DH
R&D in libraries(Nowviskie 2013, Nowviskie 2014)
“When a library can both support basic digital scholarship needs through distributed
services and create a critical mass of staffing and intellectual energy in something like a
center (however conceived), it has set the conditions for the advancement of
knowledge itself, through the fulfillment of research desires yet unknown, un-
expressed.” (Nowviskie 2014)

A library supporting research
Institutional context
since November 2011: DH Task Force, Arts Faculty (vice dean of research, faculty librarian, head of the faculty’s computer department, research support officer of the faculty, and all interested researchers)
2014: 3 new academic positions: Tenure track professor in DH (Arts Faculty), Computer Science for DH (Department of Computer Science), Human-Media Interaction (Institute for Media Studies)
2015: Advanced Master in Digital Humanities
A library supporting DH
White paper “Digital Humanities en/in KU Leuven bibliotheken“ of the Library Council of the Humanities and Social Sciences Group
(February 2013)
intention to focus on: digitisation projects supporting relevant grant applications partnering in DH projects, from inception to
completion (and beyond) providing training in DH tools playing an expert role in the field of scholarly
communication

Project example
OCR/NER for 17th-, 18th- and 19th-C Dutch books
Funding: SUpport action Centre for CompEtEnce in Digitisation (
www.succeed-project.eu)
Team: Digitisation services of University Library (Diewer van der
Meijden, Mark Verbrugge, Bruno Vandermeulen) LIBIS (Sam Alloing) Arts Faculty Library (Demmy Verbeke) Student workers (Jolien Berckmans, Els Meskens)
Support:• INL (Instituut voor Nederlandse Lexicologie)
KU Leuven & succeedgoals
End goal: integration of OCR in digitisation workflow at
KU Leuven integration of NER in digitisation workflow at
KU Leuven
Specifically: learn from digitising textual material with a
view to OCR (rather than as a representation of the book as physical object)
understand OCR possibilities learn how to enrich textual material with NER develop workflows, identify infrastructure
problems, etc.
KU Leuven & succeedcorpus
13 books from the pretiosa collection of the Gulden Librije:

Aletheia – build ground truth
ocrevalUAtion – compare OCR results NER tool for Europeana Newspapers – NERNE Attestation Tool – manually correct NERNERT – build training & test set
Conclusion
“This is one of the great opportunity spaces that the Digital Humanities
opens up, giving archivists, librarians, and curators a chance to not simply enlarge but completely re-envision
their communities, publics, and missions.”
(Burdick et al. 2012, 48-49)
