Clio-Guide. Ein Handbuch zu digitalen Ressourcen für die Geschichtswissenschaften
Im Frühjahr 2016 erschien erstmals das Handbuch zu digitalen
Ressourcen für die Geschichtswissenschaft. Nur zwei Jahre später
erscheint nun eine zweite, erweiterte und aktualisierte Auflage
des Handbuchs. In der Einführung zur ersten Auflage war bereits
darauf hingewiesen worden, dass es einige thematische Lücken
gab – ein Umstand, der unvermeidlich war, angesichts der
thematischen Breite des Handbuchs – in der PDF-Version umfasst
es immerhin 1.109 Seiten. Zudem ist das Feld der digitalen
Geschichtswissenschaft schnelllebig und durch rasche
Veränderungs- und Entwicklungsprozesse gekennzeichnet. Die
Tatsache, dass die Guides intensiv genutzt werden, hat die
HerausgeberInnen motiviert, eine zweite Auflage früher als
ursprünglich geplant zu publizieren und damit zumindest einige
der inhaltlichen Lücken zu füllen.
So hat etwa Rüdiger Hohls für den Teil A „Digitale
Arbeitsformen und Techniken“ einen Guide Digital Humanities
und digitale Geschichtswissenschaften verfasst, der grundlegend in
ein Thema einführt, das zum Kontext aller Clio-Guides gehört.
Mit dem Guide Zeitungen von Astrid Blome wird in Teil B
„Sammlungen“ ein für Neuzeit- und Zeithistoriker zentraler
Quellentypus behandelt und die derzeit verfügbaren digitalen
Zugriffs- und Nutzungsoptionen umfassend vorstellt. Der Guide
Niederlande, Belgien und Luxemburg, eine Gemeinschaftsarbeit von
Ilona Riek, Markus Wegewitz, Christine Gundermann, Bernhard
Liemann und Esther Helena Arens, füllt im Teil D „Regionen“
unter den Ländern Westeuropas eine Lücke und ergänzt die
bereits vorliegenden Guides. Das in der Einführung zur ersten
Auflage angesprochene Fehlen eines Guides zur Jüdischen
Geschichte konnte mit der zweiten Auflage ebenfalls behoben
werden. Anna Menny, Miriam Rürup und Björn Siegel haben
einen umfassenden Guide Jüdische Geschichte im deutschsprachigen
Raum verfasst. Mit dem Guide Nationalsozialismus und Holocaust
von Laura Busse und Oliver Gaida liegt ein Guide zu einem für die deutsche Zeitgeschichte zentralen Thema vor. Dies gilt
in gleicher Weise für den Guide DDR von Henrik Bispinck.
Sämtliche schon vorliegenden Guides der ersten Auflage
wurden in die zweite Auflage übernommen. Für eine
umfassendere konzeptionelle Überarbeitung bestand hier kein
Anlass; es wurden in einigen Fällen formale Korrekturen
durchgeführt sowie nicht mehr gültige URLs aktualisiert und
Verweise auf nicht mehr existierende Ressourcen gelöscht.
Allen Autorinnen und Autoren sei für Ihre Arbeit herzlich
gedankt; insbesondere denjenigen, die sich der Mühe unterzogen
haben, einen neuen Guide für diese zweite Auflage zu verfassen.
Dies ist nicht selbstverständlich. Wir hoffen auf eine intensive
Rezeption aller Clio-Guides als Lohn für Ihre Mühe.

Lernen, Lehren und Forschen in einer digital geprägten Welt. Gesellschaft für Didaktik der Chemie und Physik. Jahrestagung in Aachen 2022
Die Tagung der Gesellschaft für Didaktik der Chemie und Physik (GDCP) fand vom 12. bis zum 15. September 2022 an der RWTH Aachen statt. Der vorliegende Band umfasst die ausgearbeiteten Beiträge der Teilnehmenden zum Thema: "Lernen, Lehren und Forschen in der digital geprägten Welt"
Reflektierte algorithmische Textanalyse. Interdisziplinäre(s) Arbeiten in der CRETA-Werkstatt
The Center for Reflected Text Analytics (CRETA) develops interdisciplinary mixed methods for text analytics in the research fields of the digital humanities. This volume is a collection of text analyses from specialty fields including literary studies, linguistics, the social sciences, and philosophy. It thus offers an overview of the methodology of the reflected algorithmic analysis of literary and non-literary texts
Creating Through Mind and Emotions
The texts presented in Proportion Harmonies and Identities (PHI) Creating Through Mind and Emotions were compiled to establish a multidisciplinary platform for presenting, interacting, and disseminating research. This platform also aims to foster the awareness and discussion on Creating Through Mind and Emotions, focusing on different visions relevant to Architecture, Arts and Humanities, Design and Social Sciences, and its importance and benefits for the sense of identity, both individual and communal. The idea of Creating Through Mind and Emotions has been a powerful motor for development since the Western Early Modern Age. Its theoretical and practical foundations have become the working tools of scientists, philosophers, and artists, who seek strategies and policies to accelerate the development process in different contexts
Conceptual Joining
This book explores experimental approaches to the design and construction of wooden structures in architecture, while presenting the results of an artistic research project. By using digital tools, experimental formations are created that are derived from the material logic. Selected guest contributions round up the documentation of the work processes
A Survey on User Interaction with Linked Data
Since the beginning of the Semantic Web and the coining of the term Linked Data in 2006, more than one thousand datasets with over sixteen thousand links have been published to the Linked Open Data Cloud. This rising interest is fuelled by the benefits that semantically annotated and machine-readable information can have in many systems. Alongside this growth we also observe a rise in humans creating and consuming Linked Data, and the opportunity to study and develop guidelines for tackling the new user interaction problems that arise with it. To gather information on the current solutions for modelling user interaction for these applications, we conducted a study surveying the interaction techniques provided in the state of the art of Linked Data tools and applications developed for users with no experience with Semantic Web technologies. The 18 tools reviewed are described and compared according to the interaction features provided, techniques used for visualising one instance and a set of instances, search solutions implemented, and the evaluation methods used to evaluate the proposed interaction solutions. From this review, we can conclude that researchers have started to deviate from more traditional visualisation techniques, like graph visualisations, when developing for lay users. This shows a current effort in developing Semantic Web tools to be used by lay users and motivates the documentation and formalisation of the solutions encountered in the studied tools.

Literary Translation, Reception, and Transfer
The three concepts mentioned in the title of this book refer to different forms of contact between two or more literary phenomena. Transfer, reception, and translation studies all imply the ‘travelling’ and the imitation or adaptation of entire texts, genres, forms or contents. The volume includes 38 essays dedicated to research in this area that have previously been read at the ICLA conference 2016 in Vienna
Neolithic land-use in the Dutch wetlands: estimating the land-use implications of resource exploitation strategies in the Middle Swifterbant Culture (4600-3900 BCE)
The Dutch wetlands witness the gradual adoption of Neolithic novelties by foraging societies during the Swifterbant period. Recent analyses provide new insights into the subsistence palette of Middle Swifterbant societies. Small-scale livestock herding and cultivation are in evidence at this time, but their importance if unclear. Within the framework of PAGES Land-use at 6000BP project, we aim to translate the information on resource exploitation into information on land-use that can be incorporated into global climate modelling efforts, with attention for the importance of agriculture. A reconstruction of patterns of resource exploitation and their land-use dimensions is complicated by methodological issues in comparing the results of varied recent investigations. Analyses of organic residues in ceramics have attested to the cooking of aquatic foods, ruminant meat, porcine meat, as well as rare cases of dairy. In terms of vegetative matter, some ceramics exclusively yielded evidence of wild plants, while others preserve cereal remains. Elevated δ15N values of human were interpreted as demonstrating an important aquatic component of the diet well into the 4th millennium BC. Yet recent assays on livestock remains suggest grazing on salt marshes partly accounts for the human values. Finally, renewed archaeozoological investigations have shown the early presence of domestic animals to be more limited than previously thought. We discuss the relative importance of exploited resources to produce a best-fit interpretation of changing patterns of land-use during the Middle Swifterbant phase. Our review combines recent archaeological data with wider data on anthropogenic influence on the landscape. Combining the results of plant macroremains, information from pollen cores about vegetation development, the structure of faunal assemblages, and finds of arable fields and dairy residue, we suggest the most parsimonious interpretation is one of a limited land-use footprint of cultivation and livestock keeping in Dutch wetlands between 4600 and 3900 BCE.NWOVidi 276-60-004Human Origin
Taphonomy, environment or human plant exploitation strategies?: Deciphering changes in Pleistocene-Holocene plant representation at Umhlatuzana rockshelter, South Africa
The period between ~40 and 20 ka BP encompassing the Middle Stone Age (MSA) and Later Stone Age (LSA) transition has long been of interest because of the associated technological change. Understanding this transition in southern Africa is complicated by the paucity of archaeological sites that span this period. With its occupation sequence spanning the last ~70,000 years, Umhlatuzana Rock Shelter is one of the few sites that record this transition. Umhlatuzana thus offers a great opportunity to study past environmental dynamics from the Late Pleistocene (MIS 4) to the Late Holocene, and past human subsistence strategies, their social organisation, technological and symbolic innovations. Although organic preservation is poor (bones, seeds, and charcoal) at the site, silica phytoliths preserve generally well throughout the sequence. These microscopic silica particles can identify different plant types that are no longer visible at the site because of decomposition or burning to a reliable taxonomical level. Thus, to trace site occupation, plant resource use, and in turn reconstruct past vegetation, we applied phytolith analyses to sediment samples of the newly excavated Umhlatuzana sequence. We present results of the phytolith assemblage variability to determine change in plant use from the Pleistocene to the Holocene and discuss them in relation to taphonomical processes and human plant gathering strategies and activities. This study ultimately seeks to provide a palaeoenvironmental context for modes of occupation and will shed light on past human-environmental interactions in eastern South Africa.NWOVidi 276-60-004Human Origin
