Phonetic spelling exercise
Posted: September 10, 2016 Filed under: Moodle, Teaching 1 Comment »This exercise is an experiment in “phonetic” spelling, that is to say the use of orthography to capture sound.
In doing this, we are trying to get a sense for how people in previous eras might have used one spelling system to transcribe another language—e.g. use French spelling to write Middle English, or adapt Latin letters to spell Germanic languages.
This is not an exercise in the use of modern Phonetic Alphabets (e.g. IPA). If you know phonetic transcription, try to ignore that knowledge here. Read the rest of this entry »

I spent this week putting information into the newly updated database. It works much faster than it did before, and is very intuitive to use. Dan mentioned that he would like to see some screenshots, so please enjoy the following images:
Here we see the front page of the database, with two text boxes, one for the Source and one for the Reference.
Options will pop up after you begin typing which makes adding sources and references super quick.

Posted: September 2, 2016 Filed under: Research-and-comment, research-communication | Tags: force11, Methodology, open access, scholarly commons working group, scholarly communication, theory Leave a comment »…It is said that a learned professor of Heidelberg forbade his students the repetition of a certain experiment.
“But,” they protested, “it has always been successful.”
“Nevertheless,” he said, “its position among experiments is absolutely untenable from an intellectual point of view.”
The boys stared.
“The thing may answer very well in practise,” said the professor, “but it is not sound in theory.”

But does it work in theory? Developing a generative theory for the scholarly commons
Posted: September 2, 2016 Filed under: Research-and-comment, research-communication | Tags: force11, Methodology, open access, scholarly commons working group, scholarly communication, theory Leave a comment »The “Scholarly Commons Working Group”
I am part of the Scholarly Commons Working Group at Force11. The goal of this working group is to “define and incubate” a “Scholarly Commons”—something we define as being a set of “principles, best practices, interfaces and standards that should govern the multidirectional flow of scholarly objects through all phases of the research process from conception to dissemination” in any discipline.
As part of this work, we have been working on developing the actual principles that can be said to… well, this is a bit of an issue, actually—govern?, describe (?), organise (?), define (?). Let’s just say, right now, “develop a set of principles that will help in some way identify and establish the Scholarly Commons in some useful, non-trivial fashion.”

But does it work in theory II
Posted: September 3, 2016 | Author: dpod | Filed under: Research-and-comment, research-communication | Leave a comment »(A very inside baseball posting. Probably not of interest to anybody but me and a couple of people on the committee I refer to below).
Yesterday, I published some principles and rules that I thought might govern a “Scholarly Commons,” the topic of a Helmsley-funded Force11 Working Group that I am a part of.
Here they are again:
