DH2027

Two German proverbs that I hate: 'sicher ist sicher' (lit. "sure is sure", kind of "better safe than sorry") and 'wenn schon denn schon' (kind of "if you're going to do it, do it right"). Too often, high expectations and an inability to deal with uncertainty and risks block reasonable progress.
The observable universe expands, but the GND gender vocabulary does not.
The call for papers for DHd2027 mentions 'FAIR, CARE and data ethics issues' (digitalhumanities.de/2026/06/01/c...). Dear Europeans, we need to discuss how we use the CARE principles in a total different context. It's highly questionable.
Here is my prediction: The US is going to win the FIFA World Cup, and we are all going to know it's rigged.
We have been working on a new browser-based GUI to publish data in TGR. We haven't presented it anywhere yet. We are looking for corpora/editions/collections to test it (currently only TEI-files, no images) or people who want to test it themselves. Let us know if your are interested!
Libraries: Come and use our data for your research! It's great for answering your research questions! Also libraries: What do you mean when you say that you think this data distribution looks weird?
The reading room at the Göttingen University Library is about to become a more colourful place! 🥳🏳️🌈📚
In three weeks, we will be presenting some old and new methods of how the repository benefits from the use of authority data, and specifically the GND, at the GND-Forum Humanities@NFDI in Göttingen events.gwdg.de/event/1407/
At #BiblioCon, the largest library conference in the German-speaking area. Right now in a session in which digital content is presented as being vulnerable to both political attacks, AI-problems and archiving issues. Are we in a crisis of the digital?
What does the Bible Say about Homosexuality? Part 3: Leviticus 🇬🇧 (1 of 5)
Die zentrale Botschaft ist unmissverständlich: 81 % der Befragten empfinden die Wohlstandsverteilung in Deutschland als ungerecht. Dieses Urteil zieht sich quer durch alle gesellschaftlichen Gruppen. ...eine deutliche Mehrheit befürwortet konkrete Umverteilungsmaßnahmen."
Eindeutige Botschaft: Mehrheit der Deutschen wünscht sich eine Umverteilung
81 Prozent empfinden die Wohlstandsverteilung in Deutschland als ungerecht. Doch die Politik ignoriert alle Warnsignale bisher. Die Kolumne „Gastwirtschaft“.

🏳️🌈⛪👉 @drcaroljoyner.bsky.social and I have edited an anthology about bisexual Christians in Europe. It will be published by transcript both printed and digital by August 2026, the digital version as open access (free to all). Pre-announcement: www.transcript-publishing.com/978-3-8376-8...
Am Dienstag fand der Betriebsausflug der SUB Göttingen statt. Eine der Optionen war ein Lego-Tag. Wir haben unter anderem Logos und QR-Codes aus Lego gebaut. Auf dem Bild sind Ubbo und José aus dem TG-Team zu sehen. Meint ihr, ein QR-Code aus Lego funktioniert? 🤔 Ihr könnt das gerne ausprobieren!😜
A important project that was imported last year: GRETIL (Göttingen Register of Electronic Texts in Indian Languages), a corpus of Sanskrit, Tamil and other Indian language texts. It is annotated with GND entities and Basic Classification. - Landing page: textgridrep.org/project/TGPR...
One of TextGrid’s best features: it can help you sleep better in the future! textgridrep.org/docs/publica...
Cool development: the Python library tg-clients. It provides direct access to all data (metadata, texts, images...) from the repository in Python, and much more. Here is the documentation with examples: dariah-de.pages.gwdg.de/textgridrep/... and here is a poster: zenodo.org/records/1070...
Over the past few years, many new projects have been added to the TextGrid Repository. One project for which we developed several features was ELTeC, which contains several corpora of novels in different European languages: textgridrep.org/project/TGPR...
This is a new account to keep you informed about the latest projects and features of the good old TextGrid Repository! textgridrep.org

Es ist so cool, dass ein Teil von Registry die Basisklassikation benutzt! 😍 registry.text-plus.org/edition/sear...
