DARIAH Day @ UZH

Presentation and Workshops - 18.12.2017

 

DARIAH Day is a one day workshop intended to introduce the Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities (DARIAH) to the linguistic community in Zurich. The workshop will focus on the #dariahTeach platform, which was created through the  funding of an ERASMUS+ strategic partnership to test modules for open-source, high-quality, multilingual teaching materials for the digital arts and humanities. 

Participants will:

- Discover European infrastructures for digital humanities

- Learn the basics of XML / TEI

- Find out how to use the Multimodal Literacies eTalk tool

- Meet representatives of two leading European networks (DARIAH-EU and CLARIN ERIC)

Participation is free of charge, but please send us a message to info@linguistik.uzh.ch, if you intend to participate. Please specify the session(s) that you will attend. While the topics may be of particular interest to students and researchers of linguistic fields, participants from other fields are welcome as well!

*** For participants of the afternoon session: please make sure to read the instructions found in the program, which specify the tools you need to install in advance. ***

Program

Morning Session: The Benefits of DARIAH, DARIAH and CLARIN 

Moderation: Tanja Samardžić (URRP Language and Space, UZH)

10:15h to 12:00h - Room KOL-G-204

 

10:15-10:35: DARIAH and Its «Architecture of Participation»  (Frank Fischer)

A decade ago, DARIAH started to work on an pan-European digital research infrastructure for the arts and humanities. In this talk, I will introduce DARIAH's "architecture of participation" and will discuss how an infrastructure can serve the single scholar as well as the scholarly community with tools, services, and know-how.

 

10:35 – 10:55: Veni, vidi, CLARIN!  (Darja Fišer)

In my talk I will present CLARIN, a European research infrastructure for language resources and technology. Using the example of parliamentary records, I will demonstrate the value of uniform corpora and interoperable tools to answer research questions in different scholarly fields as well as enable translingual, transnational and transdiciplinary studies.

 

10:55 –11:15​: DARIAH and the Infrastructural Turn in the Humanities (Toma Tasovac)

One of the most important challenges facing Digital Humanities today is how to consolidate and repurpose available tools; how to create reusable but flexible workflows; and, ultimately, how to integrate and disseminate knowledge, instead of merely capturing it and encapsulating it. This technical and intellectual shift is what makes the infrastructural turn in Digital Humanities. In this talk, I will discuss the role of DARIAH in this new humanities landscape.

 

 11:15–11:35: Getting involved in DARIAH: a Swiss adventure in European DH (Claire Clivaz​)

This talk will present the point of view of a researcher joining the Digital Humanities to a specific scholarly field (biblical studies). Starting from this concrete experiment, I will encourage Swiss scholars to get involved in DARIAH working groups and collaborations. I will also argue that «Digital Humanities» is in my eyes a label of transition, accompanying our common journey towards digitized Humanities.
 

11:35 – 12.00: Panel Discussion

12:00 – 13:00: Buffet Lunch
