His lecture will concentrate on: DiMPO, the Digital Methods and Practices Observatory Working Group of DARIAH, the Digital Research Infrastructure in the Arts and Humanities, aims to provide evidence-based , timely and useful information and insight on the scholarly practices, needs and attitudes of European humanities researchers working in the digital environment. For this purpose, it conducts literature review, questionnaire survey, qualitative and domain modeling research on the activities, methods and digital infrastructures developed and used for humanities research. More than a dozen DARIAH researchers from Austria, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom already participate in DiMPO activities. Its 2015 online questionnaire survey attracted 2,177 respondents from across Europe, and DiMPO seeks actively to expand its reach in the new launch of the survey planned for 2020. Its work on conceptual modeling of scholarly activity led to the development of the NeDIMAH Methods Ontology (NeMO), a formal specification for the conceptualization and documentation of scholarly methods and activities of researchers in the digital environment which integrates a consensus taxonomy of digital scholarly methods. DiMPO is currently working on a project to collect and document qualitative evidence on digitally-enabled humanities work across Europe through mutliple-case studies and qualitative intrerviewing. After a brief introduction to DARIAH, this presentation presents the objectives, activities and workplan of DiMPO, situating them methodologically in the context of the study of scholarly work and digital infrastructures requirements analysis.
The workshop is part of the 2day digital humanities seminar at the NTNU University Library and Gunnerus Library in Trondheim on November 1–2. The event is aimed at graduate students and research staff, both from the university and the libraries and focuses on research practices and tools for digital humanities.
The morning of day 1 will be dedicated to talks from internationally renowned Digital Humanities practitioners on topics like policy making, EdTech, and infrastructure. The second half of the day offers six parallel workshops more here
S6: Writing And Publishing On The Web Together Using Github : a workshop on GitHub as a source of software, scripts, and programs. The workshop will concentrate on the various aspects as such:
* GitHub can also be used to work on text documents?
* GitHub enables collaboration on documents and software entirely through the web interface?
* you can create a simple webpage with a few clicks through GitHub?
* you don’t need any knowledge of the command-line version control tool ‘git’ to do all this?
This course will teach you how to do all these things, and more. The seminar is aimed at graduate students, researchers and librarians, and tailored towards those with very little to no experience in the subjects taught. Experience with git or GitHub or similar services is not necessary. Time permitting, at the end of the workshop those interested can learn how to do the same operations using command line ‘git’.
