>> Workshop: Collaborative Annotations in Shared Environments: metadata,
>> vocabularies and techniques in the Digital Humanities (DH-CASE)
>> Venue: Co-located with DocEng 2013, Florence
>> Date: September 10, 2013
>> Web page: http://www.cs.unibo.it/dh-case/

>> 1. Abstract
>> In the last few years, collections of digital text have strongly
>> increased in number, especially in the field of humanities. Digital
>> libraries of full-text documents, including digital editions of literary
>> texts, are emerging as environments for the production, the management
>> and the dissemination of complex annotated corpora.
>> The potential interpretative levels emerging from the analysis of textual
>> phenomena (including bibliographic, linguistic, thematic, structural,
>> rhetorical and prosopographic aspects) converge to produce a
>> stratification of annotations whose complex interactions may give light
>> to new and unexpected potentials for analysis.
>> Yet, each community in the field of humanities (archives, libraries,
>> museums, literary studies, etc.) have developed independent metadata
>> models and annotation techniques for their corpora. In a shared
>> environment, the possibility to annotate different aspects of a text
>> overlaps with metadata models and ontologies used for annotation (i.e.
>> TEI, EAD/EAC, CIDOC-CRM, DC, FRBR, SKOS, etc.) and related values
>> vocabularies (i.e. DDC, Geonames, LC, VIAF, Wordnet, Dbpedia) but also
>> with techniques for producing annotations, both with embedded or
>> stand-off markup methods based on XML or other formal languages possibly
>> even in a linked data perspective (OWL/RDF).
>> The aim of this workshop is to explore the state of art in the field of
>> collaboration in text annotation and to reflect on existing platforms for
>> document sharing and management, methods and techniques for multi-level
>> annotation, metadata and vocabularies for declaring interpretative
>> instances.
>> 
>> 2. Topics
>> In detail, the focus of the workshop will be on:
>> - Multi-level annotations in textual corpora
>> - Collaborative platforms for digital text annotation and existent
>> solutions
>> - The metadata dialogue: crosswalk in annotating digital textual resources
>> - Annotation and markup in the humanities: techniques and technologies
>> - Linked data and Cultural Heritage: possibilities and perspectives in
>> the interchange between digital/textual annotated objects
>> - What is a text? The differing interpretations of what constitutes a
>> text within different DH communities
>> - OAC. The Open Annotation Collaboration. Utility and case studies in the
>> DH domain
>> - Archives, Libraries and Museums. The DH role and approach to cultural
>> heritage
>> - Annotation and ownership: Annotation in a cross-community context
>> 
>> 3. Submissions
>> Proposal will be submitted via EasyChair at
