My schedule for Seattle #Worldcon later this month!
Come watch my panels on hopeful fiction and speculative poetry, or check out the research posters (including mine) at any time in the 4th floor Paramount Lounge. Looking forward to talking #solarpunk with other #SF fans!

#Preprints and #OpenAccess are of course a big thing in #DigitalHumanities! A lot of us, especially in Europe, use #Zenodo for papers / preprints, datasets, presentations, and more.
#DH is of course not representative of the #Humanities. We're a small (but loud and dynamic!), interdisciplinary field at the intersection of the humanities and computer science, simply put.
Methods evolve quickly in DH, so that may be a factor. Accessibility and openness are highly valued as well.
Leaving #Seoul after an intense week!
The #ICLA2025 Congress was a blast. I especially enjoyed our "Digital Comparative Literature" sessions; great discussions! And the round table on responsible use of generative LLMs turned out really great as well, with a rather large audience.
The only less-than-great thing was that, unsurprisingly, I think I was basically the only one posting about the event here, with @icla_dcl / @rebsim.

New blog post! In "From Access to Ethics: Data Discussions at the DH2025 Conference in Lisbon", our #DHLab_IEG team members Sofia Baroncini, @ConstanzeBuyken, @JuditGarzon, Ian Marino, @SarahOberbichler and Cindarella Petz @cprog7 share their impressions of the #DH2025.
Take a look at the patterns and trends they identified in the conference topics and at the subjects they explored in more detail:

First publication from CiVers!
How can we reliably cite resources of web-based research databases in archaeology and the humanities?
In our new article, we present the CiVers approach: creating versioned, citable web resources using Persistent Identifiers (PIDs).

'I define the digital humanities as a methodology and as a field. I don't see it as the logical telos of the humanities computing tradjectory, but rather as a parallel or sucessive movement. The digital humanities is a beautiful convergence of individuals interested in humanities scholarship, design, born-digital objects, technology and its impact on society, as well as contemporary history and culture.'

Uncovering AI bias in digital collections
Museums are using data science and NLP to detect and contextualize derogatory language in legacy catalog records. A case study from the Harvard University Herbaria shows how digital stewardship can promote ethical access and institutional transparency.

Im Fokus: unsere Ansätze zur praxisnahen Vermittlung von #Datenkompetenz in den Geistes- und Kulturwissenschaften – kollaborativ, anwendungsorientiert und offen für unterschiedliche Erfahrungsniveaus.
Ein großes Dankeschön an alle Beteiligten und an die DH-Community für den inspirierenden Austausch!

ZenodoNFDI4Culture Integration Stories: Bridging Gaps between isolated Research ResourcesThis paper is published with the Digital Humanities Conference 2025 in Lisbon, Portugal and was presented in the conference poster session. It showcases the integration of metadata from two cultural heritage (CH) sources - RISM Online and the Gregorovius digital edition - into the NFDI4Culture Knowledge Graph (NFDI4Culture-KG). NFDI4Culture-KG enhances findability and interoperability across disciplines like musicology, art history, and media studies. Using shared authority files (e.g., GND, VIAF) and the NFDI4Culture Ontology (CTO), heterogeneous datasets are semantically linked via e.g. people and locations. The integration is powered by an ETL environment (Culture Knowledge Graph Kitchen) enabling scalable harvesting, transformation, and integration of metadata on CH data into the Culture Knowledge Graph. This enables researchers to discover new connections - such as between musical sources of RISM Online and letters of the Gregorovius edition - via SPARQL or perspectively a GUI, enhancing cross-domain research in cultural heritage.
