Call for Short Papers: Round Table Visualizing Hypotheses: Practical Handling of Uncertainty in Digital 3D Models at CHNT 2019 (November 4-6, 2019)

The call for papers for the 24th conference on Cultural Heritage and New Technologies (CHNT 24), taking place on November 4-6, 2019 in Vienna, is now open.

Short presentations of 10 minutes are welcome for the round table Visualizing Hypotheses: Practical Handling of Uncertainty in Digital 3D Models, which is organized by Christiane Clados (University of Marburg) and Heike Messemer (Universität Würzburg, Urban History 4D) as members of the working group “AG Digitale Rekonstruktion”.

The aim of this round table is to bring together scholars from different disciplines to discuss how hypotheses and uncertainties are visualized in scientific 3D reconstructions and how this can be handled in the future:

Digital 3D reconstructions of cultural artefacts, historical characters and architecture contribute to a better understanding of cultural heritage. In the broad user community, experts from various fields such as architecture, archaeology, art history, palaeontology, forensic anthropology, museology generate 3D reconstructions in order to gain insights into no longer existing evidence. Therefore, such reconstructions are a critical tool for the “translation” of scientific data into visualizations, which make these accessible to the expert community and the general public.

However, due to knowledge gaps within the diverse set of underlying sources, uncertainties are part of nearly all digital models.

CIPA Workshop on Research and Education in Urban History in the Age of Digital Libraries 2019 in Dresden

The CIPA Workshop on Research and Education in Urban History in the Age of Digital Libraries takes place on October 10-11, 2019 at the Deutsches Hygiene-Museum in Dresden, Germany. It is co-located with the Time Machine Conference 2019. The workshop is an international event for the professionals of multiple disciplines and scholars working in the Digital Cultural Heritage domain. The aim of the workshop is to bring together experts, stakeholders and researchers from the cultural domain, starting a dialogue that will lay out the foundation for the creation of a multidisciplinary community of practice.

Urban history, drawing on architectural heritage and cultural history, is one of the key areas in digital humanities. Regarding to that research interest, digital libraries play an important role, especially for visual media like photographs, paintings, or drawings, but also for physical and digital 3D models. Due to the wide field of possible research, different approaches, methods and technologies have emerged – and are still emerging. We aim to discuss crucial challenges for further research and encourage debate on the state of the art and future work. We would like to invite contributions on theoretical and methodological issues, application scenarios and projects, as well as novel approaches and tools.

Is your Research Future Proof? Data Management Techniques & Tools for Digital Historians – Hands-on Workshop #dhiha8

When?: June 17, 2019, 14h00-17h45
Where? Institut historique allemand Paris
Registration and information: event@dhi-paris.fr
Conference: Teaching History in the Digital Age – international perspectives #dhiha8

Due to the digital transformation of research practices, for Historians, activities and issues around planning, organizing, storing, and sharing data and other research results and products (e.g. digitized source materials, analysis results, web applications) play an increasing role. During this workshop, the participants will acquire knowledge and skills that will enable them to draft their own executable research data management plan, using the tool RDMO – Research Data Management Organizer.

Knowledge and skills acquired in this workshop, will support the participants in the production of reusable, machine-readable data, a key prerequisite for conducting effective and sustainable projects adhering the FAIR (Findable, Reusable, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles as promoted by the European Commission and national funding agencies within the framework of Open Science/Open Scholarship.

Audio-visual Production and Public History

Very few historians actually produce (documentary) films. Producing documentary films provides students – all historians – with skills to engage and communicate with different publics.

The post Audio-visual Production and Public History appeared first on Public History Weekly.
