An archive aggregator
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008 | laura mandell
I’ve been working along with a great group of people at Virginia on NINES, and now, Bob Markley at Illinois and I will be working with UVA to start an 18th-century version. NINES peer-reviews and aggregates digital archives, taking their metadata in along with marc-record and journal-article metadata to create a comprehensive research environment. I just recently put some movies online about NINES and 18thConnect:
unixgen.muohio.edu/~poetess/NINES
unixgen.muohio.edu/~poetess/NINES/18thConnect.html
I am also really interested in Games as modes of learning, along with Trevor Owens; a group of us at Miami are working to develop a Humanities-Methods game:
wiki.lib.muohio.edu/literature/index.php/Going_Public
(another movie: unixgen.muohio.edu/~poetess/digHum.html)
I am currently working on ways of visualizing texts and archival data in order to know more about them, but I’m interested in joining up with people to explore their interests (TEI, XSL, databases, whatever).

Count me in for texts and TEI (which I need to know more about).

I’d really like the idea of a session on generating visualizations out of textual collections.

[…] and visualization to support inference. Some clear connections here are Laura Mandell’s Archive Aggregator, Jeanne Kramer-Smyth’s Visualizing Aggregated Data, Tom Scheinfeldt’s Challenges to […]
