Subject: 3DVisA Seminar: Turning the Pages, 20 February 2008
Dear All,
Colleagues and students with interests in manuscripts, rare books, 3D
visualisation and electronic resources may be interested in attending
Turning the Pages 2.0
3D digital audio-facsimile of manuscripts and rare books
A 3DVisA seminar with Michael Stocking, Armadillo Systems
Organised by the JISC 3D Visualisation in the Arts Network (3DVisA)
Wednesday, 20 February 2008, 4pm
Seminar room, 2nd floor
Centre for Computing in the Humanities
King's College London
26-29 Drury Lane
London WC2B 5RL
Turning the Pages is a technology for creating interactive 3D facsimile of
books. It powers an ongoing digitisation programme of the most treasured,
illuminated manuscripts and rare books in the British Library, National
Library of Ireland, USA National Library of Medicine, and other libraries
and archives. For more information and links see 3DVisA Index of 3D
Projects, http://3dvisa.cch.kcl.ac.uk/project19.html.
Introduced in 1998, the technology was originally available on local
terminals. Since 2001 it has been developed for the web by Armadillo
Systems. Michael Stocking will discuss the new version of software, TTP 2.0,
launched in 2007, which provides a more realistic 3D environment for the
books as well as new analytical tools. The partnership with Microsoft
indicates its future potential.
Some issues to be covered: 3D environment, the problem of scale, how do you
integrate 1000 books; how important is the user interface design, especially
for academic research? Features versus reach; the current use of markup
(XML) and potential for further development, open source versus proprietary,
technical standards (scanning, file formats and resolutions).
Alberto Campagniolo, an MA Digital Culture and Technology student at King's
will give an overview of the existing 3D techniques for the visualisation of
books.
It will be helpful if you use TTP in advance of the seminar and note any
questions you may have.
Recommended reading/listening on the British Libary website

ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
'The Marriage of Mercury and Philology: Problems and Outcomes in
Digital Philology'
International Seminar of Digital Philology
Edinburgh, March 25th - 27th, 2008
Venue: e-Science Institute, 15 South College Street, Edinburgh
The conference is organised and hosted by the e-Science Institute,
National e-Science Centre, and supported by the University of
Edinburgh, the Italian Institute in Edinburgh, and the French Institute
in Edinburgh.
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
In late Antiquity, at the beginning of a new era, Martianus Cappella
wrote his 'De nuptiis Mercurii et Philologiae' in which he proposed a
then revolutionary synthesis of technique (Mercury) and culture
(Philology). Inspired by Cappella, this conference will explore the
interaction between Information and Communication Technology systems
and the philological analysis of both ancient and modern manuscripts
and printed texts: in other words Digital Philology.
The discussions at this conference focus on both the theoretical and
practical issues encountered in the creation of digital texts and both
critical and genetic editions. The implications for research and
teaching will be examined and current projects in the field will be
presented. The aim of the conference is to approach these issues from
an international perspective, in order to establish collaboration in
research and teaching, and to provide new contributions to the field as
a result. Workshops will provide a forum for discussing experiences,
ideas, issues and new tools related to Digital Philology with students.
The conference welcomes both leading scholars and young researchers
working on the problems of textual criticism and editorial scholarship
in the electronic medium, as well as students, teachers, librarians,
archivists, and computing professionals who are interested in
representation, access, exchange, management and conservation of texts.
WEBCAST
The conference will be webcast in order to allow wider participation.
The link to the webcast will appear on the e-Science Institute website
http://www.nesc.ac.uk/esi/events/854/index.cfm. 1 hour before the
workshop / webcast is due to be broadcast.
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
The conference aims to encourage international conversations and
networking between participants in different projects and countries,
and to offer an international perspective on the issues of textual
criticism and editorial scholarship in the electronic medium. As the
conference is actively promoting a European perspective, speakers will
come from different European countries. Keynote speakers will be
academic scholars renowned in the field of Digital Philology. The
following have confirmed their participation:
Peter Robinson, University of Birmingham, UK;
Jean-Louis Lebrave, Institut des Textes et Manuscrits, CNRS / ENS, France;
Paolo D'Iorio, Institut des Textes et Manuscrits CNRS / ENS, France;
Domenico Fiormonte, Roma Tre University, Rome, Italy;
Andrea Bozzi, Istituto Linguistica Computazionale, CNR, Pisa, Italy;
Edward Vanhoutte, CTB - Centrum voor Teksteditie en Bronnenstudie,
Koningstraat, Belgium;
Manfred Thaller, University of Cologne, Germany.
SUBMISSIONS
-TOPICS:
We welcome proposals that discuss any aspect of the interaction
between ICT and philology.
In order to provide a good overview of the current state of Digital
Philology, the conference will focus on four main topics:
1. Tools:
Pieces of software; technologies and multimedia tools employed to
create digital critical and genetic editions; multimedia archives and
collaborative publications (representation, cataloguing, collation,
comparison, textual analysis, textual genesis, interchange, management
and preservation of manuscripts and printed editions in
text/image/audio/video format).
2. Products:
Digital critical and genetic editions, multimedia archives, and
collaborative publications available on CD-ROMs and/or on the World
Wide Web (current projects, work in progress, updates on continuing
mature projects).
3. Methodologies:
Impact of ICT on philological studies
Methodological approaches used when preparing a digital edition
Accomplishment of a digital edition that is truly new and innovative
What ICT in textual criticism enables scholars to do that could not be
done before
Digital philology as 'traditional' philology in a new fashion
Digital philology as a new discipline in itself
Relation between digital and traditional philology
Collaborative publication of digital editions / Collaborative
philological research in a virtual environment.
4. Learning/Teaching:
The use of critical and genetic editions and multimedia archives in
learning/teaching languages, linguistics, literature, history,
palaeography, creative writing, textual criticism, digital philology.
-TYPES OF PROPOSAL:
Paper:
Proposals for papers should be no less than 750 words. Papers will be
allocated 50 minutes for presentation, including a 10 minute question-
answer session.
Workshop:
Proposals for workshops should be no less than 500 words. Workshops
will be allocated 50 minutes for presentation, including 30 minutes of
collaborative work.
There should be no difference in quality between papers and workshop
presentations. The same academic standards should apply in both cases,
but workshops may be a more suitable way of presenting projects with
teaching and interactive purposes, since they provide an opportunity
for students to exchange ideas, methods and techniques with
international scholars. The choice between the two modes of
presentation should depend on the most effective and informative way of
communicating the scientific content of the proposal.
Proposals are peer-reviewed.
-FORMAT OF PROPOSAL
All proposals must be uploaded onto the Call for Papers page on the e-
Science website http://www.nesc.ac.uk/esi/events/854/proposal.cfm in
