Piazza","doi":"10.1093/llc/fqt060","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/llc/fqt060","url":null,"abstract":"Scholars are using the Web every day to search, read, collaborate, and ultimately do their research. While some of the basic activities that the scholars do, such as reading and writing papers, are already well supported in the digital world, some essential scholarly primitives, such as annotation, augmentation, contextualiza- tion, and externalization, do not yet have clear support in terms of software tools. What scholars ultimately do during their research activity is to iteratively and collaboratively create new knowledge. With the advent of the Digital Humanities, we now have the opportunity—and technology—to capture at least a part of this knowledge and make it available as machine-processable data so to be better explorable and discoverable. In this paper, we present and discuss Pundit: a novel semantic annotation tool that enables scholars to collect, annotate, and contextualize Web resources. Deep-linking is used in conjunction with an RDF- based data model to allow granular selection of content (e.g. text excerpts, image fragments). Pundit aims at enabling scholars to produce meaningful machine- readable data that captures the semantics of their annotations. By providing a customizable annotation environment, where domain specific vocabularies can be loaded, and easy ways of integrating with existing Web archives or libraries, Pundit enables users to publish their annotations and collaboratively build a semantic graph. Such a graph can be consumed via HTTP APIs and standard SPARQL, thus allowing existing Linked Data applications to easily work with the data and Web clients in general to build specific visualizations.","PeriodicalId":235034,"journal":{"name":"Lit.

Girardi","doi":"10.1093/llc/fqt059","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/llc/fqt059","url":null,"abstract":"There is a need in the humanities for a 3D WebGIS with analytical tools that allow researchers to analyze 3D models linked to spatially referenced data. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) allow for complex spatial analysis of 2.5D data. For example, they offer bird's eye views of landscapes with extruded building footprints, but one cannot 'get on the ground' and interact with true 3D models from a pedestrian perspective. Meanwhile, 3D models and virtual envir- onments visualize data in 3D space, but analytical tools are simple rotation or lighting effects. The MayaArch3D Project is developing a 3D WebGIS—called QueryArch3D—to allow these two distinct approaches to 'talk to each other' for studies of architecture and landscapes—in this case, the eighth-century Maya kingdom of Copan, Honduras. With this tool, researchers can search and query, in real time via a virtual reality (VR) environment, segmented 3D models of multiple resolutions (as well as computer-assisted design and reality- based) that are linked to attribute data stored in a spatial database. Beta tests indicate that this tool can assist researchers in expanding questions and develop- ing new analytical methods in humanities research. This article summarizes the results of a pilot project that started in 2009, with an art historian and an archae- ologist's collaborative research on the ancient Maya kingdom and UNESCO World Heritage site of Copan in Honduras—called MayaArch3D.

For reasons detailed in that paper, and summarized again here, we excluded Mormon prophet Joseph Smith from our authorship tests. The work presented here reevaluates our decision to exclude Smith and employs both supervised classification and unsupervised clustering in order to explore the stylistic consistency between documents attributed to Smith (but written in the handwriting of Smith's 24 different scribes) and documents in Smith's own hand.","PeriodicalId":235034,"journal":{"name":"Lit.

His goal was to transmit knowledge to his sons. This article is a report on the computer-assisted analysis of the Zibaldone and the knowledge Giovanni intended to transmit. The 2nd and 3rd sections treat the theoretical framework applied for knowledge structure analysis and the technical requirements this imposed. In the 4th section, I explain how I transformed the manuscript into a semantically and linguistically annotated corpus with the help of semi-automatic procedures. I also discuss the integrated research environment that I developed to store and link information from secondary and primary sources. In the 6th section, through a concrete research problem, the analysis of social perception, I demonstrate the practical application and the power of the digital environment. This section also presents how the knowledge system described in the codex is reconstructed with the help of a Web Ontology Language ontology. Finally, I argue that a project in Digital Humanities can bring new insights only if a comprehensive theoretical model directs the design and the use of the digital environment; one that functions as a framework to interpret the data that the digital environment produces. .................................................................................................................................................................................","PeriodicalId":235034,"journal":{"name":"Lit.
