I’m currently interested in hermeneutic markup hence my proposal: let’s try a web based tagger that lets the user define custom tags and give him the ability to apply those tags to passages of the current web page. As Wendell pointed out, tags should be able to overlap and allow a good visibility. We could […]

Herding Archivists – and other ideas
02.07.2010
I’m only able to attend the second day of THATCamp, so will probably end up fitting in with someone else’s session proposal, but here are a couple of ideas I’d be interested in exploring if possible: Crowdsourcing Archival Description. Most archive organisations have significant cataloguing backlogs, which restricts access to collections. But they also have […]
Rethinking the Digital Scholarly Edition
01.07.2010
I’d like to propose a brainstorming session in which we re-imagine, rethink, and reconceptualize the digital edition. Some of the questions we could begin with include: What are current digital editions doing well? What are they lacking? How can we make them more useful for both professional readers and the general public? What do we […]
Kicking off the Developers’ Challenge
01.07.2010
THATCamp London is running a Developers’ Challenge (DC) in parallel with THATCamp London and DH2010. (see information about this at thatcamplondon.org/developers-challenge/). As a part of the Challenge, one of the first sessions in the THATCamp will be a get-together session where some of the data providers meet some or all of the developer-contestants. In addition, […]
TEXTvre and GATE?
01.07.2010
What about some work related to TEXTvre / TextGrid and GATE – e.g. integration of GATE services with TEXTvre?
Exploiting the ATAM Space
30.06.2010
THATCamp London/DH2010 is being held in King’s recently renovated facility called the Anatomy Theatre and Museum (ATAM) — a Grade 1 listed space which is described as a facility “for exploration and innovation in performance and e-research.” The ATAM’s website describes the Museum space as equipped with facilities such as “white wall storyboarding with e-beams, […]
Participatory, Interdisciplinary and Digital
26.06.2010
There’s much being said, written and created around the digital humanities at the moment. There’s less, from what I can see, around digital engagement with social research. I’m an interdisciplinary social researcher (researching biblical studies/theology and disability studies). I’m interested in ways in which social research can learn from the digital humanities project. Participatory social […]
Where is your text going?
25.06.2010
I am a tool builder currently focused on building a tool that facilitates transcription of manuscripts housed in digital archives like Parker on the Web and e-codices by performing image analysis to locate each line in an image, and presenting each line to the user for transcription. It really makes transcription and proofreading easier. One […]
Telling Stories to your Computer
22.06.2010
A group of us have been working on a (semi-unofficial) project to describe the narrative content within and across media objects (contextus.net/). Recently we have began looking at bootstrapping the system by playing with TEI marked up plays to identify basic character (and character-interaction) information in addition to our ongoing discussion about at ways to […]
“Sum” THATCamp possibilities?
17.06.2010
As a participant of the upcoming THATCamp I was asked to outline a session I’d like have. Hmm… Well, I think I can brainstorm a few possibilities: Exploiting R – R is a increasingly popular open source statistical tool/programming language. I’d like to get up with others to discuss how it can be used in […]
