DCU at DH2016, Krakow

Date: 2016-07-22

The Digital Humanities community met once again at the Digital Humanities Conference, held this year in Krakow, on 11-15 July. This year, the Digital Curation Unit participated in the conference with a workshop, two long papers and four posters.

NeMO, the ontology for digital research methods in the arts and humanities developed in the context of the NeDiMAH project, was the focus of many DCU submissions. The workshop “Ontology-Based Recording and Discovery of Research Patterns in the Humanities”, by P. Constantopoulos, C. Dallas, L.Hughes and S. Ross, aimed at engaging the participants in the process of developing and analyzing ontology-based, structured documentations of scholarly research practices, predominantly those in the (digital) humanities. Based on NeMO, participants were invited to contribute one or more examples of their own research work. Those were used in order to produce structured descriptions, explore the formulation of complex associative queries and share feedback regarding their experience from using NeMO.

Apart from the workshop, DCU participated in DH2016 with the following papers and posters:
