This session on digital pedagogy is completely option.

]]> Comment on The Politics of Big Data by ehealey http://kansas2011.thatcamp.org/09/19/the-politics-of-big-data/#comment-87 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 00:15:00 +0000 http://kansas2011.thatcamp.org/?p=415#comment-87 Hi Stewart,

This is a question that interests me too! I’m not sure that I have concrete information to add, but I’m also interested in the theoretical issues here. There was a lot of talk (pro and con) about Google Books’ Ngram Viewer last winter, and I’m curious to know if it offers scholars anything beyond a few minutes’ entertainment. I’m also curious to hear more about what type of data mining (if any) scholars think can/should be done using Google Books or other major corpora of texts. How fearful should we be of inaccurate metadata, loss of context, and OCR errors that result in statistically significant omissions? Elspeth

]]> Comment on Technology and programming languages for DH projects by Scott Hanrath http://kansas2011.thatcamp.org/09/19/technology-and-programming-languages-for-dh-projects/#comment-79 Mon, 19 Sep 2011 22:46:27 +0000 http://kansas2011.thatcamp.org/?p=445#comment-79 I’ve also been thinking about dipping into the NoSQL waters. I don’t have practical experiences to share, but a general discussion of how and where NoSQL is advantageous would be of interest to me.

Along the Linked Data line, I’d be interested in real or potenial uses of things like Freebase(http://wiki.freebase.com/wiki/Developers), dbPedia (dbpedia.org/About), or the NY Times LOD (data.nytimes.com/, data.nytimes.com/86910677781001313522) to enrich DH projects.

Great question! Please see the post on parking available at kansas2011.thatcamp.org/09/19/parking-on-campus/. The short answer is that we recommend you park at the Mississippi St. Garage on Thursday and Friday. The fee for parking there is $1.25 / hour.

They somehow didn’t make it into my calendar, and I think I might I be double booked Thursday morning.

Thanks!

So, yeah, I vote for this.

]]> Comment on Scholarly Repositories and the Humanities by Mackenzie Brooks http://kansas2011.thatcamp.org/09/17/scholarly-repositories-and-the-humanities/#comment-71 Mon, 19 Sep 2011 01:20:41 +0000 http://kansas2011.thatcamp.org/?p=344#comment-71 I will have to check out these sites more in depth, but these are interesting questions especially in light of the growing trend for academic libraries to build institutional repositories. Would libraries use these personal repositories in place of an institutional one, if perhaps the support wasn’t there? How are institutional repositories succeeding and being used once they’ve gotten the support to be built?

I’m a fan of Alcott, though I haven’t studied her extensively at all. It would be great to have a resource that could highlight her other work outside of Little Women.

Are these kinds of hybrid tools useful for humanities scholars or is this level of collaboration even desirable?

The National Gallery of Art has several outstanding examples of this genre. Online art exhibts bring national exhibts to rural areas and make for an excellent use of taxpayer money; they are a useful way to make use of digital humanities research and work.

It does a great job of bringing together scattered resources, and I believe they even post a sort of manual on how they did it. Any subject could have something similar . . . someday.

You make it sound so much fun and attractive. Would love to attend. Well done, as we say in Nigeria!
