Subject: Data Modelling in the Humanities -- Call for Papers



Data Modelling in the Humanities
CALL FOR PAPERS

The AHRC-funded project, Beyond the Multiplex: Audiences for Specialised Film 
in English Regions<http://www.beyondthemultiplex.net/>, and The Digital 
Humanities Institute<http://www.dhi.ac.uk/> invite papers for a methodology 
workshop on the topic Data Modelling in the Humanities to be held at the 
University of Sheffield on Friday 29th November 2019.

The aim of this workshop is to explore new approaches to structuring, 
organising and analysing Humanities data in order to better represent the 
subject domain in question, and leverage new forms of inquiry.

A data model is an abstract representation of a knowledge domain, such as film, 
nineteenth-century crime and justice, or the lineages and networks of monastic 
orders. Data models can use a variety of approaches to describing, structuring 
and storing data such as ontologies, UML, relational databases, graph 
databases, RDF/triplestores, XML schemas etc. Data models also determine what 
types of data analysis are possible, in terms of querying, visualisation, and 
natural language understanding.  They might be used in research concerned with, 
for example, historical inquiry, scholarly editing, prosopography, discourse 
analysis, manuscript studies, or virtual reconstruction.

This is a fact-finding workshop, to discover what work is currently being 
undertaken in the Digital Humanities, and share insights and best practice. 
Practitioners working on projects or in research areas that use approaches more 
complex or experimental than conventional relational databases or TEI XML are 
particularly encouraged (although the former are not to be discouraged!)

Registration is free. Domestic (UK) travel costs will be reimbursed.

Interested speakers are invited to submit an abstract (maximum 800 words) for a 
presentation lasting 20 minutes by 30th September to 
[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>.


Speakers will be expected to contribute their paper to an online edited volume 
called Data Modelling in the Humanities, to be published by The Digital 
Humanities Institute (see 
https://www.dhi.ac.uk/openbook/series/studies-in-the-digital-humanities)
