I've been hanging around at the Digital Library Federation's Fall Forum Order modalert, in Baltimore. Most of my notes are jotted on low-tech paper, buy modalert without prescription, Connecticut CT Conn. , but I did type in my notes on John Unsworth's keynote address, "Cyberinfrastructure for the Humanities and Social Sciences" (slides here) Here're my raw, ordering modalert online, Order modalert online, unedited notes:
Basic vocabulary of "cyberinfrastructure" can be problematic
Term comes from Atkins report ("Revolutionizing Science and Engineering Through Cyberinfrastructure"), Blue-ribbon panel funded by NSF
- NSF expects recommendations when giving funds
- ACLS panel more like an amicus brief, modalert online kopen, Discount modalert, and less concerned with how to disburse actual funds
"Cyberinfrastructure" described in layers:
- layer below cyberinfrastructure comprises hardware, etc..
- layer above cyberinfrastructure comprises "software programs, Kansas KS Kans. , Minnesota MN Minn. , services, information, Georgia GA Ga. , Comprar en línea modalert, knowledge and social practices" in specific local contexts and practices
- cyberinfrastructure itself lies between these layers, of enabling "hardware, modalert without a prescription, Pharmacie modalert bon marché, algorithms, software, North Dakota ND , Illinois IL Ill. , communications, personnel"
- most important is that this is a shared layer across practices and sites, order modalert no prescription, Pennsylvania PA Penn. , but isn't "electronic plumbing" shared by everything
We know what cyberinfrastructure for the sciences looks like [slide]
• Few of these components translate to the humanities and social sciences; only technologies for distance collaboration and software toolkits are applicable
What might these shared cyberinfrastructure for humanities and social sciences look like.
• Training and professional development for researchers; long-term commitment for an institutional support base, Oregon OR Ore. , Køb billige modalert, understanding of such training as "professional development" in the traditional sense
• can't support hum/SocSci researchers in same way as science/engineering [?]
• standards and communities of (best) practices; applicable across disciplines and contexts
• well-curated federated collections of digital objects; hum/SocSci objects are distinct from science/engineering ones
• digital preservation
• data repositories/depositories for the social sciences [how are these different from "collections"?]
• analytical tools "appropriate to hum/SocSci goals and materials"
• "tools, legislation and institutions" that address both copyright and privacy issues
Universities more inclined to invest in layer under cyberinfrastructure ("wires in walls", ordering modalert from canada, Nebraska NE Nebr. , "hardware and software") rather than people and "rich academic content"
• stems from appeal of one-time investment vs. long-term commitments
Emphasis on tools that will assist humans in their interpretation-work, Delaware DE Del. . Farmacia modalert baratos, (Michael Jensen quote)
Much of the object of humanistic inquiry is "non-computable" - difficult to quantify, etc, lowest price modalert. Ostaa halvalla modalert,
Increasing linkages b/w data result in increased risk of harm to subjects of social-science research
• looming problem of tradeoffs for subjects (and researchers) b/w privacy and convenience
Primary constraint for humanities isn't privacy, but copyright
• [**copyright slide; sheer volume of content being generated annually]
• copyright restrictions limit humanities research access to objects of study, discount modalert, just as privacy concerns limits access for social scientists
• "the ink on vellum problem isn't expanding; the pixels on screen problem is"
Questions of audience: focused on scholars, or larger public.
• crisis of scholarly publishing is a crisis of audience
