DiSc Events

As we come to the end of one term, we are looking forward to bringing you a range of workshops, seminars, and other events, in the next. From TEI in a tavern to an international seminar series, keep an eye on our website, social media, future event bulletins, and newsletters for forthcoming details. In the meantime, here are a few things to look forward to, to keep you going!

Celebration of Sustainable Digital Scholarship @ Oxford

Join us on Wednesday 27 April to celebrate one year of Sustainable Digital Scholarship @ Oxford. Starting with refreshments at 15:30, this special anniversary event at St Luke's Chapel (Radcliffe Observatory Quarter) will be a fantastic opportunity to discover more about the Sustainable Digital Scholarship (SDS) service and Digital Scholarship @ Oxford, and will also provide a valuable opportunity to hear from and network with academic colleagues working in this area.

TEI in the Tavern

Is TEI your cup of tea? Or even something stronger? Join us at our TEI community building event at an as yet unspecified tavern (we can confirm it will be in central Oxford), where we will congregate informally to discuss what the TEI landscape of Oxford looks like, and how we can map and develop its community better.

Linked Art in practice using Jupyter Code Notebooks - Connecting cultural heritage collections data

13:00-14:00 3 May 2022

In this webinar, Research Software Engineer Tanya Gray will guide attendees through a practical exploration of transforming, reconciling, and visualising Linked Art, using real-world data from museums and galleries worldwide. These will be demonstrated using ‘code notebooks’ developed during the Linked Art II project and implemented in Jupyter. The notebooks provide step-by-step illustration and explanation, and can provide a foundation for further customisation.

Institutions & Networks: The cultural infrastructures of digital scholarship

14:00 24 May, Maison Française d’Oxford and Zoom

In this unique seminar hosted by Maison Française d’Oxford (MFO) and Digital Scholarship @ Oxford (DiSc), participants from leading research institutions in France and the UK will discuss the challenges and opportunities for national institutions engaged in digital research, including

  • creating and sustaining long-term infrastructures in a research environment that favours short-term funding;
  • enabling collaboration and exchange;
  • and balancing public and commercial interests in their work.

Introduced by the directors of MFO and DiSc (Professors Pascal Marty and Howard Hotson), this seminar will draw together speakers from Bibliothèque Nationale de France, British Library, Huma-Num, and the Alan Turing Institute. Gathering in the seminar room at MFO, participants and attendees will have an opportunity to hear four papers on these topics, take part in formal and informal discussion and exchange, and enjoy a little cheese, wine (or alcohol-free alternative), and conversation.

Confirmed speakers: Nicolas Larrousse, Huma-Num CNRS; Emmanuelle Bermès & Marie Carlin (BNF, Paris); Dave De Roure (Engineering Science Department and Alan Turing Institute.); Barbara McGillivray (Alan Turing institute)
