Subject: Events: Born-digital Evidence and Historical Scholarship (April 12, 19, 23)
Dear (digital) humanists, historians, archivists,
The School of Information at the University of Texas at Austin, in
collaboration with the Department of Germanic Studies, is
considering born-digital evidence and digital sources as historical
sources in their online event series /Born-digital Evidence and
Historical Scholarship/. Everybody welcome!
This series features international subject expert talks from the
libraries and archives sector, a digital investigation collective
and from the cybersecurity sector to consider born-digital evidence
from a Historical Scholarship and Humanities perspective. Our
digital present poses challenges to long-term preservation and
curation of born-digital archives, but also to their cautious
selection, critical appraisal and methodological analysis and
interpretation as historical evidence. Establishing, proving and
maintaining the chain of digital evidence, evaluating the evidential
status of born-digital sources and interpreting the traces of
historical digital events will be the daily practice of historians
studying our present time. The talk series Born-digital Evidence and
Historical Scholarship is a starter for the conversation about how
we establish this practice and build the skillsets, standards and
procedures for Historical Scholarship and the Humanities in
coordination with libraries and archives.

Subject: Knowledge Graphs and AI
Dear Willard,
I would inform you and Humanist's readers about the following online event:
CIRCSE - Centro Interdisciplinare di Ricerche per la Computerizzazione
dei Segni dell'Espressione
Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan (Italy)
Thursday 22th April 2021
Speaker: Ruth Pickering, COO, Yewno, Inc.
Title: Knowledge Graphs and AI
Transforming Data & Improving Content Discoverability
Abstract:
In this session, you will hear about knowledge graph technology and
its practical applications for research and publishing, including a
case study. We will cover the technology in detail from the ingestion
of raw documents in all formats through a series of algorithms to
create a knowledge graph. We will discuss the advantages of Knowledge
Graph technology which offers a dynamic environment not only keeping
up with the evolution of terminology through the concept based
approach but which also provides both context and connections. The
use of AI in this way re-introduces serendipity in the digital world.
