A portion of the Q&A session following the presentations of the panel for Digital Publishing in the Arts and Humanities records audience insights into digital publishing issues and how we might develop support mechanisms for it at The Ohio State University.

Carlson recounts his almost 40 year experience with trying to disseminate his scholarship in computer animation through a variety of multimedia platforms, finally realizing many goals in the electronic textbook format.

Melanie Schlosser, Dr. Cynthia Selfe, and Wayne Carlson provided examples of digital publishing projects and explored issues involved in undertaking digital publication activity to identify opportunities for such initiatives at The Ohio State University.

Schlosser opens the session with an overview of how scholarly publishing has evolved and is developing in the digital environment.

Selfe offers insights into the possibilities opened up by digital publishing as OSU builds competencies and services by showing examples of how several projects leverage media and online platforms.

A portion of the Q&A session following the presentations of the panel for Visualizing "Big Data" in the Arts and Humanities records audience insights into the meaning behind the term “big data” and how we might develop initiatives at The Ohio State University.

This presentation explores the concept of a Humanities Visualization Studio for The Ohio State University and its potential role in leveraging “Big Data” to bring new insights and knowledge building in the humanities. Staley offers analysis of the unique approaches humanists might bring to working with large data sets and developing patterns of interpretive insight. He presents the concept of distant reading or macro-level reading as a methodology that is growing in relevance, initiating...

Labov shares her experience with Stanford’s Humanities Lab (http://humanitieslab.stanford.edu/admin/directory.html), Beyond Search (https://beyondsearch.stanford.edu/) and Stanford Literary Lab (http://litlab.stanford.edu/) as examples of how digital humanities labs can address issues involved in working with humanities big data. These initiatives are explored as examples of how such efforts to bring a humanities community together can work (or not). Labov suggests three lessons to be...

Ulman offers examples of different humanities visualization projects as way of examining the concept of “big data” and how we might set an agenda for a visualization studio. Interrogating the concepts of “close,” “distant,” “wide," and "deep" reading, he suggests that it is not the size of the data set but the broadness of the opportunities for investigation that should determine the kind of projects to be addressed by the humanities visualization studio. Ulman demonstrates how applying...
