    This volume is based on the selected papers presented at the Workshop on Scholarly Digital Editions, Graph Data-Models and Semantic Web Technologies, held at the Uni- versity of Lausanne in June 2019. The Workshop was organized by Elena Spadini (University of Lausanne) and Francesca Tomasi (University of Bologna), and spon- sored by the Swiss National Science Foundation through a Scientific Exchange grant, and by the Centre de recherche sur les lettres romandes of the University of Lausanne. The Workshop comprised two full days of vibrant discussions among the invited speakers, the authors of the selected papers, and other participants.1 The acceptance rate following the open call for papers was around 60%. All authors – both selected and invited speakers – were asked to provide a short paper two months before the Workshop. The authors were then paired up, and each pair exchanged papers. Paired authors prepared questions for one another, which were to be addressed during the talks at the Workshop; in this way, conversations started well before the Workshop itself. After the Workshop, the papers underwent a second round of peer-review before inclusion in this volume. This time, the relevance of the papers was not under discus- sion, but reviewers were asked to appraise specific aspects of each contribution, such as its originality or level of innovation, its methodological accuracy and knowledge of the literature, as well as more formal parameters such as completeness, clarity, and coherence. The bibliography of all of the papers is collected in the public Zotero group library GraphSDE20192, which has been used to generate the reference list for each contribution in this volume. The invited speakers came from a wide range of backgrounds (academic, commer- cial, and research institutions) and represented the different actors involved in the remediation of our cultural heritage in the form of graphs and/or in a semantic web en- vironment. Georg Vogeler (University of Graz) and Ronald Haentjens Dekker (Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences, Humanities Cluster) brought the Digital Humanities research perspective; the work of Hans Cools and Roberta Laura Padlina (University of Basel, National Infrastructure for Editions), as well as of Tobias Schweizer and Sepi- deh Alassi (University of Basel, Digital Humanities Lab), focused on infrastructural challenges and the development of conceptual and software frameworks to support re- searchers’ needs; Michele Pasin’s contribution (Digital Science, Springer Nature) was informed by his experiences in both academic research, and in commercial technology companies that provide services for the scientific community. The Workshop featured not only the papers of the selected authors and of the invited speakers, but also moments of discussion between interested participants. In addition to the common Q&A time, during the second day one entire session was allocated to working groups delving into topics that had emerged during the Workshop. Four working groups were created, with four to seven participants each, and each group presented a short report at the end of the session. Four themes were discussed: enhancing TEI from documents to data; ontologies for the Humanities; tools and infrastructures; and textual criticism. All of these themes are represented in this volume. The Workshop would not have been of such high quality without the support of the members of its scientific committee: Gioele Barabucci, Fabio Ciotti, Claire Clivaz, Marion Rivoal, Greta Franzini, Simon Gabay, Daniel Maggetti, Frederike Neuber, Elena Pierazzo, Davide Picca, Michael Piotrowski, Matteo Romanello, Maïeul Rouquette, Elena Spadini, Francesca Tomasi, Aris Xanthos – and, of course, the support of all the colleagues and administrative staff in Lausanne, who helped the Workshop to become a reality. The final versions of these papers underwent a single-blind peer review process. We want to thank the reviewers: Helena Bermudez Sabel, Arianna Ciula, Marilena Daquino, Richard Hadden, Daniel Jeller, Tiziana Mancinelli, Davide Picca, Michael Piotrowski, Patrick Sahle, Raffaele Viglianti, Joris van Zundert, and others who preferred not to be named personally. Your input enhanced the quality of the volume significantly! It is sad news that Hans Cools passed away during the production of the volume. We are proud to document a recent state of his work and will miss him and his ability to implement the vision of a digital scholarly edition based on graph data-models and semantic web technologies. The production of the volume would not have been possible without the thorough copy-editing and proof reading by Lucy Emmerson and the support of the IDE team, in particular Bernhard Assmann, the TeX-master himself. This volume is sponsored by the University of Bologna and by the University of Lausanne. Bologna, Lausanne, Graz, July 2021 Francesca Tomasi, Elena Spadini, Georg Vogele

    UIDB/00417/2020 UIDP/00417/2020No seguimento da Conferência Internacional sobre Arte, Museus e Culturas Digitais (Abril 2021), este e-book pretende aprofundar a discussão sobre o conceito de mudança, geralmente associado à relação entre cultura e tecnologia. Através dos contributos de 32 autores, de 12 países, questiona-se não só a forma como o digital tem motivado novas práticas artísticas e curatoriais, mas também o inverso, observando como propostas críticas e criativas no campo da arte e dos museus têm aberto vias alternativas para o desenvolvimento tecnológico. Assumindo a diversidade de perspectivas sobre o tema, de leituras retrospectivas à análise de questões e projectos recentes, o livro estrutura-se em torno de sete capítulos e um ensaio visual, evidenciando os territórios de colaboração e cruzamento entre diferentes áreas de conhecimento científico. Disponível em acesso aberto, esta publicação resulta de um projecto colaborativo promovido pelo Instituto de História da Arte, Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa e pelo maat – Museu de Arte, Arquitectura e Tecnologia. Instituição parceira: Instituto Superior Técnico. Mecenas: Fundação Millennium bcp. Media partner: revista Umbigo. Following the International Conference on Art, Museums and Digital Cultures (April 2021), this e-book seeks to extend the discussion on the concept of change that is usually associated with the relationship between culture and technology. Through the contributions of 32 authors from 12 countries, the book not only questions how digital media have inspired new artistic and curatorial practices, but also how, conversely, critical and creative proposals in the fields of art and museums have opened up alternative paths to technological development. Acknowledging the different approaches to the topic, ranging from retrospective readings to the analysis of recent issues and projects, the book is divided into seven sections and a visual essay, highlighting collaborative territories and the crossovers between different areas of scientific knowledge. Available in open access, this publication is the result of a collaborative project promoted by the Institute of Art History of the School of Social Sciences and Humanities, NOVA University of Lisbon and maat – Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology.

