Subject: IEEE CiSt'23 "Digital Preservation and Processing Technology of Written Heritage"
Dear digital humanists,
The 3rd Conference on Digital Preservation and Processing Technology of
Written Heritage will be held in conjunction with the 7th IEEE
International Congress on Information Science and Technology (*IEEE CiSt'23*)
the week of December 16th – 22th 2023 in Agadir - Essaouira, Morocco.
Written cultural heritage is constituted by an immense and constantly
growing number of texts conveyed by books, manuscripts, documents, and any
supporting medium. They are a means of communication and transmission of
knowledge and traditions, cultures and beliefs, literature and law, across
space and time. Written cultural heritage gives witness to the evolution of
humanity, sciences, and arts. It is considered as guardian of speech and
language.
Preservation, accessibility and exploration of written heritage are core
tasks of heritage institutions such as archives, libraries and museums as
well as of universities and other academic bodies. Digital technologies
provide new and more comprehensive approaches for safeguarding texts and
historical documents as well as for enabling meaningful engagement with our
written heritage not only by expert curators but also by citizen scientists
and the general public.
More recent enhancements of digisiation technologies and computational
tools allow for considerable advances in classification, archiving,
analysis and interpretation of documents. However, the transformation of
the textual heritage into digital assets gives rise to many concerns and
challenges. The digitization process of handwritten texts, prints and
historical documents represents a paramount task. The loss of information
issue from acquisition of an original object is but one of many problems to
handle.
The digital turn not only presents technological challenges. Methodological
and theoretical implications question traditional ways of perceiving and
defining texts and textuality, including the mechanisms and means of
textual transmission. Digitally transformed ecosystems of knowledge are
based on the digital representations of texts and text bearing objects,
with the potential of allowing a more efficient preservation and,
potentially, a more accurate comprehension of their history and tradition
which may help to better understand the present and plan for the future.
The conference aims to serve as a valuable venue for researchers and
practitioners to exchange their insights, experiences, and best practices.
The conference will focus on various aspects related to the preservation
strategies and workflows, digital content management and automatic
processing systems as well as infrastructures, frameworks and tools used
for preserving and making accessible written heritage.
TOPICS
We solicit submissions of original ideas and papers describing significant
results and developments in the digital curation of written cultural
heritage focussing but not restricted to the following topics:
- Digitisation workflows, tools and infrastructures
- Heritagization criteria and practices
- Born digital textual heritage
- Page segmentation, layout analysis and classification
- Image/video preprocessing (incl. multiview geometry, 3D computer
vision) and analysis
- Handwritten text recognition (HTR), optical character recognition
(OCR) and manual transcription
- Digital representation of texts: standards and formats
- Annotation, indexing and search
- Textual authenticity, fidelity and reliability
- Licenses and legal issues
- Knowledge representation: accumulation, integration, management
- Accessibility, usability and impact of digital resources
