AbstractIIS - 0736476Seales, William B.University of KentuckyChanging the Center of Gravity: Transforming Classical Studies through CyberinfrastructureThis project requests funds to support a two-day workshop to be held at the University of Kentucky focussed on computational humanities. The purpose of the workshop is to understand how new computational tools and resources have been taken up by humanists and applied to problems long considered out of reach, and at the same time revealed new challenges and desired capabilities for information technologies research. This meeting will bring together approximately 25 participants representing a diverse and experienced group of domain and IT scholars and practitioners. These scholars from diverse fields have all contributed to shaping through their work a vision for how computation, tools and underlying technical infrastructure can shape the future of research and scholarship in the Classics and humanities more generally. Artifacts and manuscripts essentially inaccessable for broad scholarly use in their physical form have been accurately rendered in digital form and distributed widely for examination and analysis by students and researchers. A specific expected outcome is an articulated description of the emerging state of cyberinfrastructure for the Classics and how it has been shifting the center of gravity away from the traditional structures and practices in the field, which has been in printed materials. The current and evolving set of tools based on technology (computational algorithms; digitization; databases; network access; tagged, indexed and cross-referenced archives) is substantial and collectively forms an impressive shift away from the traditional forms defined by print. A second expected outcome is identifying the global production and refinement of computing/humanities collaborative work and elucidate state-of-the-art progress in a number of areas.

AbstractIIS - 0736476Seales，William B.肯塔基大学改变重心：通过网络基础设施转变古典研究该项目请求资金支持在肯塔基大学举办的为期两天的研讨会，重点关注计算人文学科。研讨会的目的是了解人文学者如何采用新的计算工具和资源并将其应用于长期被认为遥不可及的问题，同时揭示信息技术研究的新挑战和所需能力。本次会议将汇集约 25 名与会者，他们代表着多元化且经验丰富的领域和 IT 学者及从业者群体。这些来自不同领域的学者都通过他们的工作，为塑造计算、工具和底层技术基础设施如何更广泛地塑造古典学和人文学科研究和学术的未来的愿景做出了贡献。实质上无法以物理形式广泛学术使用的文物和手稿已以数字形式准确呈现，并广泛分发以供学生和研究人员检查和分析。 具体的预期成果是对经典网络基础设施的新兴状态的清晰描述，以及它如何将重心从印刷材料中的该领域的传统结构和实践中转移出来。当前和不断发展的基于技术的工具集（计算算法；数字化；数据库；网络访问；标记、索引和交叉引用档案）是巨大的，并且共同形成了对印刷定义的传统形式的令人印象深刻的转变。第二个预期成果是确定计算/人文协作工作的全球生产和完善，并阐明许多领域的最新进展。
