International Workshop
"ONTOLOGY BASED MODELLING IN THE HUMANITIES"
(http://www.c-phil.uni-hamburg.de/view/Main/OntologyWorkshop)
7-9 April 2006, University of Hamburg
In the new area of digitalized information, researchers from the
humanities face a new problem: semantic data organisation. In
contrast with the data processed by natural sciences, the material in
most fields of humanities is mostly unstructured. The structuring of
such data is a complex problem that can be solved only by formal
models and languages from computer science. However the application
of formal models from formal sciences (especially computing) is
itself a scientific problem as humanists have their own scientific
culture not only in the argumentation and meta-theories but also in
their way of communication. With the development of the Semantic Web
the "ontology"-concept became an important "key" for
data-structuring. Some ontologies were developed also in the
Humanities, but there is still no overview of what exists, which
standards are used and how well the current ontologies meet the users
requirements.
The current workshop aims to fill this gap and act also as a
discussion forum We welcome original papers related (but not limited)
to one or more of the following topics:
* theoretical relevant models for humanities
* formal prerequisites
* specific ontologies for different fields in Humanities
* collaborative tools for ontology manipulation
* Semantic Web technologies for preserving cultural heritage
* Semi-automatic ontology extraction
* Ontology development in multilingual context
* Practical use of ontologies in Humanities

Session 18, "Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and History: Aggregating Data, Connecting Places, and Analyzing Processes," Thursday, 5 January 2006, 3:00-5:00 p.m., in Washington Room A of Loews Philadelphia Hotel (p.85 of the printed program). This is a joint session with the American Association for History and Computing. The panel leading the discussion consists of Zephyr Frank (Stanford University), Anne Kelly Knowles (Middlebury College), John H. Long (The Newberry Library), Ruth Mostern (University of California at Merced), and J. B. "Jack" Owens (Idaho State University). A roundtable discussion is a relatively new AHA session format. In order to stimulate the discussion, we have taken advantage of another new AHA format: the "precirculated" paper. Each of us has written some sort of paper, dealing with one or more aspects of the use of GIS, which is available online through the AHA's meeting program, at the URL: http://www.historians.org/annual/program.cfm We hope that some of those who attend the session will read some or all of the papers beforehand and come to the discussion with comments and questions. Each of us will briefly summarize his or her paper, speaking for no more than ten minutes, and the rest of the time will be available for open discussion. You can read about our intentions in the opening section of Jack Owens' "paper," which he has also made available as a web page: http://www.isu.edu/~owenjack/AHA2006.html There will also be a second session that focuses on GIS. It is entitled "Mapping the World with Geographic Information Systems (GIS)" and is part of the companion meetings of the Center for History and New Media and the Community College Humanities Association. The session will be held on Friday, 6 January, 9:30-11:00 a.m., in Room 103 of the Courtyard Philadelphia Downtown (p. 106 of the printed program). --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 04 Jan 2006 06:11:29 +0000 From: "Jack Boeve" <JBoeve_at_umuc.edu> Subject: Jan. 6 Early Registration Deadline for Online Workshop * Are you seeking greater clarity on fact versus fiction in the realm of Digital Rights Management (DRM) in higher education? * Do you want to explore the complex issues involved in managing copyrights on campus?
