholarly potential of 3D digital scholarly editions, advocating for their adoption as a new tool in the DH toolkit for new formats for the dissemination and interrogation of knowledge.

The emergence of ChatGPT and other generative AI tools presents both opportunities and challenges for academia. While these technologies offer powerful capabilities to support scholarship, their thoughtless adoption could undermine the very foundations of academic work. This talk from Dr. Mark Carrigan, presented as part of the DARIAH Friday Frontiers webinar series, introduces a framework for incorporating generative AI into academic practice in ways that enhance rather than replace human thought.

In digital humanities, retrieval technologies have always mediated how we read, from concordances to search engines. This talk introduces AI hermeneutics, an approach that treats retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) not as automation but as interpretive infrastructure, opening up an opportunity to integrate AI into the existing reading experience.

How do we tell the story of humanities as the essence of understanding humankind in all its aspects and bring it back to the table as an equal partner of science? Seeking an answer to this question, this webinar (delivered as part of the DARIAH Friday Frontiers series) presents the scope and dissemination of the Queens of Humanities campaign that ran in 2022, led by OPERAS-PL. Its purpose was to promote innovative humanistic approaches and show their relevance in today's world.

What connects analysing the creative process of a performance using 20,000 collected digital documents, reconstructing an artist's career from programme data, and preserving a touring show? Following a state-of-the-art review of research in performing arts and digital humanities (literature, history, and representation analysis), this Friday Frontiers webinar addresses current challenges, including data modelling, multimodal analysis, and artificial intelligence.

Digitised formats are immensely valuable for researchers but may seem dry and unappealing to broader audiences, particularly when the original content was intended for children. This talk presents the preliminary research conducted on digitised formats of popular children's literature found in specialised libraries.

Games create worlds made of many different elements, but also of rules, systems and structures for how we act in them. So how can we make sense of them? This webinar from the Friday Frontier series lays out this approach and how it can help you analyse and conceptualise gameworlds.

This module looks at emerging trends and best practice in data management, quality assessment and IPR issues. It looks at policies regarding data management and their implementation, particularly in the framework of a Research Infrastructure.

This Friday Frontiers presentation provides a rich insight to the design and development of the University College London's Sloane Lab knowledge base, the modelling choices, and priorities in relation to semantics and vocabularies and the range of challenges addressed in the process of aggregation in terms of data disparity, integration facility, conflicting information and inconsistency, uncertainty and data absence.

Social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, and Facebook can be great places for academics to share their research and reach new audiences. In this video, Dr Bob Nicholson (Edge Hill University, UK) will demonstrate the techniques he uses to share his research on Twitter.

Is ChatGPT unsettling you? Are you annoyed to always land on the same webportal when googling for a specific book? Do you hate it when just the one page you need to consult is nowhere to be found on the internet? This presentation by Anne Baillot is for you!

This presentation outlines the aim and scope of the Historical Farm and People Registry project, explains the development process and problems encountered on the way, and demonstrates a use case for the 'final' product.

Incentives and advocacy of open science principles have spread for more than two decades in the social sciences and humanities. In this presentation, taking archaeology as a case study, the underlying principles of the “archeoViz” ecosystem will be presented and illustrated, to fuel a more general discussion about the advocacy of open science principles in the social sciences and humanities.

This Friday Frontiers webinar, written by Susan Schreibman, Jenny Bergenmar and Monika Barget, and presented by the first two authors, brings together themes and case studies around feminism and digital humanities practices, and the intersections at play.

In this video, presented as part of the Friday Frontiers series, Bernard Pochet traces the evolution of Open Science at the University of Liège in the early 2000s, focusing on Open Access and the implementation of a Diamond Open Access journal publishing platform (PoPuPS) and an institutional repository (ORBi).

Data is now an indispensable part of investigative work and storytelling for journalists and newsrooms. Computational methods and artificial intelligence are making their way to newsrooms more than ever before, and promise to open up new opportunities for journalists, as well as new challenges. This talk provides an overview of how data and Artificial Intelligence can be used in the journalism workflow, investigative reporting and storytelling.

In this presentation as part of Friday Frontiers, British Library Digital Curator Stella Wisdom discusses the challenges and surprises encountered in the process of curating the 'Digital Storytelling' exhibition: a physical exhibition using entirely digital resources.

This module looks at the variety of practices within 'citizen science', how you as a humanist might get started working with them, what issues you should be wary of along the way and how Research Infrastructures can potentially help you.

In this webinar from the Friday Frontiers webinar series, Stefan Lindgren and Carolina Larsson (Lund University Humanities Lab) demonstrated a new workflow for using motion capture to study human movement and interaction.

The need to create a large corpus of early music data, one that coherently encodes and curates data that can be used for computer analysis, was the impetus behind the CORSICA project. This webinar outlines the results from that project and how it can facilitate large data analysis of digital early music corpora.

How would you as a person with deafblindness navigate the world – a world filled with navigation and mobility challenges, inaccessible information, and technologies that rely on the senses of sight and hearing? In this talk, Nasrine Olson (PhD, Associate Professor) introduces the idea behind the formation of the Centre for Inclusive Studies at University of Borås and presents a few projects that have explored ways in which technology can be leveraged to level the playing field.
