-Jodi ========================== Registration is now open for the workshop “Realising the Opportunities of Digital Humanities”, Tues 23rd – Thurs 25th October 2012. This exciting event is the first in a series of workshops targeting the industry-academic interface for identifying and realising the opportunities of the digital humanities. It is jointly organised by the two major digital humanities national infrastructures (the Digital Repository of Ireland-DRI and the Digital Humanities Observatory-DHO), and the largest semantic web research Institute (Digital Enterprise Research Institute- DERI, NUI Galway), together with a large-scale European digital infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities (Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities-DARIAH). The event will be held between Dublin and Maynooth, Ireland. The focus of this event is to engage academia, industry, cultural institutions and public bodies to identify the key research challenges in digital humanities, and to further build the academic-industry partnerships that will enable adoption of digital humanities skills, technologies and tools. This focus will extend to the innovative use of digital humanities technologies in the public sector demonstrating social benefit, such as the digitisation of the Irish census and the use of open linked public data. During the three days, participants will expand their skills through a series of workshops lead by subject matter experts, in the areas of data visualisation and in the application of linked data to leverage the semantic web for scholarly humanities research. This workshop will combine a day of hands-on practical application with master classes and lectures and a day-long symposium drawing together academic and industry practitioners. Day 1: Tuesday 23rd October 2012, The Importance of Digital Humanities, Case Studies in Action, and Academic-Public-Industry partnerships achieving more.
