Our collaborat...Digital humanities has grown and changed over the years; we have moved away from expecting technology to be a tool to make humanities research easier and faster into one where we are now equal partners. Our collaborative projects drive forward the research agendas of both humanists and technologists. There have been other changes too. The focus of our scholarly interest has moved away from its historical origins in text-based scholarship, although that now has many more possibilities, and we are seeing an interest in exploring culture and heritage more widely. Where the progress is slower is in our moves towards openness and inclusivity, and this is to some extent hampered by a lack of linguistic diversity. This is being addressed with specialist groups within the major DH organizations on a national and a global level. DH has grown rapidly in China, and the anglophone world could do more to engage with practitioners and potential colleagues in this new vibrant and emerging area. There are certainly Western centres that specialize, particularly in Chinese texts and historical documents, but this needs to be extended further if we are not to impose limits on the conversations, synergies and collaborations that can result.展开更多

Humanists are well aware that cultural knowledge, aesthetic value and copyright/ownership are not monolithic, yet digital humanities work often expects the replication of narrow ideas of such. Drawing on the growing body of scholarship that situates the digital humanities in a broad global context, this paper points to areas of tension within the field and posits ways that digital humanities practitioners might resist such moves to homogenize the field. Working within the framework of border studies, the paper considers how working across national barriers might further digital humanities work. Finally, ideas of ownership and/or copyright are unique to country of origin and, as such, deserve careful attention. While open access is appealing in many digital humanities pro- jects, it is not always appropriate, as work with indigenous cultural artifacts has revealed.展开更多

In this research, we develop an integrated framework for vehicle interior design using a digital human model （DHM）. In this framework, the knowledge-based parametric modelling function of vehicles is implemented using a commercial computer-aided design （CAD） system. The combination of the DHM and the CAD system enables designers into carry out ergonomic evaluations of various human-vehicle interactions and understand the effects of modifications of vehicle design parameters on occupants during designing. Further, the information on human-vehicle interaction obtained using this system can be transmitted to dedicated biomechanical analysis software. By analysing human motions inside vehicles using such software, we can obtain optimized interior design parameters.展开更多

With the research on the topic of open application of historical geography data in libraries, this paper tries to explore the methods of application of Historical Geography for Digital Humanities in libraries and how the libraries can use the methods of knowledge organization and Name Authority Control to help researchers in humanity area to use Historical Geography Data during their research work, and then publish the data on the Web to make it ready for open application and easily sharing with other libraries. This paper focuses on the spatial-temporal modeling based on ontology and technology framework based on Linked Data, which are designed for the opening application of historical geography data in the environment of Internet.展开更多

文摘Whether a new generation of human rights emerges in the digital age has sparked widespread debate.Academic understanding of digital technology remains confined to thinking about network technology and products,often overlooking the revolutionary nature of digital media.Digital media has the sweeping potential to unify all forms of media and reshape social life,giving rise to new demands for a new generation of human rights.The concept of digital human rights can be defined as the legitimate rights of human's infinitely extended personalities through digital media.Its core characteristic is its transcendency,where every person lives in a networked space that surpasses physical boundaries,nations,and individual personalities.Human rights are generally considered the foundation for basic constitutional rights,which,in turn,form the basis for legislative acts across various sectors.In recent years,China has enacted numerous laws in the digital domain to keep pace with the times,but due to the lack of guidance on digital human rights,these laws tend to be fragmented and disjointed.It is urgent to unify digital legislation at all levels on the basis of reshaping basic constitutional rights.Thus,it is essential to reshape the basic rights based on the concept and characteristics of digital human rights and streamline legislation at all levels under the unified guidance of basic rights.This can help establish a comprehensive digital human rights protection system that meets the demands of the modern era.
文摘This action research which situates itself in the context of Digital Humanities focuses on engaging students of Introductory Chinese course with an assignment to create podcasts in the form of an interview.Requiring students to integrate the aural,oral,and textural information via technology so as to carry a conversation with an interlocutor challenges them to convey their thoughts from the language they think in into meaningful ideas using the target language.In this way,students are“pushed”to convert their listening,speaking,and writing from being isolated components into a more dynamic and cohesive mode of communicating.As they explore expressing their ideas in the language they are learning,they develop the skills and sensibility needed to critically analyze their own work.Although limited in scale,the podcast format urges students to transform what they need to learn into a familiar product.

