Subject: Workshop on Transcription of Medieval MSS at Berkeley
April 26
The Digital Scriptorium Project has prepared a revised version of the
Document Type Definition (DTD) for the encoded transcription of medieval
manuscripts using XML, documentation of that DTD, and a set of software
tools to facilitate their use. These materials are available to anyone, at
UC Berkeley or elsewhere, at
http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/Scriptorium/transcription.html
The original DTD was prepared by Michael Sperberg-McQueen, former U.S.
editor of the Text Encoding Initiative. An XML version was prepared by
David Seaman (Electronic Text Center, U. of Virginia). This in turn was
revised by Sharon Goetz (UC Berkeley). We are deeply indebted to all three
for their work.
The Bancroft Library, U. of California, Berkeley, will sponsor a one-day
hands-on workshop (9 a.m. - 4
p.m.) on Friday, April 26. The workshop will be led by Sharon Goetz and
Charles Faulhaber and will cover all aspects of the use of the
transcription guidelines and the software: downloading and installation,
overview of text encoding principles for the preparation of
machine-readable texts, and step-by-step instruction in the encoding and
transcription of medieval manuscripts using the software.
Participants may use manuscripts available on the Digital Scriptorium
website or provide their own.
There is no fee, but we can accomodate only 17 participants. If you are
interested in attending the workshop, please contact Charles Faulhaber
(cfaulhab@library.berkeley.edu).
If there is sufficient interest, we will schedule a second workshop for
the summer.

Subject: International symposium on the Slovene novel
Symposium Obdobja 21
Methods and Genres
The Slovene Novel
Ljubljana, 5-7 December 2002
http://www.ff.uni-lj.si/center-slo/simpozij-21-eng.html
You are cordially invited to the international symposium on the Slovene
novel that will take place in Ljubljana December 5-7 this year. There is at
least one topic in the invitation that could be of interest to some
Humanist members, namely the relation between the novel and other media
(digitalization, screen realization, etc.).
There will be no registration fee for participants.
Members of Humanist may be interested to note that some of the Slovene
novels have been translated into other languages and are suitable for being
analysed also by those who don't speak Slovene (e. g. the succesful
Vladimir Bartol's historical novel Alamut, 1938, dealing with the suicide
soldiers in the 11th century Iran, is available in French and German
translations).

Digital Preservation: 2nd OCLC Institute Videoconference this Friday
Do you recall the glorious color images sent back by Voyager? Or photos of
the first humans on the moon? Where is that information now? Will future
generations be able to access it?
Conceived by NASA, the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) standard
offers a framework for protecting our digital heritage.
What does OAIS mean to information professionals? How should we apply it to
our storage, preservation, and access projects?
Please join us this Friday, April 19, noon-2:30 EST, for the OCLC
Institute's second "Steering by Standards" videoteleconference. Our
speakers on the topic of "The OAIS Imperative: Enduring Record or Digital
Dust?"--
Don Sawyer of NASA, Bruce Ambacher of NARA, and MacKenzie Smith of MIT--will
welcome your comments and questions via e-mail, fax, or toll-free phone.
For registration information, please see

If you have questions, please contact Amy Lytle, OCLC Institute, at

http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2003
*** Call for Track Proposals ***
*** Deadline Extended to 25th of April ***
For the past seventeen years the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has been a primary forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers and application developers to gather, interact and present their work. The ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP)is the sole sponsor of SAC. The conference proceedings are published by ACM and are also available on the web through ACM's Digital Library.
SAC is based on a flexible structure of mostly self-contained and self-managed tracks. Over the past years it has hosted tracks on a variety of topics such as Artificial Intelligence, BioInformatics, Computers in Education, Parallel and Distributed Systems, Internet Technologies, Software Engineering, etc. SAC'02, which was held in Madrid, Spain, consisted of 21 tracks which hosted 194 accepted papers out of 457 submissions.
