Dear all,
as announced last Thursday at the SIG meeting, we are pleased to inform
you the Pôle histoire numérique (Digital history department) of the
LARHRA laboratory will organize the founding workshop of the
international consortium <http://dataforhistory.org/> for the
development of a CIDOC-CRM hist extension "*Data for History*" on 23-24
November 2017 at the École normale supérieure de Lyon (France).
The purpose of the Data for History consortium is to establish a common
method for modelling, curating and managing data in historical research.
Such a method would provide foundational support to historical research
projects adopting a framework of collaborative, cumulative and
interoperable scientific data production and investigation. The
consortium aims to build up an international community of historians and
computer scientists to first develop and then maintain a common
ontological model that would allow for domain specific, semantically
robust data integration and interoperability. The consortium aims to
build this model as an extension of the CIDOC-CRM, in order to integrate
to a broader cross-disciplinary modelling and data community. It begins
already with the foundational modelling experience and data developed
within the symogih.org project <http://symogih.org/?lang=en>.
To support this process, the consortium has undertaken the development
of an ontology management system <http://ontologies.dataforhistory.org/>
which is designed to facilitate the understanding of different data
models and ontologies related to the domain of historical research and
support an open ontology development process. This platform will support
a controlled development process of the ontology where the modification
of the model (addition/modification/subtraction of classes and
properties) will be tracked and submitted to a validation process by the
expert community. This open and traceable process aims to foster the
coherence and interoperability of the ontology model development in the
domain of historical research. It will also allow the management of
specific data models for research projects and use them for data production.
Here is the provisional programme :
*
*23 November 2017*
o
15.00 Introduction
o
15.15 dataforhistory.org project presentation: a proposition
o
16.00 spotlight presentation of present projects (5 minutes
presentations)
o
break
o
17.30 general discussion about the dataforhistory.org proposition
o
19.00 dinner
*
*24 November 2017*
o
9.00 - 10.30 Activity planning (Planning of the common activity
in the next months)

To organize the workshop in the best conditions, please let us know
quickly if you are going to participate.
We encourage you to present your project in the spotlight session and
explain, if possible, the interest of the consortium as described above
for your work. If you wish to propose a presentation, please tell us its
title as soon as possible in order to establish the final programme.
If you think that other colleagues might be interested in this workshop,
please do not hesitate to send them this message.
Best regards,
Francesco Beretta, head of the digital history department (PHN)
Vincent Alamercery, coordinator of the PHN scientific projects
