Call for papers/posters: Digital editions: representation, interoperability, text analysis and infrastructuresDigital editions: representation, interoperability, text analysis and infrastructuresFifth AIUCD Annual Conference7-9 settembre 2016Aula Magna S. Trentin, Ca’ Dolfin, Dorsoduro 3825/e - 30123 VeneziaCALL FOR PAPERS AND POSTERS[Full announcement available on:http://www.aiucd2016.unive.it/(work in progress)http://www.umanisticadigitale.it/edizioni-digitali-rappresentazione-interoperabilita-analisi-del-testo-e-infrastrutture-dedicate/]The AIUCD 2016 conference is devoted to the representation and study of the text under different points of view (resources, analysis, infrastructures), in order to bring together philologists, historians, digital humanists, computational linguists, logicians, computer scientists and software engineers and discuss about the text.It is time for research infrastructures to be able to guarantee interoperability and integration between the instruments for philological studies and the instruments for the analysis of large textual corpora, breaking down the rigid barriers between digital and computational philology on the one hand, and corpus linguistics on the other hand.As a consequence, without ruling out other possible topics belonging to the Digital Humanities area, we solicit your contributions (talks and posters) on these topics:_Representation and Interoperability_* Which digital representation models prove most effective for overcoming the dichotomy between diplomatic and critical editions?* How to integrate multimedia products (such as 2D images, 3D models, audio, video) in the digital edition?* How to apply the methods of digital philology to multimedia products (such as film quotations, restored versions, musical variations, etc.)?* How to build a constructive dialogue between traditional philologists and digital philologists?_Text Analysis and Digital Objects Processing_* Which extensions are needed, in order to apply the methods of computational linguistics to the study of variants?* How to create linguistic and textual analysis chains starting from texts that present variants?* How can computational linguistic tools be used to bring out regions of interest in large amounts of text on which to focus the attention?* What is the state of art for the analysis of digital objects?* How to assess the quality of analyses produce by means of the crowdsourcing method?_Infrastructures_What can research infrastructures offer for the management of digital editions?How to conduct a study of requirements for infrastructures so that they are increasingly accessible to both digital humanists and traditional philologists?How can Digital humanities scholars be put in contact with the community of traditional scholars?_Communities and Collaboration_* Which benefits do the interaction and the involvement of teachers, high school and university students in digital editions projects bring to research activities?* How can digital libraries collaborate to create, access, share and reuse digital resources?* How may teachers and students get interested in the dissemination of research results?* How do digital libraries contribute to the dissemination of research results?* How to prepare a shared syllabus, in order to train digital humanists to become aware of aware of the problems and potentialities of digital editions?* Which are the best practices to enroll a broader audience in the use of digital editions?*Abstract submission*The contributions (talks and posters), to be proposed in the form of an abstract of 1000 words maximum, in PDF format, must be loaded through the EasyChair Web site at this URL: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aiucd2016.

Information on the acceptance will be communicated to the authors by June 30, 2016.*Abstract preparation and evaluation*The abstract should describe the objectives of the contribution, a brief reference to the state of the art, the methodology adopted, and - if possible - the results achieved or expected. It should also contain a bibliography.The call for papers welcome three types of contributions: (1) full paper, mainly to discuss innovative methodologies; (2) short paper, mainly to present accomplished research outputs; (3) poster, mainly to present early and innovative work in progress.The conference proposals will be selected through peer-reviewing by at least two Italian and/or foreign scholars expert in the fields of (Digital) Humanities and/or Computer Science.At the end of the evaluation process, the Scientific Committee may decide to move an accepted proposal to a different category.*Instructions for talks*Full papers will last 30 minutes (20-25 min + 5-10 min for questions). Short papers will last 20 minutes (15 min + 5 min for questions).
