In diesem Beitrag möchte ich kurz drei Programme zum Erstellen von Schaubildern und Infografiken vergleichen: die beiden Browsertools easel.ly und piktochart sowie einen Klassiker der Flussdiagramme, Microsoft Visio.
Testaufgabe war das Erstellen eines Schaubilds zu einem einfachen Publikationszyklusnach dieser Vorlage. Es wurde also die Anforderung an die drei Programme gestellt, eine konkrete Vorstellung umzusetzen.

Von Benedikt Rothhagen Das Smartphone ist heute für viele zu einem täglichen Begleiter geworden: Es spielt Musik, empfängt E-Mails, nimmt Fotos auf, weist den Weg durch fremde Städte… und nun auch durch französische Bibliotheken. Denn diese verfügen meist nur über … Weiterlesen →

Unfortunately, Julianne Nyhan will not be able to attend the conference “Digital Humanities Experiments” and give her keynote speach. David Chavalarias (ISC-PIF, Paris) will take her place and present his paper: “The collective dynamics of science – publish or perish; is it all that counts?”.
Thursday, June 11th 2015: 6 p.m. David Chavalarias (ISC-PIF, Paris): The collective dynamics of science – publish or perish; is it all that counts?
There is an increasing pressure on scholars to publish to further or sustain a career in academia. The Governments and funding agencies are greedy of indicators based on the scientic production to measure science performance.

On the second day of the conference “Digital Humanities Experiments #dhiha6” at the German Historical Institute Paris (DHIP) we will experiment in different Laboratories (see the arcticle “The program explained“). Four live experiments will be organised and the participants can choose according to their interests.
Laboratory 1: Aggregate, visualize and browse information about researchers and their activities
Lambert Heller (TIB Hannover) and David Chavalarias (ISC-PIF, Paris)
Data-Experiments and Visualization with Open Science VIVO beta and communityexplorer.org
Nowadays, information about researchers and their activities can be found everywhere on the web, and there is nothing wrong with that in principle. A closer look reveals a more desperate situation: Many variations on the closed silo. On the one hand there are the classics like Web of Science (expensive, includes only traditional research products like the peer review journal article), on the other hand closed institutional systems (like Elsevier Pure, Thomson Reuters Converis) that are not mainly made for the web and its public.

On Friday 12th – the second day of the conference “Digital Humanities Experiments #dhiha6” at the German Historical Institute Paris (DHIP) – we will try the dialogic form Conversation-Stations, or ConverStations (see the arcticle “The program explained“). The participants will debate different topics at different tables with different people.
The value of failure in science, table animated by Claudine Moulin (IEA/University Trier)
Unsuccessful attempts or what might be considered as “failures” in Science have not really been reflected on in Humanities. Especially in the new constellation of “success” in humanistic Academia being increasingly measured by indices, third party founding rankings and (publication) ratings I would like to turn the attention to the positive sides of unsuccessful attempts and the context of experimentation in Digital Humanities.
Claudine Moulin is professor for Historical Linguistics and Director of the Trier Center for Digital Humanities. In 2010 she was recipient of the Academy-Prize (Akademie der Wissenschaften und Literatur, Mainz). In 2012/13 she was a visiting professor at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes EPHE/Sorbonne in Paris. She is currently a fellow at the Institut d’études avancées in Paris.

New paths through the histories of digital humanities: uncovering hidden contributions to Busa’s Index Thomisticus
Abtract of the Keynote speech by Julianne Nyhan (University College London), opening speech of the conference “Digital Humanities Experiments #dhiha6” at the German Historical Institute in Paris, Thursday, June 11th 2015 at 6 p.m.
This symposium’s call for papers emphasises that while experimentation plays a central role in Digital Humanities it remains rather alien to the Humanities. This tension:
affects not only the individual researcher’s methodological standards, but also the communicational and infrastructural context in which he/she works, from the place taken by teamwork to grant requirements, including such a major aspect as the integration of failure into the research process.

Conference “Digital Humanities Experiments” #dhiha6
11th–12th June 2015 at the German Historical Institute Paris (DHIP)
Organised by: Mareike König, Suzanne Dumouchel, Lisa Bolz (all DHIP), Claudine Moulin (IEA/University Trier), Pierre Mounier (OpenEdition), Anne Baillot (Humboldt University of Berlin)
With the financial support of: European Science Foundation – Scientific Review Group HUM, Institut d’études avancées (IEA)
This conference addresses the gap between the research culture with which Digital Humanists are equipped via their disciplinary backgrounds and the research culture they foster in this field. Why does experimentation play a crucial role in Digital Humanities? How does it contribute to define the relationship between method and research questions? Can we identify barriers which currently prevent Digital Humanities from developing their full potential, leaving little room for iteration, comparison or failure? The conference itself is conceived as an experimental set-up with labs, data experiments and round tables.

Call for blog posts as part of the conference #dhiha6 – “Experiments in Digital Humanities”

The event is organized by the German Historical Institute, the Cléo, the Paris Institute for Advanced Studies and European Science Foundation and the day will revolve around thethe theme of “experiments”. It will be an opportunity to test research practices and question the “scientific” approach of the Human and Social Sciences favored by the development of Digital Humanities.
In the course of this new edition the organizers call for blog posts on the topic of “Experiments in Digital Humanities.”
Thus, four research practices will be explored:
A list of potential topics is proposed here, though it is not exhaustive:
Posts are expected between April 20 and May 31st 2015 and they can be written in French, German or English. Please, use the hashtag #dhiha6 and post your article in the comments sections of this post. Please send it also to the following address: sdumouchel [at] dhi-paris.fr
