King’s Digital Lab Technology Network
No full textThis dataset consists of a CSV spreadsheet file and a ZIP file with a notebook to process the data and generate a dynamic visualisation created in the Observable tool by Miguel Vieira. The data represents the technology stack of King’s Digital Lab (KDL). The spreadsheet includes a non-exhaustive list of technologies applied or considered by the KDL team in the production of digital research from its set up in 2015 to the time of data collection. For each technology, the data contains information about its developer (individual or institution), function, permission (Open-source, Proprietary), and sector (Community, For-profit company, University, Non-profit organisation). It also specifies, in the stack field, which technologies have been actively used by the lab (KDL) at the time of data collection, applied in the digital humanities legacy projects inherited from the Department of Digital Humanities at King’s College London or considered by the lab team at the stage of project conceptualisation and feasibility assessment. Based on this data, a dynamic visualisation has been created using the Observable tool. You can access the Observable notebook with this link: https://observablehq.com/@jmiguelv/dhlab-kdl-technology-network. The data was collected as part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie project, “Digital Humanities Laboratory: Studying the Entanglement of Infrastructure and Technology in Knowledge Production” conducted at King’s Digital Lab at King’s College London. The technology network aims to provide a resource for investigating how a digital humanities lab and scholarly research are embedded in the complex global and local technological landscape through which digital humanities institutions, the IT industry, and society are brought together.

Managing 100 Digital Humanities Projects:Digital Scholarship & Archiving in King’s Digital Lab
No full textDuring the 2016–2017 financial year, King's Digital Lab (King's College London) undertook an extensive archiving and sustainability project to ensure the ongoing management, security, and sustainability of ~100 digital humanities projects, produced over a twenty-year period. Many of these projects, including seminal publications such as Aphrodisias in Late Antiquity, Inscriptions of Roman Tripolitania, Henry III Fine Rolls, Jonathan Swift Archive, Jane Austen Manuscripts, The Gascon Rolls, The Gough Map, and Inquisitions Post Mortem, occupy important positions in the history of digital humanities. Of the projects inherited by the lab, about half are either of exceptionally high quality or seminal in other ways but almost all of them struggled with funding and technical issues that threatened their survival. By taking a holistic approach to infrastructure, and software engineering and maintenance, the lab has resolved the majority of the issues and secured the short to medium term future of the projects in its care. This article details the conceptual, procedural, and technical approaches used to achieve that, and offers policy recommendations to prevent repetition of the situation in the future

Workshop proceeding - Labs for Labs: A participatory workshop on digital lab practices in the humanities and social sciences
No full textBrief description This half-day workshop was designed as a participant-led knowledge sharing platform for digitally-oriented labs in the humanities and social sciences. Individuals managing labs (e.g., directors and software engineers), those affiliated to labs (e.g., project coordinators, researchers, educators. etc.), those who make use of labs (teaching staff, researchers etc.), or who have an interest in developing a new digital lab or expanding existing ones, were welcome to participate. The workshop provided the opportunity to share experiences and learn from others on both the intellectual and operational function of labs, aiming to exchange good practices for successful and sustainable digital labs. Two existing labs of differing scales and levels of maturity led the facilitation of the workshop: The Plant (Playground and Laboratory for New Technologies) at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Maastricht University and King's Digital Lab (KDL), King's College London. Format Half day workshop, total: 4 hours PART 1: Lightning papers: Sharing Knowledge, Wisdoms, and Practices Lightning paper session (75 mins) 5-7 minutes per paper c.30 min discussion Break 15 minutes PART 2: Design Thinking Activity: Good Practices for Sustainable, Inclusive, and Collaborative labs Brainstorming in small groups divided based on the above topics (60 mins): Break 15 minutes Convergence phase (60min) Round of Presentations of the findings per topic Drafting a Lab Manifesto Closing remarks (15 mins) List of presenters Maastricht University & King's Digital Lab - Workshop Introduction Alexander Czmiel - TELOTA, Berlin-Brandenburg Academy Leif Isaksen - Exeter DH Lab Natalia Ermolaev - Centre for DH, Princeton Sebastian Flick - Data Science Lab and Digital Humanities, Uni. of Bern Fabian Cremer and Thorsten Wübbena - DH Lab, Institute of European History (IEG), Mainz Michael Donnay - Digital Humanities Research Hub, School of Advanced Study, Uni. of London Alison Langmead - Visual Media Workshop, Uni. of Pittsburgh

Fab-lab Sloterdijk: Customized architecture through digital making
No full textThe concept of Fab-lab Sloterdijk is based on increasing the porosity of the border condition of the highway A10, which aims at vitalizing the Ringzone for future economic development of Amsterdam, and empowering the people with tools to make their life. To stitch the disconnection between Amsterdam’s go-to and no-go areas, the design envisions downgrading the ring road and turning exit bypass into bicycle highway – a new frontage of buildings along it. Towards a future of digital production, Fab-lab combines typologies of fabrication workshop and co-working space to provide a platform for sharing economy and open access to knowledge. The project challenges the current model of fabrication that factories are all excluded from the city by bringing fabrication back to a vertical urban factory specializing at prototyping and customization of products. Local production of building material is made possible with integration of robotic arms and 3D printers to fabricate with local collected resource. By doing so, digital construction with recycled resources enables customized architecture and builds towards circular economy. Fab-lab which houses automated digital fabrication will manifest itself through system of digital construction. Empowered by Fab-lab, the future of economy lies in the hands of people, who makes their own city
