Call for Papers
DH-CASE 2013

Workshop: Collaborative Annotations in Shared 
Environments: metadata, vocabularies and 
techniques in the Digital Humanities (DH-CASE)
Venue: Co-located with DocEng 2013, Florence
Date: September 10, 2013
Web page: http://www.cs.unibo.it/dh-case/

1. Abstract
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.
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.
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).
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.

2. Topics
In detail, the focus of the workshop will be on:
- Multi-level annotations in textual corpora
- Collaborative platforms for digital text annotation and existent solutions
- The metadata dialogue: crosswalk in annotating digital textual resources
- Annotation and markup in the humanities: techniques and technologies
- Linked data and Cultural Heritage: 
possibilities and perspectives in the interchange 
between digital/textual annotated objects
- What is a text? The differing interpretations 
of what constitutes a text within different DH communities
- OAC. The Open Annotation Collaboration. Utility 
and case studies in the DH domain
- Archives, Libraries and Museums. The DH role 
and approach to cultural heritage
- Annotation and ownership: Annotation in a cross-community context

3. Submissions
