Abstract	PyBossa is an open source platform for crowd-sourcing online (volunteer) assistance to perform tasks that require human cognition, knowledge or intelligence (e.g. image classification, transcription, information location etc). PyBossa was inspired by the BOSSA crowdsourcing engine but is written in python (hence the name!). It can be used for any distributed tasks application but was initially developed to help scientists and other researchers crowd-source human problem-solving skills!

Abstract	Within the Teuchos Group at the University of Hamburg we developed a software package that integrates a graphical user interface (GUI) as well as modules for automatic annotation of manuscripts. The main advantage of such a system is that the user works entirely in plain text, not needing to learn markup, with the system only saving in TEI P5 once the manuscript description is complete. This paper presents our software package, which includes a module for generating P5-conformant manuscript descriptions as well as several modules for automatic deep annotation of the manuscript transcription at the phrase level.

And “the field” of Digital Humanities can be whatever you define it to be. And you fit in however you see fit. For me, it’s thinking about sustainability and preservation.

Abstract	The programming language Python is widely used within many scientific domains nowadays and the language is readily accessible to scholars from the Humanities. Python is an excellent choice for dealing with (linguistic as well as literary) textual data, which is so typical of the Humanities. In this tutorial you will be thoroughly introduced to the language and be taught to program basic algorithmic procedures. This tutorial expects no prior experience with programming, although we hope to provide some interesting insights and skills for more advanced programmers as well.

Abstract	The Institute of Neohellenic Research, recognizing the importance of study of toponyms (place names) in Greek history, has included in its research activities the study of names of settlements and lesser place names, in the framework of its Research Program ‘Historical study of settlements in Greece (15th-20th centuries)’. A product of the above program is the current database, ‘Name Changes of Settlements in Greece’, which aims at recording the name changes effected through official administrative acts. For the time being, the database covers the acts recorded between 1913-1996, from a period during which the practice of changing the names of settlements and communities became more frequent, due to the admission of new territories into the Greek state, and to administrative rearrangements at the local level.

Abstract	DM is an environment for the study and annotation of images and texts. It is a suite of tools, enabling scholars to gather and organize the evidence necessary to support arguments based in digitized resources. DM enables users to mark fragments of interest in manuscripts, print materials, photographs, etc. and provide commentary on these resources and the relationships among them. A principle objective in this project is to continue to develop our understanding of scholarly work processes in order to effectively support research as it is practiced now, while opening the door for new methods of scholarship to emerge.

Abstract	Europeana Regia is a project to digitise manuscripts from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, supported by the European Commission and involving five European libraries. During the project, a qualitative study was conducted to determine and rank the expectations and needs of the current and potential users of medieval manuscripts online. Focus groups were organised in three of the project’s partner libraries. Each focus group was dedicated to one of the user categories primarily targeted in the project: 1) researchers and academics; 2) History, Arts and Applied Arts teachers in high schools; 3) the interested general public. The study has confirmed the considerable interest of researchers and academics in this project, but has also pointed out their demanding standards. Compared to the existing offer on other sites, their requests are less concerned with new functionalities than on how well the tools perform, the speed of access and how exhaustive the information would be. Researchers are accustomed to working on the web and can therefore choose and compare what is on offer in the field of online manuscripts. For high schools teachers, the project is seen as an excellent potential teaching aid, but it would require suggestions for courses, themed presentations, selections (noteworthy pages) and a considerable effort to provide mediation (translated passages, reading in the original language, video conferences by specialists, analyses of pages). It is important to encourage them to browse around, in and through a marked space. Interest in the project is less marked in the interested general public, who would only consult medieval manuscripts and illuminated manuscripts from time to time, often motivated by family or cultural events. The illustrations are the main attraction for this public. Within the interested general public, however, there is one category very interested in the project, already identified among the users of cultural or online libraries: a population of seniors, fascinated by the process of how manuscripts are produced, calligraphy, paleography, etc.
