Digital Humanities at the 2008 Texas Open Source Symposium
Home > News > Digital Humanities at the 2008 Texas Open Source SymposiumThe Texas Open Source Symposium gives attendees an opportunity to mingle with open source users and contributors in a relaxed, one-day series of discussions. The Symposium’s primary focus is on introducing open source to the college community.
The 2008 Open Source Symposium is free and will be held Saturday, April 26, at the C J Davidson Conference Center located on the Angelo State University campus.
James Smith, the inaugural digital humanities lead developer for the College of Liberal Arts, will be presenting a session titled “An Open Source Approach to Digital Humanities:”
The Texas A&M University College of Liberal Arts is working to develop a “telescope of the mind:” a digital research environment based on open standards and a robust open source toolset to allow faculty to create extensive and reusable digital collections capable of advancing research in digital humanities (i.e., the academic semantic web). This session covers the constraints we are working within and the open source technologies we are applying. We will also touch on some of the open source packages we are producing.