文摘In recent years,significant advancements in educational technology,particularly the rise of online learning platforms,have transformed the way students engage with educational content.Most students currently access learning materials through live streaming or pre-recorded courses,but live sessions are often confronted with scheduling conflicts between instructors and students,thereby limiting their accessibility.This compels numerous students to opt for pre-recorded lessons,which,despite offering flexibility,lack real-time interaction and direct guidance.The unavailability of professional educators creates a challenge for parents,who are frequently unable to assist their children effectively with academic difficulties.Consequently,when students encounter obstacles during self-paced learning involving pre-recorded materials,their motivation to continue diminishes considerably.To address these challenges,this study developed an intelligent digital human-based teaching system that leverages the capabilities of large language models to provide personalized,interactive,and real-time support.It is designed to simulate the presence of a human instructor,enhancing the learning experience by offering tailored guidance,answering queries,and adapting to individual progress,features that ultimately foster a more engaging and efficient educational process.The proposed solution seeks to bridge the gap between the flexibility of pre-recorded lessons and the interactive,instantaneous engagement typically associated with live courses.
文摘Digital humanities has grown and changed over the years; we have moved away from expecting technology to be a tool to make humanities research easier and faster into one where we are now equal partners. Our collaborative projects drive forward the research agendas of both humanists and technologists. There have been other changes too. The focus of our scholarly interest has moved away from its historical origins in text-based scholarship, although that now has many more possibilities, and we are seeing an interest in exploring culture and heritage more widely. Where the progress is slower is in our moves towards openness and inclusivity, and this is to some extent hampered by a lack of linguistic diversity. This is being addressed with specialist groups within the major DH organizations on a national and a global level. DH has grown rapidly in China, and the anglophone world could do more to engage with practitioners and potential colleagues in this new vibrant and emerging area. There are certainly Western centres that specialize, particularly in Chinese texts and historical documents, but this needs to be extended further if we are not to impose limits on the conversations, synergies and collaborations that can result.
文摘As scholars have begun the digitization of the word＇s cultural materials, the understanding of what is to be digitized and how that digitization occurs remains narrowly imagined, with a distinct bias toward North American and European notions of culture, value and ownership. Humanists are well aware that cultural knowledge, aesthetic value and copyright/ownership are not monolithic, yet digital humanities work often expects the replication of narrow ideas of such. Drawing on the growing body of scholarship that situates the digital humanities in a broad global context, this paper points to areas of tension within the field and posits ways that digital humanities practitioners might resist such moves to homogenize the field. Working within the framework of border studies, the paper considers how working across national barriers might further digital humanities work. Finally, ideas of ownership and/or copyright are unique to country of origin and, as such, deserve careful attention. While open access is appealing in many digital humanities pro- jects, it is not always appropriate, as work with indigenous cultural artifacts has revealed.

文摘Evaluating the human friendliness of vehicles is essential for designing new vehicles since large numbers of human-machine interactions occur frequently inside vehicles. In this research, we develop an integrated framework for vehicle interior design using a digital human model （DHM）. In this framework, the knowledge-based parametric modelling function of vehicles is implemented using a commercial computer-aided design （CAD） system. The combination of the DHM and the CAD system enables designers into carry out ergonomic evaluations of various human-vehicle interactions and understand the effects of modifications of vehicle design parameters on occupants during designing. Further, the information on human-vehicle interaction obtained using this system can be transmitted to dedicated biomechanical analysis software. By analysing human motions inside vehicles using such software, we can obtain optimized interior design parameters.

文摘In the application domain of digital humanities network visualization is increasingly being used to conduct research as the main interests of the domain experts lie in exploring and analyzing relationships between entities and their changes over time.Visualizing the dynamics and different perspectives of such data is a non-trivial task but it enables researchers to explore connections between disparate entities and investigate historical narratives that emerge.In this paper we present Circular,an interactive exploration environment to visualize event-based networks and support research in digital humanities through visualization of historical subjects in space and time.Our radial design is the result of iterative collaboration with domain experts,and we discuss the process of collaborative development and exploration of public music festivities in Vienna as an example of immersive development methodology.We validate our approach by means of both domain and visualization expert interviews and show the potential of this approach in supporting the visual exploration of historical subjects.We discuss our design rationales,visual encodings,and interactions as to allow the reproducibility of this approach within a framework of transdisciplinary collaboration with digital humanities.
文摘The spatial information of literature refers to the representation of physical or conscious space in literary works,including position,shape,structure,features,and relationships.The spatial information organization and its method are essential to the whole process of literature production,circulation,acceptance,and reproduction,which is conducive to a deeper exploration of the aesthetic essence of literature in the information era.Taking the organization of spatial information in science fiction as an example,this paper investigates the way of interaction between informatics and literature,explores the function of spatial information in the narrative of science fiction,and discovers digital humanistic laws of literary information organization.This study finds that the spatial information of early science fiction is organized in horizontal,vertical,axial,and causal modes;in the era of digital humanities,influenced by information technology such as the internet,virtual reality,and artificial intelligence,literary space has experienced revolutions characteristic of time-space integration,boundary dissolution,dimensional change,and virtualization;the spatial information organization of contemporary science fiction adopts nested,reticulated,parallel,interactive,and reverse patterns;on the whole,it is featured with fluidity,chaos,correlation,and mutation,creating a unique digital humanistic spectacle.
