]]> The TILE team is pleased to announce the release of version 1.0. The Text-Image Linking Environment (TILE) is a web-based tool for creating and editing image-based electronic editions and digital archives of humanities texts. This version of TILE includes:

  • Import/export of TEI P5, and the ability to easily create custom data importers
  • Improved workflow and accuracy using the Auto Line Recognizer (ALR)
  • An improved API for plugin developers
  • Enhancements and bug fixes to TILE’s interface
  • Detailed release notes for more information

A MITH-hosted sandbox version of TILE allows you to test the tool online without installing it on your machine. We encourage users to download a copy to install on their own servers to customize the tool. Users can import their own data into the software, or get started by playing with pre-loaded data of Algernon Swinburne’s poem Anactoria, provided by John Walsh at Indiana University.

The development of TILE has been supported by an NEH Preservation and Access Grant, and it is a collaboration between the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (Dave Lester, Grant Dickie, Jim Smith, Doug Reside) and Indiana University (Dot Porter, John Walsh, Jeffrey Mudge, Tim Bowman). We’d love to hear how you are using TILE, and what questions or suggestions you have, either in blog comments or on the TILE forums.

]]> The Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities will host a two-day workshop on developing APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) for the digital humanities. mith.umd.edu/apiworkshop The workshop will gather 40-50 digital humanities scholars and developers, who along with industry leaders will demonstrate their APIs during this “working weekend.” We will discuss ways that existing and future APIs could be leveraged for digital humanities projects.

The workshop format will consist of morning presentations and afternoon unconferencing. We’ll also schedule time for lightning talks. Some participants may seek to explore hands-on hacking of APIs following presentations; others may want to discuss ways that they could use an existing API. The workshop will include participants of varying skill levels and technical knowledge, and engage both developers and project managers. Once the participant list is finalized, we plan to kick-off a discussion online before the workshop so that we’re ready to make the best use of our afternoon unconference time.

We invite those interested in participating to apply for the workshop by January 14th. mith.umd.edu/apiworkshop/apply/ Participants will be notified shortly after the deadline. Due to limited space, we can accommodate 40-50 participants.

Questions can be directed to MITH Assistant Director, Dave Lester: dlester@umd.edu.
