EpistolART project, Artistic Correspondences in the Renaissance

The “EpistolART project, Artistic correspondences in the Renaissance” seeks to catalogue, edit, and analyse the epistolary exchanges relative to the arts and artists of the 14th and 16th centuries. It has been able to grow thanks to the Concerted Research Action (CRA) funding granted to its co-promoters, Paola Moreno (promoter and spokesperson), Dominique Allart, Annick Delfosse and Laure Fagnart, all four of whom are members of “Transitions. Research team on the Middle Ages and Early Modernity” at the University of Liège.

Podcast: Remixing the Humanities

"Remixing the Humanities ran for 36 episodes, from November 2017 to July 2020. The first four episodes establish the topical organization that extends across the series: episodes 1 and 2 focus on the state of the university and humanities education therein; episodes 3 and 4 on Shakespeare and the notion of relevance. These are also the longest episodes in the series, all clocking in at over an hour; the hosts make a concerted effort to keep later episodes within the 30- to 45-minute range, and mostly succeed. The presenters are all early modernists, and some early episodes are interviews of participants and digital exhibitors at the 2018 Shakespeare Association of America (SAA) conference. However, the majority of the series has a much broader focus, and the inter-viewees and special guests across the later episodes reflect that. Remixing the Humanities (available through all major platforms including iTunes, Spotify, and Google Play) often addresses issues of academic and intellectual labour, primarily in the American and Canadian university systems; the relationship between teaching and research; and the experienced reality of teaching on precarious, non-tenure-track contracts." (Reviewed by Ryan Netzley, “Remixing the Humanities.” Early Modern Digital Review, vol. 6, no. 2, 2023. 175-6).

Alamenciak et al.: Ecolink: Towards a Knowledge Graph Schema for Complex Environmental Systems

Research findings in ecology have the potential to drive evidence-based actions that could reverse biodiversity decline, inspire nature-based solutions to climate change and enhance restoration of severely degraded waters and lands. However, publishing findings in peer-reviewed papers alone is not sufficient to turn ecological research into action, as evidenced by the burgeoning field of translational ecology. Scholarly literature remains inaccessible to many conservation and restoration practitioners. While the open access publishing movement has increased the availability of research, the knowledge is still poorly indexed and unstructured, leading to inadequate findability.

We present a solution to these challenges in the form of the Ecolink Model (ELM) – an open-source schema for creating knowledge graphs that describe environmental variables, ecological processes and the relationships between them. Drawing on core concepts from ecological modeling and advances in biomedical knowledge synthesis, we outline a model written in LinkML – a domain-agnostic data modeling language – that captures the relationships at the heart of complex systems, thereby providing a structure for knowledge graphs. ELM establishes a consistent and reusable format that enables the discovery of new connections and presents knowledge in an easily searchable, intuitive way. Knowledge graphs that are constructed using ELM have the potential to enable restoration and conservation practitioners to easily access relevant research findings, to unveil new insights using graph data science techniques and drive an AI interface to provide plain-language access to ecological knowledge as described in the graph.
