Studies in the humanities are increasingly incorporating methods from information theory, which are based on dynamics in word usage and measures of relative entropy. This paper uses windowed relative entropy to thematic text representations to generate signals that capture information novelty and resonance and, aggregated on the actor-level, shed light on the innovators of the past. Comparing early modern chronicles and twentieth-century parliamentary debate we aim to investigate several dimensions of innovation in historical language records.

MemoRekall is a free and open-source web app to annotate a video enhanced by adding notes, documents, or web links. Originally conceived for the preservation and documentation of performing arts, two European citizen science projects (COSMIC and COESO) lead to broaden its uses and develop new functionalities. Both projects share the same methodological approach, based on action research and co-design. This paper will present this co-construction methodology, at the heart of MemoRekall's development from the outset, how it impacted the two new versions of MemoRekall, and its contribution to the study of collaboration in the context of citizen science projects.

At present there is no way to search the corpus of Greek papyri for lemmas, or to search for specific grammatical forms of a word. Much less is there a way to search for examples of a grammatical category. Polyphemus comes to solve these shortcomings, and some more. For this purpose we have processed all the papyrus texts from PapyInfo (). This processing is done at the same time as the processing that results in the Callimachus database, which we also present at this DH Congress Congress. I summarize below the procedure by which we obtain our database Polyphemus. A) First we analyze each line of papyrus and differentiate the actual full words from the gaps or non-textual elements. B) Then we identify the complete words and separate them from the fragments. This can sometimes be done because of the editorial criteria used in the original edition, before digitizing. Other times it is necessary to check if the text meets some of the external qualities that define a word in ancient Greek (presence of accentuation, etc.). C) We then proceed to lemmatize each of the words, and determine to which part of speech it corresponds, and what is its morphological analysis. All this is done with the help of the Madrid list, which I will discuss below. For text fragments (incomplete words), we try to see if they can be ascribed to a root. We also separate proper nouns from common nouns. D) Lemma assignment and POS-tagging is performed in two phases. In a first pass we tag the forms with the highest frequency of occurrence. We calculate this from the frequency with which lexical forms were tagged in several manually annotated treebanks (over 700,000 words). We then go on to label all the remaining forms using the Madrid Wordlist. The Madrid Wordlist incorporates information about the dialect in which a form appears, so in case of multiple possible analyses we prefer those belonging to Koine (the Greek form of Papyri Greek) or Attic Greek. Naturally this procedure has the consequence that we reduce the number of multiple analyses for the same form (thus drastically reducing the number of false positives) in exchange for losing the correct POS- tagging for low-frequency forms that coincide with high-frequency ones. E) All this information is transferred to a SQL database, and put in relation with the data on the papyri that we have obtained when creating the Callimachus database. In this way, for each lexical form we obtain a lemma, a non-disambiguated morphological analysis, and a translation or gloss. Each of these parameters can be searched in combination with the more than fifty categories available to us thanks to Callimachus, such as date, origin, category, extension, subject, etc. To date, we have been able to analyze 97% of the complete words, including proper names, which are very numerous. 4. The Madrid Ancient Greek Word List The lemmatization and analysis in Parts Of Speech (POS tagging) is performed by comparing each record in our database with the records of a word list that we have created over the last 3 years, which we have called the Madrid Ancient Greek Wordlist. Most of the Ancient Greek wordlists are evolutions, simplifications, or improvements from the Morpheus list developed by Gregory Crane between 1984 and 1990 (Crane 1991; Celano et al. 2016). Our list also starts with Morpheus, but has been enriched with our own treebank (Aristarchus Treebank, 200,000 words; cf. Riaño 2006), and almost 100,000 proper names from The Lexicon of Greek Personal Names and the Trismegistos repository of papyrological and epigraphic resources. All these data were processed to obtain morphological information. I have manually entered several hundred (mostly irregular) pronominal forms in this list. To complete this list I have processed the digital version of the Greek-English Lexicon of Liddell-Scott-Jones, and extracted all the nominal lemmas; then I have determined the declension of each one of them, and I have proceeded to decline each lemma in its Attic and Ionic form by means of a program we have developed. Then we search for each of these forms in the papyri. The program thus produces over 600,000 lexical forms (many of them already in the Morpheus list). The lemmas are then assigned a translation, or rather a gloss

