AbstractIIS - 0736476Seales, William B.University of KentuckyChanging the Center of Gravity: Transforming Classical Studies through CyberinfrastructureThis project requests funds to support a two-day workshop to be held at the University of Kentucky focussed on computational humanities. The purpose of the workshop is to understand how new computational tools and resources have been taken up by humanists and applied to problems long considered out of reach, and at the same time revealed new challenges and desired capabilities for information technologies research. This meeting will bring together approximately 25 participants representing a diverse and experienced group of domain and IT scholars and practitioners. These scholars from diverse fields have all contributed to shaping through their work a vision for how computation, tools and underlying technical infrastructure can shape the future of research and scholarship in the Classics and humanities more generally. Artifacts and manuscripts essentially inaccessable for broad scholarly use in their physical form have been accurately rendered in digital form and distributed widely for examination and analysis by students and researchers. A specific expected outcome is an articulated description of the emerging state of cyberinfrastructure for the Classics and how it has been shifting the center of gravity away from the traditional structures and practices in the field, which has been in printed materials. The current and evolving set of tools based on technology (computational algorithms; digitization; databases; network access; tagged, indexed and cross-referenced archives) is substantial and collectively forms an impressive shift away from the traditional forms defined by print. A second expected outcome is identifying the global production and refinement of computing/humanities collaborative work and elucidate state-of-the-art progress in a number of areas.

Seales，William B.University of Buckucky改变重心：通过网络基础设施改变古典研究这个项目要求资金支持在肯塔基州大学举行的为期两天的研讨会，重点是计算人文学。研讨会的目的是了解新的计算工具和资源已采取了人文主义者和应用于长期认为遥不可及的问题，并在同一时间揭示了新的挑战和信息技术研究所需的能力。本次会议将汇集约25名与会者，他们代表了一个多元化和经验丰富的领域和IT学者和从业者群体。这些来自不同领域的学者都有助于通过他们的工作塑造一个愿景，即计算，工具和底层技术基础设施如何塑造经典和人文学科研究和学术的未来。人工制品和手稿基本上无法以物理形式广泛用于学术研究，但它们已被准确地以数字形式呈现，并广泛分发给学生和研究人员进行检查和分析。 一个具体的预期成果是明确描述经典的网络基础设施的新兴状态，以及它如何将重心从印刷材料中的传统结构和实践中转移出来。基于技术的现有和不断发展的一套工具（计算算法;数字化;数据库;网络访问;标记、索引和交叉引用的档案）是大量的，共同形成了一个令人印象深刻的转变，远离了由印刷定义的传统形式。第二个预期成果是确定计算/人文协作工作的全球生产和改进，并阐明一些领域的最新进展。
