The Petőfi Literary Museum’s Digital Humanities Centre, established last year, is in the process of creating a digital humanities platform, dHUpla. One of its sub-areas is the planning of the management of born digital materials. The development of a procedure for born digital materials is an urgent need: in addition to the existing collection items in the PIM, it is expected that in the future more and more content of this kind will be created, which will need to be managed professionally. The presentation will describe the research work carried out and the details of the workflow that is being outlined. It will present the workflow developed on the basis of the OAIS model, which covers the process from ingestion of such material to making it searchable and publishable. It covers not only the more manageable text file formats of born digital content, but also the more difficult tasks of emails or social media sites, and how to professionally extract and archive data from external media.

This miscellaneous volume in honour of Paolo Mastandrea includes contributions by colleagues and friends dealing with some of the main topics of his scientific interests: intertextuality, late Latin studies, philological problems, the legacy of Classics in Renaissance, digital humanities. The first section, «Literary History and Intertextuality», focuses on special patterns in Latin literature within a very wide chronological range, from Vergil to Optatianus. Specific attention is dedicated to elegy and to mythological characters in elegy and tragedy. The section named «Philological Notes» deals with critical problems within texts by Sallustius, Macrobius and Historia Augusta. The following section, «Late Latin studies», is dedicated to several authors and topics: Simphosius’ Aenigmata, Sidonius, Historia Augusta, Claudianus, Epigrammata Bobiensia, Johannes Lydus and literary topoi used in late Latin texts. The final one, «Classical Reception Studies», examines a few examples of the legacy of Latin authors in the Italian Renaissance. A history of the database Musisque Deoque, along with the future perspectives of this crucial project designed in 2005 by Paolo Mastandrea, are provided in a specific «Appendix».

The future is plural. We see our present as a fulcrum, with a plethora of possible pivots, providing us with a chance to steer the futures of special collections libraries and archives. With the 2012 RBMS Preconference—Futures!—we endeavored to explore some of these possibilities, and we used the plural in our title to emphasize the many potential paths our libraries and archives might take. The preconference’s plenary sessions focused on three components of special collections libraries and archives work: Matthew Kirschenbaum and Bethany Nowviskie explored how digital humanities and special collections inform the work of the other; Jon . . .

Practical Implications

Purpose This study aims to reflect on the past and prospects of digital Korean studies. Design/methodology/approach Discussion includes the remarkably early adoption of computing in the Korean humanities, the astounding pace in which Korean heritage materials have been digitized, and the challenges of balancing artisanal and laboratory approaches to digital research. Findings The main takeaway is to reconsider the widespread tendency in the digital humanities to privilege frequentist analysis and macro-level perspectives. Practical implications Cha hopes to discover the future of digital Korean studies in semantic networks, graph databases and anthropological inquiries. Originality/value Cha reconsiders existing tendencies in the digital humanities and looks to the future of digital Korean studies.

Ideas And Institutions

This article illustrates the value and impact of collaboration among scholars, archivists, and librarians working across universities and government institutions, and how changes in medium—from a born-physical photograph and printed postcard to a digital reproduction to a simultaneously born-digital and printed book—create new possibilities for scholarly analysis, interpretation, and dissemination, which in turn suggest future directions for research and engagement across fields of inquiry. In doing so, this article argues that history matters by illuminating past networks that, through humanistic inquiry, continue to connect people, ideas, and institutions in the present and into the future.

Gaining Insight

Purpose This paper aims to determine if the digital humanities technique of topic modeling would reveal interesting patterns in a corpus of library-themed literature focused on the future of libraries and pioneer a collaboration model in librarian-led digital humanities projects. By developing the project, librarians learned how to better support digital humanities by actually doing digital humanities, as well as gaining insight on the variety of approaches taken by researchers and commenters to the idea of the future of libraries. Design/methodology/approach The researchers collected a corpus of over 150 texts (articles, blog posts, book chapters, websites, etc.) that all addressed the future of the library. They ran several instances of latent Dirichlet allocation style topic modeling on the corpus using the programming language R. Once they produced a run in which the topics were cohesive and discrete, they produced word-clouds of the words associated with each topic, visualized topics through time and examined in detail the top five documents associated with each topic. Findings The research project provided an effective way for librarians to gain practical experience in digital humanities and develop a greater understanding of collaborative workflows in digital humanities. By examining a corpus of library-themed literature, the researchers gained new insight into how the profession grapples with the idea of the future and an appreciation for topic modeling as a form of literature review. Originality/value Topic modeling a future-themed corpus of library literature is a unique research project and provides a way to support collaboration between library faculty and researchers from outside the library.
