CALL FOR PAPERS
Sustainable data from digital research: Humanities perspectives on digital scholarship
Dates: 12-14th December 2011
Venue: University of Melbourne, Australia
A PARADISEC conference
http://paradisec.org.au/2011Conf.html
Digital methods for recording information are now ubiquitous. In
fieldwork-based disciplines, like linguistics, musicology,
anthropology and so on, recordings are typically of high cultural
value and there is great benefit in the proper curation of these
recordings, to the researcher, to the community in which they worked,
and to the broader society.
What are the costs and benefits of these technologies?
Papers are welcomed on any relevant topic, including (but not limited to):
How can we:
- ensure the longevity of the data we record
- access our own data over time
- provide public access to publicly funded research data (including
dealing with ethical and IP issues) - provide data to the people we record, especially to those who have
little access to computers or the internet - ensure that our research processes and analysis take maximum
advantage of the access to data provided by digital methods - embed our analysis in accessible data to allow verification of our claims
- enable research based on digital data from archival sources
- develop tools and processes that accumulate data in
standards-conformant formats
Abstracts are due by 9th May 2011 with responses by 10th June, 2011.
Full papers for those who want them published in the peer-reviewed
volume will be required by August 5th for peer-review. The edited
volume will be available as a book at the conference and will be
hosted in an open-access online repository at Sydney University. Some
non-published presentations will also be accepted.
Abstract submission should be made on the conference management system
where you will need to register yourself as an ‘author’.

Here at Endangered Languages and Cultures, we fully welcome your opinion, questions and comments on any post, and all posts will have an active comments form. However if you have never commented before, your comment may take some time before it is approved. Subsequent comments from you should appear immediately.
We will not edit any comments unless asked to, or unless there have been html coding errors, broken links, or formatting errors. We still reserve the right to censor any comment that the administrators deem to be unnecessarily derogatory or offensive, libellous or unhelpful, and we have an active spam filter that may reject your comment if it contains too many links or otherwise fits the description of spam. If this happens erroneously, email the author of the post and let them know. And note that given the huge amount of spam that all WordPress blogs receive on a daily basis (hundreds) it is not possible to sift through them all and find the ham.
In addition to the above, we ask that you please observe the Gricean maxims:*Be relevant: That is, stay reasonably on topic.
*Be truthful: This goes without saying; don’t give us any nonsense.
*Be concise: Say as much as you need to without being unnecessarily long-winded.
*Be perspicuous: This last one needs no explanation.
We permit comments and trackbacks on our articles. Anyone may comment. Comments are subject to moderation, filtering, spell checking, editing, and removal without cause or justification.
All comments are reviewed by comment spamming software and by the site administrators and may be removed without cause at any time. All information provided is volunteered by you. Any website address provided in the URL will be linked to from your name, if you wish to include such information. We do not collect and save information provided when commenting such as email address and will not use this information except where indicated. This site and its representatives will not be held responsible for errors in any comment submissions.
Again, we repeat: We reserve all rights of refusal and deletion of any and all comments and trackbacks.
