Was just watching a recording of the second day of #Wikimania in #Nairobi and happened on a #Wikidata presentation. A member of the audience suggested a tool registry to be implemented on top of Wikidata during the Q&A. As comments are disabled for the recordings (on YouTube), I would like to mention our modest effort at building exactly such a tool registry for the #DigitalHumanities.
The project website can be found at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_DH_Tool_Registry

New blog post: Digital Humanities Outreach and Media Fragmentation
How do we reach an audience when the audience has scattered?

Excited to share my new article “Taken for granted? Investigating constructivist principles with Bayes’ theorem in Digital Humanities scholarship” in DSH! I explore how constructivist principles intersect (and sometimes clash) with Bayesian methods in DH.
Als Theaterwissenschaftlerin konnte ich im Studium der #DigitalHumanities schnell feststellen, dass dieses Fach (leider) noch lange nicht so stark in den DH vertreten ist wie andere. Also habe ich mich in meiner Masterarbeit mit der Schnittstelle beider Fächer beschäftigt & eine Forschungslücke gefunden. Meine Masterarbeit „Modellierung theaterinszenatorischer Merkmale in Wikidata am Beispiel von Ferdinand von Schirachs ,Terror'” ist seit gestern auf Zenodo zu finden: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.16744774
Nach einer Mittagspause wird es tierisch interessant. Tobias Perschl stellt ein Projekt zur teilautomatisierten #Auswertung von forstamtlichen Fragebögen aus Bayern nach Tierarten vor.

Ich freue mich in meinem neuen Job als Leiter des Digital Humanities Labs an der Uni Hamburg auf viele neue Begegnungen (und alte Bekannte), spannende neue Projekte, DH-Lehre, DH-Forschung, Kooperationen und natürlich mein geliebtes Hambuuuurch
Zum Dienstbeginn gibt es nun direkt auch ein Interview mit mir: https://www.gw.uni-hamburg.de/ueber-die-fakultaet/aktuelles/2025/08-04-interview-dh-lab-horstmann.html
In my field, #DigitalHumanities, MDPI is a very minor player. A healthy ecosystem of #DiamondOA exists, alongside a small number of #GoldOA options other than MDPI.
The journal I help run, @jcls, is also DiamondOA and entirely scholar-led. While we are recent and small, we are very happy with international uptake and quality of submissions.
I also help run a DH collection on ORE, and it is doing ok but not great, I guess.
Well, it's summer, so we extended the deadline: if you are thinking about a cool #DH project for a #PhD thesis, apply at https://jobs.uni-graz.at/de/jobs/3897bb8f-e572-9c0c-00a5-685a89640e86 #jobs #digitalhumanities #unigraz #graz #austria
For those of us in the humanities, the last 20 years have often felt like a siege. But maybe we’ve reached a nadir. Here are a few links that may provide a needed boost for the new semester.

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:
