The Research Center Digital Humanities at the University of Innsbruck, the Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities, CLARIN and DARIAH-AT invite you to submit proposals for the 4th Digital Humanities Austria Conference that takes place in Innsbruck from December the 4th till December the 6th, 2017.We invite proposals in all areas of Digital Humanities research and related fields that work with digital methods, resources and data.Special attention will be given to our conference theme: Data First!?The digital turn is increasing the interest for data among the humanities. Data will be produced almost automatically regarding to methods like text recognition and text mining. On the one hand, the work with data offers new challenges for humanities scholars according to its quantity (keyword: Big Data) and its quality (the high error rate of produced data). On the other hand, it reveals unknown and exciting insights and analysis. Submissions according to this topic will be given preference.ProposalsProposals can be submitted for paper presentations, panels, workshops, posters and demonstrations ("Tools Gallery"). &#160;Abstracts that will be uploaded at Conftool are considered as proposals.Theme 1: Data First!?The digital world of the humanities consists of digital corpora production and archiving, source-critical controlling, data analysis, interpretation and visualization. New methods, techniques and workflows will be developed for these processes. These diverse opportunities are the center of the conference and the call.DefinitionsProductionData QualityAnalysisVisualizationArchivingTheme 2: DH @ academic disciplinesAccording to us, Digital Humanities isn't just an academic discipline. It is a label that describes the work with digital data and its methods in the field of humanities. Therefore, proposals from all fields of humanities and social sciences are welcome. These include for example:ArchaeologyClassical philologyCodicologyComputer ScienceEconomicsGender studiesHistoryLanguageLawLexicologyLiteratureMusicologyPedagogyPerforming artsPoliticsPhilosophyTheologyVisual artsTheme 3: DH &#38; infrastructuresDigital Humanities without a strong collaboration to research infrastructures are hardly conceivable. Therefore, submissions of the following research fields are also very welcome.Archives, Libraries, MuseumsCitizen ScienceCrowd-SourcingFunding AgenciesOpen AccessRepositoriesResearch Data ManagementUniversity CurriculaVirtual Research EnvironmentsTheme 4: DH research challenges and applicationsDigital Humanities in the narrow sense includes different methods and applications, which have to be developed for a successful scientific work. These include for example:Automated Text RecognitionAuthorship AttributioneLearningNetwork Analysis(Big) Data AnalysisNamed Entities RecognitionNamed Entities LinkingMachine LearningVisualizationStylometryText AnnotationTopic ModellingPost CorrectionTheme 5: Digitization of cultural heritage/research dataThe digitization of relevant sources in the scientific work of humanities and social sciences is the most important requirement of a successful digital-humanistic research. The characteristics of the sources, the used devices and the methods pose a challenge in particular.Data miningNoisy DataLinked Open DataGIS-SystemsBest practice projectsArchiving of Social Network-CorporaResource Types (3-D, Handwritten Material, Multimedia Material etc.)We are looking forward to your submissions.
