Abstract [es][en] El proyecto en línea http://historyofaboriginalsydney.edu.au/, con base ahora en la Western Sydney University, toma las iniciativas educacionales y digitales de hoy con una nueva dirección. Al dividir la ciudad de Sídney en seis regiones geográficas, creamos un sitio basado en el conocimiento de la historia de los aborígenes después de la invasión de los colonizadores ingleses. El sitio incorpora nuevas formas de etiquetado, línea de tiempo y cartografía digital, para mostrar múltiples senderos de la información en formato de texto, video y fotografía. Luego de siete años de investigación, podemos ofrecer en nuestro sitio web un balance entre desenterrar conocimientos perdidos y descubrir nuevas fuentes de información. Hemos incorporado al sitio web múltiples opciones mientras explorábamos el potencial de la cartografía digital y la animación para objetivos educacionales y de investigación. Al consultar cuidadosamente a los grupos profesionales indígenas del ámbito educacional, creemos que hemos construido una historia digital indígena de Sídney y al mismo tiempo se la hemos regresado a los aborígenes quienes se han visto privados de ella desde hace tanto tiempo.Este articulo está basado en artículos previos en inglés; ambos citados en la página web del proyecto (READ, P. & SUKOVIC, S. 2010 Piezas de mil historias: repatriación de la Historia de un Sídney Aborigen, Sociedades civiles cosmopolitas, un periódico interdisciplinario, edición digital especial etnografías; 2, 40-54; SUKOVIC,S & READ, P. A historia de un Sídney Aborigen digitalmente entregando el pasado al presente. Información en línea 2011: ALIA 15.ª Conferencia & exhibición 1-3 febrero 2011.)

Es possible accede al sitio sin algunos de los vínculos (links). La dirección actual es https://web.archive.org/web/20170216000824/http://historyofaboriginalsydney.edu.au The online project http://historyofaboriginalsydney.edu.au, now based at the University of Western Sydney, takes the educational and digital initiatives of today in a new direction. Dividing the city of Sydney into six geographic regions, we created a site based on the history of the Aborigines of Sydney since the invasion by the English colonisers. The site incorporates new forms of tagging, time line and digital mapping to present multiple pathways of information in textual, video and photographic form. After seven years of investigation, we can offer our website balanced between unearthing lost knowledge and discovering new sources of information. We have incorporated all these into the site while exploring the potential for digital mapping and animation for purposes both of education and research. After carefully consulting professional Aboriginal educational groups, we believe that we have created a digital Indigenous history of Sydney, while at the same time returning to the Aborigines the history of which they have been deprived for so long.This article is based on our previous papers in English, both cited on the project website (READ, P. & SUKOVIC, S. 2010. Pieces of a thousand stories: repatriation of the history of Aboriginal Sydney.

A History of Aboriginal Sydney ... digitally delivering the past to the present. Information Online 2011: ALIA 15th Conference & Exhibition, 1-3 February 2011 Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre.)

[en] “All Relate to Art”: The William Blake Archive and Its Web of Relations

Michael Fox, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill; Joseph Fletcher, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill

Abstract [en] The William Blake Archive emphasizes accuracy and objectivity. The photographed or scanned images are made faithful to their original objects in scale, color, and detail. The editors’ notes are largely bibliographic and informative. The illustration descriptions consist of precise observations deliberately void of interpretation. The transcriptions are as diplomatic as the digital medium allows. And the explicit relationships between objects in the Archive are material; one can see, for example, copies of prints from the same relief-etched copper plate, or a design carried from a water color drawing to an engraved illustration. The scholar must be free to make his or her own interpretations. Since beginning to redesign the back end and front end of the site, the editors and staff have realized that more kinds of relationship might be made explicit. The challenge has been to decide which ones conform to our emphasis on accuracy and objectivity. In a neutral presentation of art and its contextual information, we can’t tell the scholar that object X relates to object Y because they embody the same theme. That would impose on him or her our own interpretation. But we can say that X relates to Y because they contain some of the same text. In this paper we discuss the difficult task of digitally presenting more kinds of relationships in the Archive while staying objective. We explain how the task has compelled us to reevaluate Blake’s methods and reencode the connections amongst his works accordingly. We describe planned enhancements to our tools used for representing and displaying these connections--enhancements that would benefit all archives, not just the Blake Archive. And finally we gesture towards further research into the philosophical context of Blake's practice of making related art and into the idea of relationship in archives in general.

[en] SpotiBot — Turing Testing Spotify

Pelle Snickars, Umeå University; Roger Mähler, Umeå University

Abstract [en] Even if digitized and born-digital audiovisual material today amounts to a steadily increasing body of data to work with and research, such media modalities are still relatively poorly represented in the field of DH. Streaming media is a case in point, and the purpose of this article is to provide some findings from an ongoing audio (and music) research project, that deals with experiments, interventions and the reverse engineering of Spotify’s algorithms, aggregation procedures, and valuation strategies. One such research experiment, the SpotiBot intervention, was set up at Humlab, Umeå University. Via multiple bots running in parallel our idea was to examine if it is possible to provoke — or even undermine — the Spotify business model (based on the so called “30 second royalty rule”). Essentially, the experiment resembled a Turing test, where we asked ourselves what happens when — not if — streaming bots approximate human listener behavior in such a way that it becomes impossible to distinguish between a human and a machine. Implemented in the Python programming language, and using a web UI testing frameworks, our so called SpotiBot engine automated the Spotify web client by simulating user interaction within the web interface. The SpotiBot engine was instructed to play a single track repeatedly (both self-produced music and Abba’s "Dancing Queen"), during less and more than 30 seconds, and with a fixed repetition scheme running from 100 to n times (simultaneously with different Spotify Free ‘bot accounts’). Our bots also logged all results. In short, our bots demonstrated the ability (at least sometimes) to continuously play tracks, indicating that the Spotify business model can be tampered with. Using a single virtual machine — hidden behind only one proxy IP — the results of the intervention hence stipulate that it is possible to automatically play tracks for thousands of repetitions that exceeds the royalty rule.