Encouraging the use of the digitized materials is a complex goal that involves each - cultural heritage institutions, research funding frameworks, and researchers to some degree. These developments have led a few institutions to initiate GLAM Labs (glamlabs.io) that focus on developing the digital opportunities afforded by galleries, libraries, archives, museums. Following the role models in the international community, the National Library of Estonia has been developing a virtual lab - a portal and an interface for users to gain access and find uses to digital data. This entails keeping in mind the interests of many stakeholders - balancing the needs and opportunities for the library with the requirements for the collection user. We present the virtual lab, its tools and datasets, as launched in January 2023. We will show the journey there and the conclusions made on the basis of this. During the development, we have piloted several interface options to access text sources in bulk and share our data in multiple accessible formats. We've conducted a service design as well as a legal analysis to understand the interests of the representative members of the potential user community and how the library can respond to them. Our virtual lab has aimed to learn from the GLAM Labs in other institutions (see e.g. Mahey et al. 2019). We aim to build our user community so that the researchers get the credit due for their work, and will be offered a place to showcase their work. So that the work done in transforming and enhancing the data by the users would find its way back to the library. And that library itself would get feedback on its collections and find value in its novel potential uses. We will discuss the lessons learned during the development process. We offer access to the open textual resources among the newspapers, periodicals, and book publications 1800-2022, the data from the national bibliography, as well as a number of thematic collections built around it. Our tools include a few visualization tools and interfaces to manipulate and query the data online. And we feature a number of blog posts based on the case studies performed on our collections by students and researchers. These digital collections offer new opportunities for cultural heritage institutions as well as their visitors and users, but the process towards it requires learning from various perspectives. Through encouraged use cases, the users learn better to anticipate and benefit from what the library collections can offer, and the library can incrementally improve the resources that it can offer the users while learning about the value found in these resources. We argue that for a successful project, collaboration is key between these different actors based on their interests, and aspire to offer a good example in how this can be organized in a small community.

Eulalie is an operational, open-source, and free information system dedicated to electroacoustic music to document and preserve works. It is based on the Doremus ontology. We propose adapting this ontology to the specific field of electroacoustic music and its implementation in a database (Heurist, in dialogue with Nakala to host the documents). The project was born in the context of Art Zoyd Studios, a center for musical creation. One of the missions is to preserve the repertoire of the XXth and XXIst century pieces involving electronics. The principles of interoperability and Open Data have guided the different choices made throughout the project. Thus, it is not only possible to make the Art Zoyd Studios information database's content interact with other music resources, but the system itself, Eulalie, can be used by other institutions facing problems similar to those of Art Zoyd Studios.

