Subject: Deadline extension: 3rd IEEE Conference on Digital Preservation and processing technology of Written Heritage, 16 - 22 December 2023, Agadir – Essaouira, Morocco
Dear digital humanists,
The CfP Deadline of the 3rd Conference on Digital Preservation and
processing technology of Written heritage (DPWH)
has been extended to May 21 2023.
DPWH 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safeguarding texts and historical documents as well as for enabling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 digitization 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handwritten texts, prints and historical documents represents a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 focusing 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
