1. Abstract<br>
In the last few years, collections of digital text have strongly
increased in number, especially in the field of humanities. Digital
libraries of full-text documents, including digital editions of literary
texts, are emerging as environments for the production, the management
and the dissemination of complex annotated corpora.<br>
The potential interpretative levels emerging from the analysis of textual
phenomena (including bibliographic, linguistic, thematic, structural,
rhetorical and prosopographic aspects) converge to produce a
stratification of annotations whose complex interactions may give light
to new and unexpected potentials for analysis.<br>
Yet, each community in the field of humanities (archives, libraries,
museums, literary studies, etc.) have developed independent metadata
models and annotation techniques for their corpora. In a shared
environment, the possibility to annotate different aspects of a text
overlaps with metadata models and ontologies used for annotation (i.e.
TEI, EAD/EAC, CIDOC-CRM, DC, FRBR, SKOS, etc.) and related values
vocabularies (i.e. DDC, Geonames, LC, VIAF, Wordnet, Dbpedia) but also
with techniques for producing annotations, both with embedded or
stand-off markup methods based on XML or other formal languages possibly
even in a linked data perspective (OWL/RDF).<br>
The aim of this workshop is to explore the state of art in the field of
collaboration in text annotation and to reflect on existing platforms for
document sharing and management, methods and techniques for multi-level
annotation, metadata and vocabularies for declaring interpretative
instances.<br>
<br>
2. Topics<br>
In detail, the focus of the workshop will be on: <br>
- Multi-level annotations in textual corpora<br>
- Collaborative platforms for digital text annotation and existent
solutions<br>
- The metadata dialogue: crosswalk in annotating digital textual
resources<br>
- Annotation and markup in the humanities: techniques and
technologies<br>
- Linked data and Cultural Heritage: possibilities and perspectives in
the interchange between digital/textual annotated objects<br>
- What is a text? The differing interpretations of what constitutes a
text within different DH communities<br>
- OAC. The Open Annotation Collaboration. Utility and case studies in the
DH domain<br>
- Archives, Libraries and Museums. The DH role and approach to cultural
heritage<br>
- Annotation and ownership: Annotation in a cross-community context<br>
<br>