Introduction Advances in computing have made it easier to produce three dimensional (3D) models of heritage material culture. Incorporating these models into virtual reality (VR) games has the potential to increase peoples engagement with other communities including those from the past. This paper examines the creation of 'Uvira's Pot' (uviras-pot.vercel.app), a prototype VR puzzle game where the user reassembles a ceramic vessel from fifteen sherds. Refitting vessels is an important archaeological technique that can provide information on the function and origin of the artefact. A broken ceramic vessel can also reveal details, such as the mineral crystals in the clay, that act as temper, and the colour of the core, which relates to firing conditions. Agarabi speakers of the Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea (PNG) were the only recorded highlanders to make pottery (Watson, 1993). In 1987, the creation of several vessels in three different highland villages was documented by Chris Ballad in field notes and photographs. Recently these notes were prepared for academic publication and the 'Uvira's Pot' application was created as an experiment in conveying this research to a less academic audience. One vessel, created by Uvira of Anonantu has unfortunately broken and this was used for the application. The time and effort spent assembling puzzles, both 2D and 3D, often connects the puzzler with the object of the puzzle, and can also lead to closer inspection of details on the object (or image) (Balabanian & Shahrabi, 2022). It is hypothesised that when reconstructing Uvira's vessel some puzzlers will become interested in how it was created and the photographs of the different steps in its creation (the chaîne opératoire) have been displayed around the virtual space. Asset Creation Digital models of the sherds were created with photogrammetry using the Polycam iPhone application (photo mode). The models, while not archival quality, were sufficient for a VR experience. The automatic model scaling, was incorrect for the smaller pieces and the models had to be normalised to sherd measurements. The colouring of at least one sherd could have been improved. To reduce the mesh polygon count, Metashape mesh decimation was used. The photo panels were made using Affinity Designer and importantly sized to have lengths and widths of pixel numbers that were a power of two. Coding VR applications can be downloaded or viewed via a webpage in a browser. The later option is more likely to attract a casual user. The Three.js JavaScript library allows for the display and manipulation of 3D models. The library has code examples that can be combined and modified to allow models to be moved with VR controllers such as those for the Quest2 (with which the application was tested). In the application the initialisation step imports the sherds and places them randomly on a grass floor. The photographs of vessel creation are in a circle around the user. With either hand controller, the user can select and move a sherd and place them together to reveal the pot form. Conclusion VR websites to convey archaeological research, can be created with minimal JavaScript experience and it should now be possible for others to modify the publicly available code (https://github.com/tosca-har) to create experiences focusing on the material culture of other regions. Phone photogrammetry applications have made asset creation much easier, although model retropology is essential. The ethics behind creating models, especially those of artefacts from communities previously exploited by colonisation, should always be considered and appropriate permissions sort. User testing protocols are currently being designed so that the ability of the application in engaging the audiences' interest in the Agarabi pottery chaîne opératoire. The creation of sites with 3D models has greatly facilitated by Three.js, thus lowering the time costs associated with site creation, and allowing for more experimentation to find puzzles that will effectively communicate the wonders of Papuan, and other, material culture.

Computational analysis that demonstrates biased representationsrelated to ethnicities has been widely covered in literature(see, for example, Garg et al. 2018, Tripodi et al. 2019, Lucy etal. 2020). Previous research in computational approaches has revealeddiachronic change of concepts in general (Tahmasebi et al.2018) and for the representation of antisemitism, in particular (Tripodiet al. 2019). However, literature that shows how local representationsof ethnic minorities change through contexts revealedin museum catalogues and metadata, how they are tagged, contextualisedand processed through museum databases, and consequentlywhat kind of knowledge is produced and/or retrieved, isrelatively scarce. In this paper we demonstrate how conceptual representationsrelated to Jews and Armenians fluctuate, dependingon where contexts related to these ethnic minorities are produced.The aim of this paper is to show how the analysis of museumcatalogues and online museum collections can reveal the differenceover geographic areas in dominating attitudes and multipleperspectives in the perception of minority cultures. We comparesearch results related to Jews and Armenians for the British Museumin London and the State Historical Museum in Moscow.The museums were chosen as they both represent an ‘imperial archive’(Barringer and Flynn 1998, p. 11, Khazanov 2000), theyhave collections that include multiple historical objects and theyare both located in capital cities for the two countries.Their onlinedigital collections produce sufficient results to analyse the representationof minorities and the perspectives of these two majormemory institutions on what is deemed an ethnic minority.

