Building a Virtual Research Environment for the Humanities Ruth Kirkham – Project Manager John Pybus – Technical Support Oxford Internet Institute 7 February 2006

The humanities division at Oxford University wanted to create a virtual environment to assist researchers with their work The BVREH is a 15 month project to investigate the suitability of a VRE within the Humanities at Oxford The project breaks down into three main stages …

Stage One: Detailed ICT user requirements survey, initially of Oxford humanities researchers Stage Two: Three to four demonstrator tools Stage Three: Recommendations as to what might be included in a fully fledged humanities VRE

Supporting the ‘Mechanism of Research’ Many of the same, generic needs have been expressed time after time

Discovery Searchable lists of conferences and seminars Information regarding grants and funding – Working with Research Services Research Discovery Service (RDS) – Database of research interests – Enables collaboration

Making information available to others Assistance in Publishing online – Personal Content Management System Institutional Repository

Communications Video Conferencing/Access Grid Chat facilities (IRC) Voice over IP (VoIP)

Access Grid Node at the Centre for e-Research at the University of Bristol

Tools to support the Humanities Researcher Current stage – About to build prototype/mock-up tools – Exactly what still being finalized

Research Find Material – Search on terms View; Identify items of interest Organise; make notes Compare; process – Use specialised tools – Maybe consult with collaborator Repeat the above Compose output to great acclaim

Locating Material Search on-line databases Cross Search multiple sources Provide a Front End to ease this rather than replacement for existing sources Retrieve and Integrate data from multiple sources – DataGrids

a Personal Space Store View Organise Annotate...

Virtual Lightbox Embeds in Browser Java Multiple Images Multiple sites –Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities

Virtual Lightbox

VLMA Extension to Virtual Lightbox Reading University & Max Planck Institute for the History of ScienceMax Planck Institute for the History of Science Sponsored by the JISC

VLMA Uses RDF Not concurrent views, but can save and distribute a view Requires Java plug-ins (rather immature)

RDF Resource Description Framework W3C standard to represent metadata SubjectObject Predicate

a Common Space Researcher has personal Collection & Notes Shares part with collaborator Both view/edit remotely Combine with communication tools – VoIP – Chat (IRC) Communicate back to data source maintainer – Assisted by SemWeb infrastructure
