Amazing opportunity to spend 2 weeks learning semantic web technologies and the creation of LOD, named entities (NLP, NER) via authority files and the use of GIS and IIIF. It's great fun! If you have students at one of the partner institutions, pass this on to them 😊

A meme featuring a line drawing in the style of a medieval manuscript illumination with red and black accents. A monk wearing a red cap sits with an open manuscript while a small bird perches on his shoulder. He turns his head with a skeptical expression.
Below the illustration, the caption reads: "Thanks to Handwritten Text Recognition, I don't need to learn palaeography anymore.*"
Beneath it, a footnote reads: "*No, you still have to."

Day 4 of the #antidote joint training week in Bratislava: After a busy morning of coding, we traded our screens for beautiful scenery. Participants, teachers, and organizers headed out to Devín Castle by boat!

A large group of people posing together outdoors on a bright, sunny day. The group is arranged in rows, some standing, others kneeling or sitting on a grassy hill mixed with stone paving. In the background, the Danube flows through a scenic landscape of green fields, trees, and rolling hills under a clear blue sky.

I’m helping participants of @antidote-network.bsky.social in Bratislava, and we reached a very specific problem - there is no easy way to connect eXistDB to vscode so they can use more advanced features than Exide provides. So I made a little extension for Web DAV. It’s open source.

CfP for IMC Leeds, 6-9 July 2026

The Endless Scroll: Digital Approaches to Medieval Time

Sponsor: Centre for Digital Humanities and Arts, Iceland
Submission deadline: 1 September 2025

The Icelandic Centre for Digital Humanities and Arts invites contributions that explore how digital methods and tools can illuminate, represent, and reinterpret medieval temporalities. While we particularly welcome research with a focus on the Northern World, this call is open to comparative or globally situated projects across disciplines, periods, and geographies that approach time as both a subject of inquiry and a structuring principle.

Possible topics may include (but are not limited to):

Visualising medieval perceptions or structures of time
Tools and technologies for measuring, representing, or distorting medieval time
Digital editions of computus texts
Digital reconstruction of objects or texts, lost or transformed over time
Manuscript temporality (e.g. mise-en-page, palimpsests, gloss traditions, marginalia) using computational approaches
Modelling temporal rhythms in liturgy, agriculture, politics, or narratives
Analysis of long-term temporalities in environmental, climatic, or landscape data
Artificial intelligence and the automation of temporal interpretation
Temporal modelling in metadata, databases, markup languages, and DH infrastructures
Interface design and user experience in projects that convey or manipulate medieval temporalities
Re-mediating or reimagining medieval time in games or immersive digital environments
Temporal poetics and the aesthetics of time in digital medievalism

Please submit an abstract of around 200 words, a short bio including affiliation and contact information, and indicate your preferred mode of participation (in-person or virtual).
Proposals and queries should be sent to Katrín Lísa L. Mikaelsdóttir (kll@hi.is) no later than 1 September 2025.
