After a theoretical introduction on the concepts of reproducible science and the Web of Data, we will present the methodology of scientific notebooks (e.g. Jupyter Notebooks). In this context, we will present a step-by-step approach to the creation of a scientific notebook in history: we will load a dataset from the Open Data of the institute and then apply filters and calculations on the data. A presentation and analysis layer with graphics will complete our research product with enrichments from external data and vocabularies from the Semantic Web. This will make our output reproducible and documented with text enriched with semantic schemas (schema.org) and disambiguation authorities (GND, dpPedia, Wikidata...), data sources and computer code. The presentation does not require advanced technical knowledge. It is aimed at beginners. The technical demonstration, in the second part, is deliberately simple in content and will be commented on as it goes along.

This is a recording of a presentation given at the workshop on 'Reproducible research in Archaeology' at Durham University on 15th October 2021. The workshop included an introduction to what reproducibility is, why it is important for archaeological research and how you can make your research workflow reproducible. It also included some case studies demonstrating reproducible workflows used in archaeological research. This workshop was organised by Software Sustainability Institute Fellows - Alison Clarke and Emma Karoune. The slides from the presentation are available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5564648.

1st Lecture

Creating transcriptions can be a tedious job. The computer tool Transkribus can ease the process after some training. In this digital workshop, we will commence with the knowledge you gained in the basic training. You will now learn about judging the quality of a model, structure tags and automatic training of structure through P2PaLA, combining existing transcriptions with images (T2I), future options with tables and NERs-tagging. This workshop was organised through a Zoom-meeting. The workshop is in English and is provided in by Annemieke Romein, a postdoctoral researcher at Huygens ING and experienced Transkribus-user. The video can be found at: Date: May 19th, 2020; 1-4pm CEST. Location: online.

This talk tackles images as data in the digital humanities. This visual turn, enabled by a new set of computational methods such as image analysis using computer vision, foregrounds and disputes the logocentrism that has prevailed in digital humanities work over the decades. Abetted by a narrowly construed history of the field, textual computational work has often taken center stage, its longevity propelled by the centrality of particular disciplines to DH. We advocate for a broader role for the image, highlighting the potential of visual resources as the data for analysis and harnessing methods for analyzing images qua images. The talk is organized around three case studies: (1) Distant Viewing Protest Photography, (2) Photogrammar, and (3) Seeing Incunabula: Text as Image. They demonstrate how computational image analysis combined with institutional commitments to digitization along with inter and trans-disciplinary questions can forge avenues of inquiry in the field. We argue that thinking of images as data opens up a more capacious configuration of sources, evidence, and methods in DH. We are sorry that the recording was started only after the welcoming note.
