AbstractThe paper presents Intergraph, a graph-based visual analytics technical demonstrator for the exploration and study of content in historical document collections. The designed prototype is motivated by a practical use case on a corpus of circa 15.000 digitized resources about European integration since 1945. The corpus allowed generating a dynamic multilayer network which represents different kinds of named entities appearing and co-appearing in the collections. To our knowledge, Intergraph is one of the first interactive tools to visualize dynamic multilayer graphs for collections of digitized historical sources. Graph visualization and interaction methods have been designed based on user requirements for content exploration by non-technical users without a strong background in network science, and to compensate for common flaws with the annotation of named entities. Users work with self-selected subsets of the overall data by interacting with a scene of small graphs which can be added, altered and compared. This allows an interest-driven navigation in the corpus and the discovery of the interconnections of its entities across time.

International audience; After more than a decade online, the ArkeoGIS project illustrates the benefits of data sharing. Thanks to free software bricks, and with the precious help of the CNRS’s Huma-Num infrastructure, this spreadsheet sharing platform has shown its efficiency. Users can freely select their language, chronology and the data they wish to share. With over 100 database extracts from professionals, research grants and advanced students, the tool now offers more than 100,000 spatialized data units about the past - in the Upper Rhine valley and also worldwide depending on users’ needs. In this contribution, good practices, hindrances and accelerators of data sharing among archaeologists and (paleo-) environmentalists on the ArkeoGIS platform will be discussed, with the hope of generating more sharing in the digital humanities.

International audience; The aim of the talk is to present the methodology used to reorganise the PACTOLS thesaurus of Frantiq, launched within the framework of the MASA consortium. PACTOLS is a multilingual and open repository about archaeology from Prehistory to the present and for Classics. It is organized into six micro-thesaurus at the root of its name (Peuples, Anthroponymes,Chronologie, Toponymes, Oeuvres, Lieux, Sujets). The goal is to turn it into a tool interoperable with information systems beyond its original documentary purpose, and usable by archaeologists as a repository for managing scientific data. During the talk, we will describe the choice of tools, the organisation of work within the steering group and the collaborations with specialists for the upgrading and development of the vocabulary while showing the strengths and limitations of some experiments. Above allit will show how the introduction of the conceptual categories of the BackBone Thesaurus of DARIAH, modelled on the CIDOC-CRM ontology, through a progressive deconstruction/reconstruction process, eventually had an impact on all micro thesauri and questioned the organisation of knowledge so far proposed.

International audience; This paper presents the Nénufar project, which aims to make several successive (free of copyright up to 1948) editions of the French Petit Larousse Illustré dictionary available in a digitised format. The corpus of digital editions will be made publicly available via a web-based querying interface, as well as distributed in a machine readable format, TEI-LEX0.

International audience; Several Research Infrastructures(RIs)exist in the Humanities and Social Sciences, some –such as CLARIN, DARIAH and CESSDA –which address specific areas of interest, i.e. linguistic studies, digital humanities and social science data archives. RIs are also unique in their scope and application, largely tailored to their specific community needs. However, commonalities do exist and it is recognised that benefits are to be gained from these such as efficient use of resources, enabling multi-disciplinary research and sharing good practices. As such,a bridging project PARTHENOS has worked closely with CLARIN and DARIAH as well as ARIADNE (archaeology), CENDARI (history), EHRI (holocaust studies) and E-RIHS (heritage science) to iden-tify, develop and promote these commonalities. In this paper, we present some specif-ic examples of cross-discipline and trans-border applications arising from joint RI collaboration, allowing for entirely new avenues of research

International audience; In this paper, we present an online communication-driven decision support system to align terms from a dataset with terms of another dataset (standardized controlled vocabulary or not). Heterotoki differs from existing proposals in that it takes place at the interface with humans, inviting the experts to commit on their definitions, so as to either agree to validate the mapping or to propose some enrichment to the terminologies. More precisely, differently to most of existing proposals that support terminology alignment, Heterotoki sustains the negotiation of meaning thanks to semantic coordination support within its interface design. This negotiation involves domain experts having produced multiple datasets.

Huma-Num is a Very Large Research Infrastructure (known by its initials in French as TGIR) led by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research and operated by the CNRS (the French National Centre for Scientific Research).It provides services to the entire Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) academic community and particularly digital services that are focused on research data management with the aim of helping researchers manage the lifecycle of their data.Huma-Num has designed and provided to the community a new storage service for large volumes (several terabytes) of cold or warm data, so-called because it is rarely accessed or modified, but which does have a high value and therefore needs to be safely secured.How the project was designed, the desired outcomes compared with the previous solution (iRods), the selected solution (Active-Circle software on generally-available hardware), the features of the solution, the network architecture implemented (deployment on RENATER through VPN) and the integration with an LDAP directory will be presented.The collaboration that has been set up with the MSH (Houses of the Human Sciences), the information systems directorates of the affiliated universities and with RENATER will also be described.A progress report on the deployment of the project in seven points of presence in France will be provided, and the project’s development opportunities will be pointed out. Huma-Num est une Très Grande Infrastructure de Recherche (TGIR) pilotée par le Ministère de l'enseigne-ment supérieur et de la recherche, et opérée par le CNRS. Elle rend des services à l'ensemble de la communauté académique en Sciences Humaines et Sociales (SHS) et notamment des services numériques, orientés sur la gestion des données de la recherche, ceci dans le but d'aider les chercheurs à gérer la vie de leurs données. Huma-Num a conçu et proposé à la communauté un nouveau service de stockage nommé Huma-Num Box et destiné aux gros volumes de données (plusieurs To) dites « froides » ou « tièdes », c'est-à-dire peu accédées et modifiées, mais à forte valeur et donc nécessitant une sécurisation importante. Il sera exposé la façon dont le projet a été conçu, les objectifs recherchés par rapport à la solution pré-cédente (iRods), la solution retenue (logiciel Active-Circle sur matériel banalisé), les fonctionnalités de la solution, l'architecture réseau mise en oeuvre (déploiement sur RENATER au travers de VPN) et l'intégra-tion avec un annuaire LDAP. Il sera également indiqué les collaborations qui ont été mises en place avec les Maisons des Sciences de l'Homme (MSH), les DSI des universités de rattachement, et RENATER. Il sera fait un point d'étape sur le déploiement du projet dans 7 points de présence sur le territoire, et indiqué les perspectives d'évolution du projet.

International audience; CIDOC CRM is an ontology intended to facilitate the integration, mediation and interchange of heterogeneous cultural heritage information. The Semantic Web with its Linked Open Data cloud enables scholars and cultural institutions to publish their data in RDF, using CIDOC CRM as an interlingua that enables a semantically consistent re-interpretation of their data. Nowadays more and more projects have done the task of mapping legacy datasets to CIDOC CRM, and successful Extract-Transform-Load data-integration processes have been performed in this way. A next step is enabling people and applications to actually dynamically explore autonomous datasets using the semantic mediation offered by CIDOC CRM. This is the purpose of OpenArchaeo, a tool for querying archaeological datasets on the LOD cloud. We present its main features: the principles behind its user friendly query interface and its SPARQL Endpoint for programs, together with its overall architecture designed to be extendable and scalable, for handling transparent interconnections with evolving distributed sources while achieving good efficiency.
