Digitial Humanities implementation Grants - 3 views

  •  
    This program is designed to fund the implementation of innovative digital-humanities projects that have successfully completed a start-up phase and demonstrated their value to the field. These projects help us better understand the central problems in the humanities, and they also raise new questions in the humanities which help develop new digital applications and approaches for the use in the humanities. The digital humanities Implementation Grants programs seeks to identify projects that have successfully completed their startup phase and are well positioned to have a major impact. These grants involve, Implementation of computationally bases methods or techniques for humanities research; implantation of new digital tools for use in humanities research; implementation of new digital tools for use in humanities research, public programming, or educational settings; efforts to ensure the completion and long-term sustainability of existing digital resources; studies that examine the philosophical or practical implications of the use of emerging technologies in specific fields or disciplines of the humanties, or in interdisciplinary collaborations involving several fields or disciplines; or implementation of new digital modes of scholarly communication that facilitate peer review, collaboration, or the dissemination of humanities scholarship for various audiences.

    The goal of the collaboration between the Sloan Foundation and Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) at U-M's Institute for Social Research is the lessen the gap between the published peer-reviewed articles and the data they cite. They are attempting to make the research data for social sciences to become more transparent and open for researchers. The main goal of this project is to create, implement, and standardize citation that gives the producers proper credit.

Guiding Principles for Born Digital Scholarship and Teaching - 3 views

  •  
    Dene Grigar developed a way to allow digital media scholars to combine their work from different areas of studies. She found that it helped scholars work together and easily understand other's work. This program gives hands on experience for students that teach them that creating a website is more in depth and can potentially impact the modern society. They also need to understand that each students background is combined and implemented with different teaching methods to create a digital media course.

Teradata case study: A car company powered by data - 0 views

  •  
    In this article a case study is shared discussing car manufacturing company Volvo and their strategy in organizing their big data in order to improve their company as a whole. By implementing digitized reports in organized topics such as product design and vehicle diagnostics in to their large Teradata system, data can be processed and completed in one minute, rather than the hour it used to take to process a single query. Moreover, the Volvo company now analyzes a number of issues in an integrated and organized way. For instance analysts can predict failure rates of vehicles over time through the monthly stored collected reports of cars that have experienced specific failures. They can also correlate mechanical failures with the specific geographical areas the vehicle is located in. A car in urban Japan will most likely experience different conditions in rural France, and with DRO error codes (diagnostic read out data recorded in each car about performance and mechanical failures) collected through the Teradata system, analysts can figure out how certain mechanical failures connect to different locations. It is with this strategy in organizing digital information that Volvo can create large goals such as creating vehicles no one will be killed or injured in by 2020.
