Sonic heritage: listening to the past
History is so often told through objects, images and photographs, but the potential of sounds to reveal place and space is often neglected. Our research project ‘Sonic Palimpsest’1 explores the potential of sound to evoke impressions and new understandings of the past, to embrace the sonic as a tool to understand what was, in a way that can complement and add to our predominant visual understandings. Our work includes the expansion of the Oral History archives held at Chatham Dockyard to include women’s voices and experiences, and the creation of sonic works to engage the public with their heritage. Our research highlights the social and cultural value of oral history and field recordings in the transmission of knowledge to both researchers and the public. Together these recordings document how buildings and spaces within the dockyard were used and experienced by those who worked there. We can begin to understand the social and cultural roles of these buildings within the community, both past and present
Situating Data: Inquiries in Algorithmic Culture
Taking up the challenges of the datafication of culture, as well as of the scholarship of cultural inquiry itself, this collection contributes to the critical debate about data and algorithms. How can we understand the quality and significance of current socio-technical transformations that result from datafication and algorithmization? How can we explore the changing conditions and contours for living within such new and changing frameworks? How can, or should we, think and act within, but also in response to these conditions? This collection brings together various perspectives on the datafication and algorithmization of culture from debates and disciplines within the field of cultural inquiry, specifically (new) media studies, game studies, urban studies, screen studies, and gender and postcolonial studies. It proposes conceptual and methodological directions for exploring where, when, and how data and algorithms (re)shape cultural practices, create (in)justice, and (co)produce knowledge
Geographic information extraction from texts
A large volume of unstructured texts, containing valuable geographic information, is available online. This information – provided implicitly or explicitly – is useful not only for scientific studies (e.g., spatial humanities) but also for many practical applications (e.g., geographic information retrieval). Although large progress has been achieved in geographic information extraction from texts, there are still unsolved challenges and issues, ranging from methods, systems, and data, to applications and privacy. Therefore, this workshop will provide a timely opportunity to discuss the recent advances, new ideas, and concepts but also identify research gaps in geographic information extraction
METROPOLITAN ENCHANTMENT AND DISENCHANTMENT. METROPOLITAN ANTHROPOLOGY FOR THE CONTEMPORARY LIVING MAP CONSTRUCTION
We can no longer interpret the contemporary metropolis as we did in the last century. The thought of civil economy regarding the contemporary Metropolis conflicts more or less radically with the merely acquisitive dimension of the behaviour of its citizens. What is needed is therefore a new capacity for
imagining the economic-productive future of the city: hybrid social enterprises, economically sustainable, structured and capable of using technologies, could be a solution for producing value and distributing it fairly and inclusively.
Metropolitan Urbanity is another issue to establish. Metropolis needs new spaces where inclusion can occur, and where a repository of the imagery can be recreated. What is the ontology behind the technique of metropolitan planning and management, its vision and its symbols? Competitiveness,
speed, and meritocracy are political words, not technical ones. Metropolitan Urbanity is the characteristic of a polis that expresses itself in its public places. Today, however, public places are private ones that are destined for public use. The Common Good has always had a space of representation in the city, which was the public space. Today, the Green-Grey Infrastructure is the metropolitan city's monument that communicates a value for future generations and must therefore be recognised and imagined; it is the production of the metropolitan symbolic imagery, the new magic of the city
The Archive Query Log: Mining Millions of Search Result Pages of Hundreds of Search Engines from 25 Years of Web Archives
The Archive Query Log (AQL) is a previously unused, comprehensive query log
