[All] Day of DH

[Martin Wynne]

A Day in the Life of the Digital Humanities (Day of DH) is an open 
community publication project that will bring together scholars 
interested in the digital humanities from around the world to document 
what they do on one day. This year, Day of DH will take place on May 
19th. The goal of the project is to create a web site that weaves 
together a picture of the participant’s activities on the day which 
answers the question:

   "Just what do digital humanists really do?"

Participants document their day through photographs and text, all of 
which is published on a community online platform (which, for this year, 
can be found at http://dayofdh2015.uned.es). Both during and after the 
day, people are encouraged to read and comment on their fellow 
participant’s posts. Eventually, all the data will be grouped together, 
undergo some light semantic editing, and released for others to study. 
Beyond the original online publication, the raw data will be of use to 
those interested in further visualization or digital community 
ethnographic research.

It would be great to have a good presence for CLARIN in the Day of DH 
this year. All you have to do is register at 
http://dayofdh2015.uned.es/, and then post some updates about what you 
are doing on 19th May. As part of the sign-up process, you will be asked 
'How do you define DH?', so start thinking of an answer to that question!

Best,
Martin