Background This short paper will look at the work of the Evolving Hands project which is undertaking three case studies ranging across document forms to demonstrate how TEI-based Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) workflows can be iteratively incorporated into curation by under-resourced cultural institutions. The case studies include materials that range from: 19th-20th century handwritten letters from the UNESCO Gertrude Bell Archive, 18th century German, 20th century French correspondence, and a range of printed materials from the 19th century onward in English and French. A joint case study converts legacy complex printed material of the Records of Early English Drama project. By covering a wide variety of periods and document forms the project has a real opportunity to foster responsible and responsive support for cultural institutions. Smaller cultural institutions often do not have the resource for the investigation of different methods in what remains a swiftly changing field of content enhancement. The short paper will introduce the project and report on the work done so far, but focus more intently on the Newcastle University Case Study on the Gertrude Bell Archive (given the limited time) and the methodologies used. Newcastle University Case Study -- The Gertude Bell Archive This case study uses Newcastle Special Collection's UNESCO Gertrude Bell Archive (http://gertrudebell.ncl.ac.uk/), which document the activities of the explorer, archaeologist, and political agent who was instrumental in establishing the Kingdom of Iraq in 1921. (Barr 2012, Bell 1927, Richmond 1937, and Dodge 2003) Bell is the subject of plays, documentaries, feature films, and recently was nominated as a BBC 20th Century Icon. (c.f. Barry 2017, Marozzi 2015, and Sluglett 2007) A separate centenary project is digitizing and cataloguing her archive of diaries, letters, and photographs. Piggybacking on that, we have trained an HTR base model of Bell’s hand and applied it to carefully-selected content which has then been enriched in Transkribus to provide rich insights into political events in 1921. We are using the Transkribus platform’s tagging feature to enhance the initial HTR transcriptions from which we generate (and then further up-convert) TEI P5 XML. The outputs from this will be displayed on the new Gertrude Bell research website, eventually alongside digital images presented using a IIIF viewer. (c.f. Kudella 2019) Bucknell University Case Study -- Scholarly Production at Scale The Bucknell case study centres on processes used across multiple discrete projects by staff with a range of digital experience. These projects represent different models for testing the HTR to TEI conversion process. Their sources are drawn from Bucknell's Special Collections and research of faculty working with archives in the US, UK, Europe, and Asia. They include scribal hands, life papers, correspondence, and semi-legible typed government files from 1700-1990 and are in English, French, German, and Maithili. This case study is directly benefiting multiple projects at the university, and this workflow is optimised for sharing with smaller cultural institutions around the world. Joint Newcastle/Bucknell Case Study -- Transforming REED Print Collections Cummings (AHRC PI) and Jakacki (NEH PI) have collaborated on a case study converting collections produced by the Records of Early English Drama (http://reed.utoronto.ca) project that has published since 1979 edited documentary records of pre-1642 performance in premodern England, Scotland and Wales. However, the semantic information provided in the print collections, through the use of special symbols and formatting, is lost in OCR. Earlier tests using HTR by Jakacki and Cummings demonstrated that these distinctions can be preserved with HTR to TEI workflows. The project is documenting shared workflows for consistent upconversion into viable materials ready to enter the REED project's digital publication workflow. (c.f Chagué et al 2022) This has the potential to be of use for all the other REED legacy print volumes (well over 20,000 pages of rich scholarly material). Project Methodology The project methodology, being based on individual case studies, takes a similar approach across different forms of work but also has intentional differences. In each case Transkribus is being used for HTR, though other providers of HTR were tested. (c.f. Stokes et al 2021) The generated text output is converted to TEI either through the basic Transkribus conversion or through standalone XSLT stylesheets. (c.f. Nockels et al 2022) However, it is the differences in methodology which are more interesting. In the Gertrude Bell case study the Transkribus Web/Lite version has been used to provide as much tagging as possible through that interface, in the Bucknell versions the desktop version has been used but additional tagging provided in Oxygen. The REED case study uses Transkribus Web/Lite and more detailed up-conversion stylesheets to protect formatting-based structures. Overall the project is documenting these workflows in easy to understand how-to guides alongside other materials such as conversion scripts to make it easier for under-resourced cultural institutions to undertake such endeavours themselves.
