New article out on code4lib:
"Static Web Methodology as a Sustainable Approach to Digital Humanities Projects"

This short paper introduces static web development methodology (titled “Lib-Static”) as a provocation to rethink DH infrastructure choices, asking how our frameworks can build internal skills, collaboration, and empowerment to generate more sustainable digital projects.

New Pre-Print

We introduce the "Corpus of Resolutions: UN Security Council (CR-UNSC)", a novel international legal-political dataset containing texts and metadata for all resolutions of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) from resolution 1 (1946) through resolution 2722 (2024), as published by the UN Digital Library (UNDL).

Pre-Print: https://zenodo.org/records/15191558/files/Fobbe-Gasbarri-Ridi_2025_Words-of-Power-Introducing-UN-Security-Council-Resolutions-Corpus.pdf?download=1

The dataset provides full resolution texts in all six official UN languages, draft texts and full meeting records in English, as well as dozens of metadata variables, for a grand total of 82 variables in structured tabular CSV format, accompanied by extensive narrative documentation. In addition to the main tabular dataset the CR-UNSC is accompanied by specialized variants for network analysis and bibliography management.

The computational workflow is engineered as a fully automated end-to-end extract-transform-load (ETL) data pipeline with citation analysis and NLP components, unit tests and extensive reporting. The declarative workflow is fault-tolerant, resumable and stores intermediate results in over one hundred individual checkpoints. The code is published open source under the GNU General Public License Version 3 (GPLv3).

We intend to update the corpus at least once per year.

The most recent version of the CR-UNSC corpus will always be available open access via Zenodo through its Concept DOI located at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7319783

I've written a new blog post on the #Trove API keys debacle that answers some questions raised by my first two posts, and provides some updates on recent actions by the National Library of Australia. https://updates.timsherratt.org/2025/04/11/update-on-trove-data-access.html Please share!

#GLAM #histodons @histodons #digitalHumanities

The #European Association for Digital Humanities has landed on fedihum.org Give it a cheers and a follow @eadh ! #DigitalHumanities #fediverse #neuhier #introduction @admin

If you're a #Trove API user who has received an email from Trove's 'Community Liaison Team' asking you to confirm acceptance of the API terms of use, you might want to read this for background: https://updates.timsherratt.org/2025/03/02/trove-api-users-beware-the.html

The email doesn't actually explain what has changed in the terms of use. In particular it doesn't explain that downloading digitised newspaper text from the API is a breach of the terms of use and requires an individual exemption. I'm working on a new post with more details. #histodons #GLAM #digitalHumanities

New article explores the work of Nestoras Papanikolopoulos, a pioneer of digital art in Greece since 1984. A vital step in recognizing early computer-based art and its marginalization in official discourse.
