Digitization Lifecycle Mapping the Landscape of eResearch
Mapping the Landscape of eReseach [edit]
The workshop at a glance[edit]
To improve eResearch applications several Max-Planck-Institutes within the humanities launched this workshop organized by the Max Planck Digital Library. The workshop wants to enable scientists, IT-professionels, “cybrarians” and other people dealing with digitization projects, eResearch or virtual research solutions to get in touch with each other. Chosen professionals will present their projects in the context of text, image and annotation within an expert audience of like-minded people. It is an explicit goal of the workshop that participants think out of the box and beyond their institutional and technical roots. Contributors are asked to report in depth on their topics, solutions, tools and encountered problems. Additionally, the workshop wants to provide an open space for discussion and a platform for networking. Communication, exchange and potentially resulting collaboration are intended and desirable.
Mapping the Landscape of eReseach addresses core fields and key issues of digitization projects and Virtual Research Environment that appear recurrently in very different research contexts when such projects are being planned and realized:
- Status and future development of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI)
- Linguistic tools and processes, Linguistic computing
- Images: Viewing specifications, image administration and presentation tools, visualization
- Referencing: reference data and annotations, layer solutions, mark-up tools
Background[edit]
This workshop was planed and realized on behalf of the MPG-Project Digitization Lifecycle. For more information about Digitization Lifecycle (hier die englische Übersetzung verlinken) please visit our project website.

Abstracts[edit]
- Christoph Ringlstetter (Center for Information and Language Processing CIS, University of Munich): Improving access to historical documents - special lexica and resources
The vocabulary of historical texts differs from modern vocabulary in various ways. Especially for OCR and Information Retrieval on historical text collections, special electronical lexica are needed. We report on our experience in collecting and analyzing suitable diacronic corpus material and in the construction of special lexical resources for historical texts from four centuries: the "hypothetical" lexicon covering rule based variants, the manually verified lexicon for Information Retrieval and first experiments on historical Named Entity recognition with special background resources.
- Irena Murray (Royal Institute of British Architects): Architecture Global: Linking Collections in the Digital Universe
Envisioning a progressively linked network of digitized collections in the architecture field is a natural ambition for the Royal Institute of British Architects in London. With collections of drawings, photographs, models, artifacts, photographs and rare books of over four million items, the Institute is engaged in developing an innovative model for their digital delivery not just to its 45 000 architects-members, but to students, curators, scholars and the interested public world-wide. The model anticipates a progressive network of international partnerships through which digitized collections can be linked to an underlying structure for world-wide access. The initial concept and modeling will be discussed.
