- 6. A treasure to be unlocked
- 9. Heard report on work from the Dive Team On from the marvels of reading and interpreting of marks on paper of the notebook entries … and the meticulous transcription into machine-readable text … and their tagging using Encoded Archival Description (EAD) with text in XML format* * * mark-up that software can process more easily
- 14. Work at the Refactory This structure is imported into Solr – software used … to control searching copies of the text (which have been normalised for more effective searching) … and for retrieval of text and images to be rendered on the website
- 22. web index was created from the Special Collections’ departmental sets of 180 binders comprising, in alphabetical order, about 54,000 loose-leaf slips containing varied typescript dating from the 1930s.

- The process of disintermediation
- HLF funded; UoE; BBC; National Trust for Scotland Launched Dec 2010 EDINA and the University of Edinburgh Information Services (IS) were contracted in 2007 to produce a Production Control Application and a Cataloguing Application (for web-based input of metadata) for the Tobar an Dualchais project. Launched in 2006, the multi-million-pound Heritage Lottery-funded project will preserve, digitise and make available online thousands of hours of recordings from the archives of BBC Scotland, the National Trust for Scotland and the School of Scottish Studies at the University of Edinburgh. The Tobar an Dualchais project is based at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, the Gaelic-language college on Skye. The collections comprise a wide variety of material, including: Stories recorded by John Lorne Campbell on wax cylinders in 1937 Folklore collected from all over Scotland by Calum Maclean in the 1950s Scots songs recorded by Hamish Henderson for the School of Scottish Studies from travelling people in the 1960s Conversations recorded on BBC Radio nan Gàidheal The project has employed more than 20 people, with skills in administration, computing, Gaelic and Scots. Digitising is being carried out in Edinburgh and South Uist in the Hebrides, and people have been employed as home cataloguers throughout Scotland. It is hoped that Tobar an Dualchais will stimulate the culture and economy of different parts of Scotland, including some of the areas which provided many of the original recordings. EDINA is developing the Tobar an Dualchais website .
- Possible focus future activities Usage data: including possibilities for new services that might be offered around it Second round of the Digging into Data Challenge. first round, in 2009, 90 international research teams competed - eight projects were awarded grants. In 2011, the Digging into Data Challenge has returned for a second round, this time much larger, with sponsorship from eight international research funders, representing Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The idea behind the Digging into Data Challenge is to address how "big data" changes the research landscape for the humanities and social sciences. Now that we have massive databases of materials used by scholars in the humanities and social sciences -- ranging from digitized books, newspapers, and music to transactional data like web searches, sensor data or cell phone records -- what new, computationally-based research methods might we apply? As the world becomes increasingly digital, new techniques will be needed to search, analyze, and understand these everyday materials. Digging into Data challenges the research community to help create the new research infrastructure for 21st century scholarship. Applicants will form international teams from at least two of the participating countries. Winning teams will receive grants from two or more of the funding agencies and, two years later, will be invited to show off their work at a special conference sponsored by the eight funders.
