Dear #dhpeople ,

I am helping a researcher in #philosophy of #aesthetics to download hundred of thousands of #art critical reviews for research purpose. Many of those reviews are on the online databasis #proquest which my university pays for us researchers to have access to.
However before diving into a head ache of #webscraping I am wondering if any of you has dealt with this databasis? What did you end up doing? Writing to them to ask? #Scraping? How? Any feedback? #digitalhumanities #dh #Histodon #fedihum #histodons #humanites_numeriques

Comme je n'arrivais pas à télécharger des revues #gallica en #pdf sur plusieurs années, j'ai recréé un script from scratch qui fait le travail. https://gitlab.com/mardub/gallica_pdf https://github.com/CDHUppsala/Gallica_pdf . Merci à @Dorialexander pour l'inspiration. #bnf #dhpeople #humanitenumeriques #DigitalHumanities

Cher·e·s #DHpeople ,
Une chercheuse me demande de télécharger 100 ans de revues pdf comme celle-ci : https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k408635s sur #Gallica #BNF ... Avant de me jeter tête baissée dans les APIs et webscraping, je me demande si c'est le genre de problème que l'un d'entre vous a déjà rencontré? Si vous avez la moindre expérience avec le téléchargement de nombreux volumes de pdf sur #gallicabnf votre simple retour d'expérience serait très apprécié. #DigitalHumanities #DH #humanitenumeriques

Thank you #DHpeople, I took the suggestion of @tanquist and sent it to my researchers group. My reasons are: #wikimedia_commons looks flexible and may kill two birds in one stone: by directly storing all the images in a structured way publicly on a so popular platform the data will be more FAIR . However I see one technical obstacle: how do I annotate and point out part of a photo? There used to be https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Image-Annotator but it looks so outdated and impossible to make it work on my side!

Dear #DigitalHumanist ,
What is your favorit tool for annotating photos? It is for a group of #linguist/ #archeologists / #historian that gather photos of old inscriptions on stones. They want to transcribe and write all type of metadata about the images.
#Tropy looks nice and is probably close to what they want. A shame it does not support #xml though, and has no #cloud solution. #DH #DigitalHumanities #humanitésnumériques #humanitenumeriques

Dear #DHpeople,

what are your favorite tools for #wordcloud generation? I have used antconc (though not open source and not always working smoothly on my debian system). #DigitalHumanist #DigitalHumanities #DH

@thomassdavis good question. I cannot recommand journals per se as the researchers I collaborate with tend to publish within their own specialities ( history, litterature etc.). I liked attending the conference #DHNB. Which publishes proceedings afterwards. I know that in my previous field #NLProc there was no big journals before recently because it was a too new field. Would other #DHpeople say the same?
