This talk will explore these themes focusing on new modes o= f research, new types of infrastructures and new models of scholarship and rewards. All are welcome. ---------- Wednesday 31 March 2009 *DHO Workshop: e-Publishing for Postgrads* Location: UCD Humanities Institute of Ireland Time: 10:00 - 13:00 Postgraduate students seeking employment in the academy often find little guidance in getting their work published in order to establish a reputation and even less guidance in using digital tools to disseminate their work outside of traditional publishers. This workshop will discuss changes takin= g place in the system of scholarly communication and give advice for creating scholarship that transcends traditional models of print publishing. ----------- Wednesday 7 to Friday 9 April 2010 *Digital Scholarship: Editing, Mining and Teaching with E-Resources*Venue: NUI, Galway Times: TBA Speakers: Dr Susan Schreibman, Dr Se=E1n Ryder, Kevin Hawkins This three-day event at NUI, Galway will explore a range of digital scholarly practice in creating and using the wealth of resources now available electronically. During the first two days both beginner and advanced text encoding workshops will be offered. These workshops will concentrate on the theories and practicalities of creating electronic scholarly editions utilising the Text Encoding Initiative Guidelines, the standard in the field. On the third day a single strand will be offered entitled 'Using Digital Resources for Irish Research and Teaching'. This workshop is specifically designed for those who may not want to create their own resources, but who wish to take advantage of the wide variety of digital resources now available to the field. This workshop will introduce participants to a variety of primary and secondary resources while also exploring a number of freely available tools to transform and, indeed, deform this data to discover new patterns, new themes, and new insights. Part of the day will specifically deal with integrating digital resources and tools into teachin= g practice. ----------- Wednesday 28 April 2010 *Symposium on TEI and Scholarly Publishing in conjunction with the TEI Council * Location: Royal Irish Academy Time: 10:00-17:00 The growing trend toward open-access publishing and toward funder mandates for deposit of preprints in archives such as PubMed Central (PMC) has led t= o interest in the interchange of scholarly literature in XML created by different parties. What role could or should the TEI have in asserting itself as a standard format for author manuscripts, published manuscripts o= r both? Should it be involved in building systems for sharing and commenting on such manuscripts? Should it create a TEI customization for scholarly publishing or broker a relationship with a vendor for discounted conversion of content to TEI/XML? This Symposium will explore such questions through a series of presentation= s outlining the current state in institutional publishing operations from the point of view of private sector publishers (among which the NLM DTDs are increasingly adopted), and from international initiatives where interoperability has been identified as a major concern. The objective is t= o identify current difficulties in making publication systems interoperable and identify priority actions for the TEI. *---------* * * 28 June - 2 July *Summer School 2010* Date: June 28 - July 2 Venue: Royal Irish Academy and Trinity College Dublin The Digital Humanities Observatory in conjunction with NINES and the EpiDoc Collaborative is pleased to offer the DHO Summer School 2010.
