CFP: Improving Online Shakespeare Editions and Research Tools
CFP for a seminar at the British Shakespeare Association Biennial Conference
September 1-4, 2005
Newcastle University, U.K.
(NOTE: I think this is the contact person: Eric M. Johnson: [email protected] -- Here is information on the project: http://www.opensourceshakespeare.org/info/aboutsite.php)
I would like to solicit participants for a discussion of online Shakespeare texts and tools. We already have seven people, but additional voices would be very welcome. We intend to have a lively discussion of the subject prior to the seminar via e-mail messages. A description follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------
"The undiscovered text: Improving online Shakespeare editions and research tools"
Shakespeare's texts appear on scores of Web sites, yet online Shakespeare research is clearly in its beginning stages. The free sites offer only rudimentary search tools, and little flexibility. The higher-quality sites,
which are available to paying customers, have their own shortcomings as well. This seminar will focus on Shakespeare research tools and how they can better serve Shakespeare scholars, performers, and lovers.
The convenor is the creator of Open Source Shakespeare (http://www.opensourceshakespeare.org), a Web site with an advanced search engine and concordance to Shakespeare's complete works, among other
features. The code and database are free for non-profit use, and the public is encouraged to download and use them for other projects. OSS currently serves between 1,000-2,000 users a month.
