                 Bottom-up initiative
InterfaceLab promotes cross-disciplinary
use of data and tools among researchers,

       by demonstrating how their
   different methods can be bridged.
Connecting epistemic cultures

                        Developing cross-disciplinary
                         understanding

                        Promoting user-centered
                         approach

                        Implementing feedback cycles

User-testing sessions
Discussing epistemological and
                 methodological differences

                 Developing common vocabulary

                Promoting collaborative writing

                Supporting shared values




Team meetings
Listening to voices from the field

            Harvesting best practices

            Sharing experiences

            Supporting collaboration

Fostering epistemic encounters and user involvement early
and often

Developing non-data driven approach (data linked to interrogation)

Recognizing researchers’ sensibility to new ways of working

Understanding cultures of formalization

Accepting boundaries or limits of technology

Developing digital
                                     tools and resources

‘In those days [10 years ago]        Challenges of
computer scientists at your own
                                     interdisciplinary
university wouldn’t even want to
talk to you. Even now when we        collaboration
work with them what computer
science recognizes as research and
what digital humanities recognize
as research are different things.’
Developing digital
                                     tools and resources

‘Humanists … are lacking a frame     Challenges of
within which to say what they
                                     interdisciplinary
might expect, or what they might
want, in a way that would help       collaboration
development process. The first
thing that we need more of is just
better and easier communications
across IT people, computer
scientists and humanists. The
languages are very different,
hugely different.’
Developing digital
                                         tools and resources

‘Unless humanists take seriously         Challenges of
two things, firstly the value of their
                                         interdisciplinary
own contributions to the
migration of cultural legacy into        collaboration
the digital environment, and
secondly, the really central value
of the humanistic perspective on
knowledge, then these
environments will be built without
the humanists, and that would be
a huge mistake.’
Developing digital
                                    tools and resources

‘It needs to be open source,        Apps (microservices)
interoperable, sustainable, which   instead of generic or
means not so specialized and        ‘boutique’ resources
boutique that the success or
failure in the long term of a
particular tool depends on three
or four scholars who use it and
love it.’
Developing digital
                                    tools and resources

‘A massive problem of the last      Apps (microservices)
couple of decades of building       instead of generic vs.
these ‘one size fits all’ sort of   ‘boutique’ resources
solutions, which does not work
either. Apps—it’s a different
generation in software
development…with apps, you let
the community define what
works.’
Developing digital
                                      tools and resources

‘For example, I do not use Zotero,    Respecting researchers’
my students do. I don’t know why      practices
except that I am too lazy. A lot of
it is just a habit. I am so busy, I
just focus on what needs to be
done.’
Developing digital
                                      tools and resources

‘It was as if the scales dropped      Going beyond ‘ah!’
from our eyes, it was as we had       experience
seen the future. The world was
the same and yet completely
different and new. We’ve gotten
much more familiar with these
kinds of technologies and
possibilities, we do not have that
sort of ‘ah’ experience every day.’
Developing digital
                                      tools and resources

‘We have now digitized a lot of       Going beyond ‘ah!’
resources, we have those silos of     experience
information, so trying to manage
the delusion of data is a priority,
something that certainly everyone
is grappling with.’
VREs

Floating signifier

Importance and problems of
combining corpora and tools

Importance of developing
research communities

Key
challenges/requirements:
interpretative level; linked
data; preservation
Future directions and recommendations

 • Links within and among       • Research questions as a
   institutions                   driving force


 • Educating researchers        • Digital or only humanities
    – Crusade                     and social sciences?
    – Trick
    – Inspire them to think       “Slow time” for digital
                                  humanities and social
 • Educating scholarly fields     sciences

Epistemic Encounters: Interdisciplinary collaboration in developing virtual research environments

