Lieber David,
ich habe den Vortrag unten leider verpasst. Gibt es vielleicht ein  
Video und/oder dürfte ich vielleicht die Präsentation bekommen?
Würde mich sehr freuen :-) . Liebe Grüße,

> Today's lecture in the Distinguished Lecture Series on Music and Digital
> Humanities taking place at the mdw — University of Music and Performing
> Arts Vienna will be given by Terhi Nurmikko-Fuller (RMIT University):
>
> "Bridging Datasets: Linked Data for Digital Musicologists"
>
> Abstract: As an information publication paradigm, Linked Data has a  
> great deal to offer researchers in the areas of Digital Musicology and
> the Digital Humanities more broadly. In this talk, I will introduce the
> basics of the Linked Data methodology, including its potential and  
> limitations, as applied in the context of broader interdisciplinary  
> spaces that bridge the Humanities and Computer Science. My case study
> example, JazzCats, illustrates how musicological data in different  
> formats from different sources can be successfully bridged, and  
> queried
> for answers to questions that go far beyond what can be asked of a  
> single dataset. The project aggregates three different kinds of  
> information, namely a discography, performance metadata, and  
> prosopographical information about musicians. These datasets come in
> three different formats; tabular data, in the form of a spreadsheet;
> relational data, as exported from a MySQL Lite database; and, graph data
> as RDF (.ttl). Although the value of this aggregation, and in  
> particular the benefit it has for researchers, is undisputed, the  
> project itself has fallen victim to challenges of institutional change
> and policy regarding legacy projects. This talk will highlight how these
> challenges in academia are particularly disruptive to projects in the
> Digital Humanities, and have far-reaching consequences for Linked Data
> projects across disciplines and jurisdictions.

> Bio: Terhi Nurmikko-Fuller is an Associate Professor, Information  
> Interaction at the School of Computing Technologies at RMIT University
> in Melbourne, Australia. Her interdisciplinary research examines  
> different methods for data linking and integration, and how digital  
> technologies support and diversify research. She is the author of  
> Linked
> Data for Digital Humanities (2023, Routledge), and has publications that
> cover a range of topics from the use, development, and critical  
> evaluation of Linked Data to gamification and informal online  
> environments in education. She has also created 3D digital models for
> the British Museum (cuneiform tablets), the National Museum of Australia
> (carved boab nuts), and UNESCO (Fels Cave in Vanuatu). Terhi is an  
> Honorary Associate Professor at POLIS, the Centre for Social Policy  
> and
> Research at the Australian National University; a member of the  
> Territory Records Advisory Council, Policy and Cabinet Division, of  
> the
> Chief Minister Australian Capital Territory Government; and a co-chair
> of the Australian Government Linked Data Working Group.

>
> "AI and Creativity in Music"
>
> Abstract: It may feel like the AI world has just discovered music, but
> there have been decades of research in music and AI. When we look at
> humans improvising live with AI we are asking fundamental questions  
> about what it means to be a creative human interacting in a world  
> infused by AI, and this is a question that transcends music. This talk
> will present some explorations of this question through projects with
> the Centre for Practice & Research in Science & Music (PRiSM) at the
> Royal Northern College of Music, featuring AI in both composition and
> performance.
>
> Bio: David De Roure is Academic Director of Digital Scholarship and  
> Professor of e-Research at the University of Oxford. He has co-founded
> multiple interdisciplinary centres, including the Centre for Practice
> and Research in Science and Music (PRiSM) at the Royal Northern College
> of Music in Manchester and the UK Software Sustainability Institute.
> David's research is at the intersection of music, maths, machines and
> AI, empowering the creative human in music composition and performance.
> David is also an advisor on digital research infrastructures, and has
> been involved in running the Digital Humanities at Oxford Summer School
> since 2011.
