In this interview, Melvin Wevers begins by talking about his career and his contribution to the first big text mining project in the Netherlands. He shares his experiences in approaching, working and interpreting the data and discusses the risks of both data-driven and hypothesis-driven research. He then talks about the new developments in computer vision which can be relevant to historians and about the importance of modelling in digital enabled historical research. He continues with an overview of the major projects he’s currently involved in and comments on the role of the “digital humanist”. He concludes by pointing out new trends, which in his view will shape the digital history of the future. [less ▲]

Der steigende Anteil von erneuerbarer Energie im Mix der Stromerzeugung mit den erheblichen bekannten Fluktuationen bei Wind- und Photovoltaikanlagen führt zu einer steigenden Diskrepanz zwischen der Stromerzeugung und seiner Nachfrage. Bisher wird die Stromerzeugung aus Biogasanlagen mehr oder weniger konstant gefahren. Allerdings könnte dies in Zukunft mehr zum Ausgleich der Stromerzeugung und Nachfrage genutzt werden wozu jedoch größere Puffervolumina erforderlich sind. Hierzu könnte eine interessante Variante des Zwei-Stufen-Prozesses verwendet werden. Die erste Stufe wird dabei mit höherer Belastung und kurzer Verweilzeit bei relativ niedrigen pH-Werten betrieben und es entstehen im Wesentlichen flüssige Zwischenprodukte (und nur wenig Gas). Der Ablauf der ersten Stufe kann dann in relativ kleinen Flüssigkeitsbehältern zwischengelagert werden und bei Bedarf der zweiten Stufe zugeführt werden, in der die Weiterreaktion zum Biogas stattfindet. Die vorgestellte Variante hat gegenüber der Zwischen-Speicherung von Biogas den Vorteil, dass die erforderlichen Speicher-Volumina deutlich kleiner ausfallen. [less ▲]

In this interview, Professor Steven Jones talks about his career and training in textual studies. Because of his specific interest in the materiality of texts in archives, he soon became interested in the relationship of the physical and the digital as a theoretical problem and methodological issue. He then talks about the myth of Roberto Busa as “founding father of digital humanities” which he sets out to complement with history. He comments on Busa’s work with IBM and on the young female punched card operators that worked in the first institutional digital humanities centre that Busa created. Jones is currently working on a project to reconstruct and model the centre and the work that was done there. To conclude, he offers his comments on the directions digital humanities might take on in the future. [less ▲]

The absolute Galois group of a local or global field can be better understood by studying its representations, important classes of which are constructed from geometric objects such as elliptic or modular curves. The results of a line of work initiated by Serre, Ribet and Momose suggest that certain interesting symmetries of a Galois representation constructed this way are in bijection with the symmetries of the underlying geometric object. We present a recent result in this direction, obtained in a joint work with J. Lang and A. Medvedovsky. [less ▲]

In diesem Vortrag mit dem Titel „Wissenschaftliches Schreiben in mehreren Sprachen“ widme ich mich den Besonderheiten der Verwendung von Sprache in der Wissenschaft und den Äquivalenzproblemen zwischen den Wissenschaftssprachen, die sich für Verfasser wissenschaftlicher Texte daraus ergeben. Dies betrifft Schreibnovizen - also Studierende, die das Handwerkszeug wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens und dessen sprachliche Vermittlung erst erlernen müssen - ebenso wie professionelle Schreiber wissenschaftlicher Texte oder Übersetzer. Zu Beginn gehe ich kurz auf die historische Entwicklung der Wissenschaftssprachen und deren Unterschiede in der sprachlichen Herausbildung wissenschaftlicher Handlungen und Konzepte ein. Im Hauptteil widme ich mich dann einigen spezifischen Äquivalenzproblemen zwischen den Wissenschaftssprachen, die mit Beispielen illustriert werden. Dabei werde ich aus einem unserer Forschungsschwerpunkte im Sprachenzentrum der Universität Luxemburg: „Wissenschaftliche Kommunikation in mehreren Sprachen“ und den daraus entstandenen Forschungsprojekten und Publikationen berichten.

In this interview, Professor Jane Winters gives an overview of her career, starting as a medieval historian to becoming a professor in digital history. She talks about her main work with born digital archives and reflects on how web archive changes historical research. ‘History from below’ with a big interest in genealogy and local history being very popular in the UK, she describes the character of digital history in her country and the response of both amateur and professional historians to digitisation. She pleads for more digital pedagogy at an earlier stage of the curriculum and underlines the importance of the relationship between digital humanities and other stakeholders like librarians and archivists. In her view, the next big challenge in digital humanities will be the non-text media analysis. [less ▲]

In this interview, Professor Tim Hitchcock describes his beginnings as an historian in British social history and how he became involved in the field of digital humanities. He explains how he started with Robert Shoemaker in the late 1990’s big digitization projects like “Old Bailey online” (The Proceedings of the Old Bailey, 1674-1913). He emphasizes also the role of digital history in connection with the history from below in the United Kingdom and public history in the United States. Tim Hitchcock also criticizes the way in which a lot of historians meet the digital challenge and underlines the importance of the use of digital tools in the undergraduates curriculum in the University of Sussex. He also explains the interactions between close reading and distant reading, how historians nowadays deal with it, and describes the perspectives for digital history in the future. [less ▲]
