Digital intellectual history should concern itself with the history of words or constellations of words rather than the history of 'concepts'. In fact, this is what digital historians of concepts are already doing. We should begin to acknowledge this explicitly.

This paper aims to visualize connections between Egypt and Southern Levant during the Bronze and Iron Ages. We compare Egyptian representations of animals and zooarchaeological records from documented excavation reports related to locations of zoological species in the Southern Levant. The comparison is possible through the use of GIS and network analysis to connect the iconographic and zooarchaeological data.

About representing characters in text. We present an analysis of pronouns, nouns and names in Norwegian novels. The purpose is to arrive at a discourse representation of texts, in terms of characters and their relationships and properties. We use the Norwegian national library and its digital resources for this purpose.

We create a Knowledge Graph for Humanities research. Starting with a multidisciplinary dataset of 25,000 OCRed JSTOR papers, we use Deep Learning methods to filter out OCR noise, extract and interrelate research activities, methods and goals, associate them with metadata and transform each paper into approximately 200 RDF triples.

In large digital libraries, such as the HathiTrust, metadata is insufficient to identify items of interest. Metadata records are often incomplete and challenging for fiction, where metadata categories, when present, are too broad. This project constructs a machine learning pipeline for fiction classification using the HTRC Extracted Features Dataset, and based on previous work from Underwood et al. We will detail the methodology, early results, and planned future work in generating this dataset.

This CATMA (Computer Assisted Text Markup and Analysis) workshop is intended for users with some preliminary experience with manual digital annotation who (want to) operate with larger amounts of annotation data in the context of their own work or research projects. It will demonstrate the basic features of CATMA and how annotation data can be processed using either the Python package GitMA (Vauth et al. 2021) or the web-based visualization tool vis-À-vis (Münz-Manor et al. 2020). The workshop will provide answers to questions like: How do I access my CATMA annotation data via GitMA? How do I calculate the agreement between multiple annotators? How do I generate advanced visualizations of the texts and annotations in vis-À-vis? How do I visualize collaboratively created annotation data stored in multiple collections?

This poster proposal presents a project whose results are the linguistic annotation of ancient Greek bibliographic references with a focus on Named Entity Recognition related to author names and work titles, in order to produce new dynamic text-based tools that are not available in existing indices and catalogs.

Digital editions, text collections, and lexical resources each have their own tradition in the (digital) humanities and at the same time, the data domains also share common methods and practices of indexing, modeling, and analysis. The Text+ consortium in the German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI)is dedicated to the handling of research data in the three aforementioned research domains and is exploring methods and practices of cross-domain use of datasets and the resulting collaboration between research fields. The poster shows the connections between the three data domains in Text+ using a concrete example: the edition of letters by the German writer Jean Paul (Jean Paul Friedrich Richter, 1763–1825) of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities (BBAW). The poster was accepted and presented at the DH2023 conference in Graz.

This paper presents systems to extract measures for legislators' engagement and absence during committee meetings and the stance and affiliation of non-lawmakers making public comments. We propose a system to track the affiliation of organizations in public comments and whether the organizational representative supports or opposes the bill.

The presentation discusses the notion of a "Proto-edition" which combines a pure visual representation of text with a deep description skipping the transcription of the text. It relates it theoretical models like Patrick Sahle's text wheel (2013) and the use of artificial Intelligence for creating "artifical editions" (Stutzmann at IMC 2019).

This paper proposes a visualisation method for understanding how computational approaches can be used to both understand and defamiliarize the workings of space and scale in a corpus of poetry by Emily Dickinson. The ramifications for the compuational study of poetry more generally are also considered.
