    Final Report: Workset Creation for Scholarly Analysis Prototyping Project - Distributed Metadata Correction and Annotation
    (2015-06-16) Munoz, Trevor
    As part of the Workset Creation for Scholarly Analysis (WCSA) project led by the HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC), the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH) developed prototypes for a set of services and interfaces that would allow scholarly research teams to pull metadata records from the HathiTrust APIs, correct and annotate these records using standardized vocabularies, gather corrections and annotations from other application instances, and export them in formats suitable for publication as linked data. MITH also proposed to produce a demonstration of an index service that would allow research groups to register their data publications in order to make them available to other groups through a discovery interface.

    Art History in Digital Dimensions: A Report on the Proceedings of the Symposium Held in October 2016 at The Phillips Collection, Washington D.C. and the University of Maryland, College Park
    (2017-02) Bury, Stephen; Baylor, Ralph; Deutch, Samantha; Duncan, Sumitra; Ludwig, Julie; Prokop, Ellen; Wood Ruby, Louisa
    The symposium “Art History in Digital Dimensions” held at The Phillips Collection, Washington D.C. and the University of Maryland, College Park in October 2016 brought together an international, multigenerational group of forty‐five academics, museum and cultural heritage professionals, information scientists, publishers, conservators, and program and grant officers to discuss the current state of digital art history and develop a roadmap for the future practice of the field. The three‐day event, organized by the Department of Art History and Archaeology and the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH) at the University of Maryland and sponsored by the Samuel H. Kress Foundation and the Getty Foundation, comprised an interactive agenda featuring roundtables and breakout working groups that addressed core and concerns posed by the incorporation of computational tools and analytical techniques into the study of art history. This format encouraged participants to articulate the challenges and benefits that digitally‐inflected, data‐driven practices offered their own research, teaching, conservation work, and publications and determine strategies to address these opportunities effectively.

    Exploring assemblages of appraisal in web archives
    (2017-07-12) Summers, Ed; Punzalan, Ricardo
    Even after over 20 years of active web archiving we know surprising little about how archivists appraise and select web content for preservation. Since we can’t keep it all, how we decide what to keep from the web is certain to shape the historical record (Cook 2011). In this context, we ask the following research questions: 1. How are archivists deciding what to collect from the web? ; 2. How do technologies for web archiving figure in their appraisal decisions? ; 3. Are there opportunities to design more useful systems for the appraisal of content for web archives?