  • 1. Epistemic Encounters Interdisciplinary collaboration in developing VREs Smiljana Antonijević Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences Roskilde University Interdisciplinary Insights Oxford Internet Institute March 12, 2012
  • 2. ‘I went to sleep one day a cultural critic, and woke the next metamorphosed into a data processor.’ Alan Liu, 2002
  • 3. Overview • Alfalab, Digitizing Words of Power, fieldwork • Interface Lab • Our approach to developing virtual research environments (VREs) • Voices from the field
  • 5. Text Lab Named entity recognition Transcription and annotation of textual sources
  • 6. Text Lab Space lab Historical GIS Web-based map annotation
  • 7. Portal for historical population counts Life Lab Open and easy access to the data of the Historical Sample of the Netherlands
  • 8. VRE for interdisciplinary and multilingual study of ‘words of power’ Digitizing KNAW and University of Amsterdam Words of Power Historians of religion, ethnologists, IT, STS.. Bottom-up initiative
  • 9. InterfaceLab promotes cross-disciplinary use of data and tools among researchers, by demonstrating how their different methods can be bridged.
  • 10. Connecting epistemic cultures Developing cross-disciplinary understanding Promoting user-centered approach Implementing feedback cycles User-testing sessions
  • 11. Discussing epistemological and methodological differences Developing common vocabulary Promoting collaborative writing Supporting shared values Team meetings
  • 12. Listening to voices from the field Harvesting best practices Sharing experiences Supporting collaboration Fieldwork
  • 13. Sharing experiences and practices Presenting our approach Supporting interaction within the community of practice Promoting critical reflection Dissemination
  • 14. Use Our approach Structure Use Content Fostering epistemic encounters and user involvement early and often Developing non-data driven approach (data linked to interrogation) Recognizing researchers’ sensibility to new ways of working Understanding cultures of formalization Accepting boundaries or limits of technology
  • 15. Fieldwork Alfalab (KNAW) and Humanities Information Practices (Oxford Internet Institute) April-October, 2010. 25 academic institutions; Europe, USA, Canada Site visits, observations, in- depth interviews Researchers, developers, funders, policy makers, students
  • 16. Developing digital tools and resources ‘In those days [10 years ago] Challenges of computer scientists at your own interdisciplinary university wouldn’t even want to talk to you. Even now when we collaboration work with them what computer science recognizes as research and what digital humanities recognize as research are different things.’
  • 17. Developing digital tools and resources ‘Humanists … are lacking a frame Challenges of within which to say what they interdisciplinary might expect, or what they might want, in a way that would help collaboration development process. The first thing that we need more of is just better and easier communications across IT people, computer scientists and humanists. The languages are very different, hugely different.’
  • 18. Developing digital tools and resources ‘Unless humanists take seriously Challenges of two things, firstly the value of their interdisciplinary own contributions to the migration of cultural legacy into collaboration the digital environment, and secondly, the really central value of the humanistic perspective on knowledge, then these environments will be built without the humanists, and that would be a huge mistake.’
  • 19. Developing digital tools and resources ‘It needs to be open source, Apps (microservices) interoperable, sustainable, which instead of generic or means not so specialized and ‘boutique’ resources boutique that the success or failure in the long term of a particular tool depends on three or four scholars who use it and love it.’
  • 20. Developing digital tools and resources ‘A massive problem of the last Apps (microservices) couple of decades of building instead of generic vs. these ‘one size fits all’ sort of ‘boutique’ resources solutions, which does not work either. Apps—it’s a different generation in software development…with apps, you let the community define what works.’
  • 21. Developing digital tools and resources ‘For example, I do not use Zotero, Respecting researchers’ my students do. I don’t know why practices except that I am too lazy. A lot of it is just a habit. I am so busy, I just focus on what needs to be done.’
  • 22. Developing digital tools and resources ‘It was as if the scales dropped Going beyond ‘ah!’ from our eyes, it was as we had experience seen the future. The world was the same and yet completely different and new. We’ve gotten much more familiar with these kinds of technologies and possibilities, we do not have that sort of ‘ah’ experience every day.’
  • 23. Developing digital tools and resources ‘We have now digitized a lot of Going beyond ‘ah!’ resources, we have those silos of experience information, so trying to manage the delusion of data is a priority, something that certainly everyone is grappling with.’
  • 24. VREs Floating signifier Importance and problems of combining corpora and tools Importance of developing research communities Key challenges/requirements: interpretative level; linked data; preservation
  • 25. Future directions and recommendations • Links within and among • Research questions as a institutions driving force • Educating researchers • Digital or only humanities – Crusade and social sciences? – Trick – Inspire them to think “Slow time” for digital humanities and social • Educating scholarly fields sciences
