OK, I just saw someone posting about a project called Terra Tempora (https://terra-tempora.com/?ref=mastodon) which claims to let you "scroll through history", searching for battles, treaties, and "tracking civilisations". Unfortunately the whole thing is a classic object lesson in why we shouldn't entrust our understanding of history to data scraping and AI processing, which is pretty clearly a core basis for the project. Here's some examples. #History #DigitalHumanities #DataViz #Histodons

Linked Sources: network perspectives on the polyphonic Te deum laudamus in the sixteenth century

This dissertation studies sixteenth-century polyphonic music based on the “Te deum laudamus” text, using methods and tools from network science. This interdisciplinary approach connects a trend from Digital Humanities with historical musicology. The dissertation is divided into two parts. The first part offers introductions on network science, on its applications in music studies and musicology, and on the history and characteristics of the “Te deum laudamus”. In the second part three different

RE: https://mastodon.social/@mbongowo/116918572217118815 "students learn buttons, not data models" - this perfectly encapsulates what I see again and again in #DigitalHumanities #HigherEd. Most courses (in my experience) are trying to get to the specific thing, be it a method or object, they want to focus on. Very understandably so. But with a this leads to skipping/rushing through the foundational concepts. It's a catch-22: Starting with the foundations is not engaging and can lead to 'learning without understanding why' 1/2, idea in next toot

Ten years of teaching GIS and remote sensing, and the hardest concept is still the same one: students learn buttons, not data models. Once someone truly gets what a raster is — a grid of measurements with a CRS stapled on — half of remote sensing follows on its own. Fellow geo educators: how do you teach the leap from software clicks to spatial thinking? #GIS #GISchat #RemoteSensing #Teaching #HigherEd

#Introduction A Quarex is a question with its context still attached. Every Quarex topic sits six levels deep — library type, library, shelf, book, chapter, and the topic question itself — and the answer engine is handed all six. The question is never flattened into a search string. Every answer is sourced, with three follow-ups and links out to other libraries and the web. Quarex is a new way to make certain kinds of books. #Libraries #Taxonomy #DigitalHumanities

Really interesting perspective on how digital cultural heritage depends not just on digitisation, but on sustainable infrastructures for access, preservation and discovery. @mia@hcommons.socialhttps://www.miaridge.com/dh20206-presentation-a-never-ending-story-supporting-access-to-museum-and-library-collections-in-the-uk/ #DigitalHumanities #CulturalHeritage #DigitalInfrastructure

Hat irgendjemand aus der deutschsprachigen Wissenschaftscommunity schon persönliche Erfahrungen mit dem Open Science Network https://openscience.network/ gesammelt? Es scheint eine Bonfire Instanz mit ORCID-Integration zu sein, eine Art Community Forum für Forschende im Fediverse... Wie LinkedIn aber ohne den Bullshit? Kennt ihr das? Ich wüsste gern mehr darüber. Boosts welcome! #OpenScience #FDM #Fediverse #Bonfire #NFDI #DigitalHumanities

Article on #SpokenWeb - the project I am a #ResearchAssistant for- has a good overview of how vast this partnership is, and its scope and stakes. I think it's pretty neat. #DH #DigitalHumanities #literature #LiteraryAudio #recordings #authors #RightsManagement @academicchatter@a.gup.pe #OralHistory #poetry #readings #storytelling #academia #scholarship #UniversityOfAlberta