    SciKGTeX - A LATEX Package to Semantically Annotate Contributions in Scientific Publications

    Get PDF
    The continuously increasing output of published research makes the work of researchers harder as it becomes impossible to keep track of and compare the most recent advances in a field. Scientific knowledge graphs have been proposed as a solution to structure the content of research publications in a machine-readable way and enable more efficient, computer-assisted workflows for many research activities. Crowdsourcing approaches are used frequently to build and maintain such scientific knowledge graphs. Researchers are motivated to contribute to these crowdsourcing efforts as they want their work to be included in the knowledge graphs and benefit from applications built on top of them. To contribute to scientific knowledge graphs, researchers need simple and easy-to-use solutions to generate new knowledge graph elements and establish the practice of semantic representations in scientific communication. In this thesis, I present SciKGTeX, a LATEX package to semantically annotate scientific contributions at the time of document creation. The LATEX package allows authors of scientific publications to mark the main contributions such as the background, research problem, method, results and conclusion of their work directly in LATEX source files. The package then automatically embeds them as metadata into the generated PDF document. In addition to the package, I document a user evaluation with 26 participants which I conducted to assess the usability and feasibility of the solution. The analysis of the evaluation results shows that SciKGTeX is highly usable with a score of 79 out of 100 on the System Usability Scale. Furthermore, the study showed that the functionalities of the package can be picked up very quickly by the study participants which only needed 7 minutes on average to annotate the main contributions on a sample abstract of a published paper. SciKGTeX demonstrates a new way to generate structured metadata for the key contributions of research publications and embed them into PDF files at the time of document creation

    ‘Proveniência’ na terminografia arquivística de língua portuguesa: prospeção e visualização de (dis)similaridades em termos e definições

    Get PDF
    Este artículo se centra en el término ‘proveniência’ (procedencia), basado en la terminología archivística publicada en Portugal y Brasil (1986-2013). Se analiza la similitud/disimilitud entre las entradas terminológicas y las definiciones basadas en un corpus diacrónico. Se utilizó un enfoque semasiológico utilizando técnicas básicas de minería de texto y métodos de agrupamiento de texto con una visualización en árbol. El término 'proveniência' ocurre en 71 (a partir de 2760) entradas y aparecen estructuras monolexemáticas o polilexemáticas. Este trabajo muestra que no existe reutilización terminológica entre estos países homófonos en cada uno de los instrumentos terminológicos analizados.This paper focuses on the term ‘proveniência’ (provenance), based on the Portuguese archival terminography published in Portugal and Brazil (1986-2013). We analyze similarity/dissimilarity between terminological entries and definitions based on diachronic corpora. We used a semasiological approach using basic text mining techniques and text clustering methods with a dendrific visualization. The term ‘proveniência’ occurs in 71 (from 2760) entries and they appear either monolexematic or polylexematic structures. This paper shows that terminological reutilization doesn’t exist between these homophone countries in each terminographical instruments analyzed.Este artigo estuda o termo ‘proveniência’ com base na terminografia arquivística publicada em Portugal e no Brasil (1986-2013). Analisam-se ocorrências do termo ‘proveniência’ em entradas terminológicas e definições com o objetivo de identificar relações de similaridade/dissimilaridade em datasets. Adota-se uma abordagem semasiológica baseada em corpora diacrónicos com recurso a ferramentas de prospeção de dados textuais. Das 2760 entradas terminológicas, o termo ‘proveniência’ ocorre em 71, manifestando-se quer de forma monolexemática quer polilexemática.

    Building information modeling – A game changer for interoperability and a chance for digital preservation of architectural data?

    Get PDF
    Digital data associated with the architectural design-andconstruction process is an essential resource alongside -and even past- the lifecycle of the construction object it describes. Despite this, digital architectural data remains to be largely neglected in digital preservation research – and vice versa, digital preservation is so far neglected in the design-and-construction process. In the last 5 years, Building Information Modeling (BIM) has seen a growing adoption in the architecture and construction domains, marking a large step towards much needed interoperability. The open standard IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) is one way in which data is exchanged in BIM processes. This paper presents a first digital preservation based look at BIM processes, highlighting the history and adoption of the methods as well as the open file format standard IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) as one way to store and preserve BIM data
