Disappointed there does not seem to be any open data initiative to catalogue which books are available in which libraries.

The major player in the field, #WorldCat, is driven by a cooperative (#OCLC), but the membership fees are, ahem, substantial. I don't doubt they spend that money on their many tools and projects, but I suspect something more open and narrowly scoped could be much more accessible.

Am I missing any promising initiative?

Ever wondered how to tackle #multilinguality in #digitaleditions? In our @up_johd contribution (https://doi.org/10.5334/johd.174) we describe how we tackled #codeswitching, Early New High German #normalisation, #machinetranslation, and #HTR for #Bullinger's multilingual correspondence. The results are all on bullinger-digital.ch. And should be at the #openUpEditions conference @uzh_zde right now and have questions, feel free to ask. #digitalhumanities

Ich suche einen Artikel oder ein Kapitel, dass die Probleme mit (digital humanities) Daten einmal benennt, also die Problematik von Atomatisierung (komplexer Kontextdaten) , Normierung (z. B. verschiedener Schreibweisen) , Auflösen von Co-Referenzen und Mehrdeutigkeiten, eindeutige Identifizierung von Entitäten, Konfrontation mit unvollständigen, unsicheren, Fehl- und Falschinformationen. Gerne auch englischsprachig #dh #DigitalHumanies #datamodeling

Die Rolle des Absatzes im Lesen und Schreiben wissenschaftlicher Texte wird hierzulande verkannt. Anders ist es in englischsprachigen Ländern: Keine Einführung in das wissenschaftliche Arbeiten kommt am topic sentence vorbei. Im Deutschen gibt es nicht einmal einen Begriff dafür.

Warum das Lesen und Schreiben in Absätzen auch an deutschen Universitäten als Schlüsselkompetenz anerkannt werden sollte, erklärt Kornelia Kończal bei ➡ Geschichtswissenschaftsdidaktik: https://gwd.hypotheses.org/1236

There will be a 3-day scientific conference about the #Commodore64 / #C64 at the SRH (Heidelberg) this year - organized by Jens Schröter (Media Studies, University Bonn) and me. We've just started the plannings ...

Stay tuned for more information!

Can we just stop using Discord and go back to using forum sites?

I realize it's (comparatively) super easy to set up, but y'all realize it's just going to bite us all in the ass as soon as someone at Discord decides they need to turn up the profit ratio?

It's a ticking time bomb. The whole thing is going to follow the enshittification process, and anything of value on there is going to be lost/sold/destroyed.

From my perspective, professional forms should work without client JavaScript by default. They should validate on the backend providing good feedback on any problems with the input while persisting valid values until the form can be completed. Once those things work: go to town with the client code to make the experience even better.

If your framework doesn't support basic web form requirements it's not very helpful. In the case of React it's been frankly harmful to end users experiences.