collected at the Internet Archive over the last 25 years. Its first version
includes 356 million queries, 166 million search result pages, and 1.7 billion
search results across 550 search providers. Although many query logs have been
studied in the literature, the search providers that own them generally do not
publish their logs to protect user privacy and vital business data. Of the few
query logs publicly available, none combines size, scope, and diversity. The
AQL is the first to do so, enabling research on new retrieval models and
(diachronic) search engine analyses. Provided in a privacy-preserving manner,
it promotes open research as well as more transparency and accountability in
the search industry.Comment: SIGIR 2023 resource paper, 13 page
YEARBOOK 2019/2020. Arts Museology and Curatorship
Yearbook is the first collection of AMaC’s student projects developed during the first two years of the course. AMaC is a Master’s degree in Arts, Museology and Curatorship with a clear mission: to educate and train professionals with creative and research skills essential to developing successful arts and cultural heritage strategies. This broad and demanding field requires an engagement with the current debate on common goods, the identity of communities, access to heritage art, and the impact of the arts on society
Suche und Relevanz in digitalen wissenschaftlichen Sammlungen - Eine Untersuchung zu Suchstrategien, Auswahlverhalten und Digital Literacy von Historiker*innen
Informationssuche und -bewertung sind ein wesentlicher Teil des wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens. Während bestimmte Systeme und Sammlungen, wie Suchmaschinen oder Bibliothekskataloge, von Wissenschaftler:innen verschiedener Disziplinen genutzt werden, spielen für Historiker:innen historische Quellen eine besondere Rolle. Schriftliche Quellen wie Manuskripte, Urkunden, Tagebücher oder Inschriften sind zunehmend und teils exklusiv in digitalen wissenschaftlichen Sammlungen online verfügbar. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, das Suchverhalten und die Ergebnisauswahl von Wissenschaftler:innen zu untersuchen. Die zentrale Fragestellung ist, wie Nutzer:innen von wissenschaftlichen Recherchesystemen im Zuge ihrer Suche zu relevanten Ergebnissen gelangen. Dabei wird die Informationssuche im Kontext der Fachdomäne, der spezifischen, auch längerfristigen, Informationsbedarfe und der digitalen Kompetenzen betrachtet. Neben der Gestaltung von Interface, Such- und Browsing-Funktionalitäten und visuellen Zugängen spielt auch das Ranking für einen effektiven Zugriff auf die Inhalte der Sammlungen eine Rolle. Ein Ranking nach Relevanz ist das zentrale Kriterium für die Ergebnissortierung im Web. Nicht nur in Web-Suchmaschinen, auch in Bibliothekskatalogen und anderen wissenschaftlichen Suchmaschinen findet Relevanzranking vielfach Anwendung. Oft geschieht dies jedoch ohne eine konkrete Definition dessen, was unter Relevanz verstanden wird und ohne Transparenz darüber, welche Parameter dabei systemseitig zum Einsatz kommen. Die digitale Veröffentlichung erleichtert nicht nur den Zugriff, sondern bedeutet für die bereitstellenden Institutionen auch die Verpflichtung, es den Nutzer:innen zu ermöglichen, auf die Inhalte effektiv und dauerhaft zugreifen zu können. Notwendig ist also die Gestaltung von Sammlungen, die sowohl Aspekte des wissenschaftlichen Arbeitsprozesses, der Quellenkritik und deren Wandel vor dem Hintergrund der digitalen Transformation als auch Bedarfe und Vorgehensweisen der Nutzer:innen berücksichtigt. Daher nähert sich die vorliegende Arbeit dem Thema von zwei Seiten an: einerseits anhand der Forschungsliteratur zu etablierten Modellen der Suche, des wissenschaftlichen Arbeitsprozesses, zu Studien und Evaluierungen von Informationssuche und Ergebnisauswahl und andererseits anhand einer empirischen Untersuchung der Informationssuche von Historiker:innen. Durch diesen Ansatz können Bewertung und Auswahl von Informationen und die digitale Quellenkritik sowohl in den theoretischen Grundlagen und im Forschungsstand verankert als auch anhand einer konkreten Gruppe von Nutzer:innen im Kontext von spezifischen Informationsbedürfnissen, Problemen und Vorgehensweisen betrachtet werden. Die vorliegende Untersuchung soll einen Beitrag zum Verständnis der digital gestützten Suche von Wissenschaftler:innen leisten, sie im wissenschaftlichen Arbeitsprozess verorten und zu einem besseren Verständnis der zugrunde liegenden Auswahlkriterien und so auch zu einer besseren Nutzbarkeit von wissenschaftlichen Sammlungen beitragen
