About to keynote my first conference in Japan! Speaking about @transkribus.bsky.social and all things cooperative tech governance, and the importance of community driven tech - and community walled gardens in this AI moment.

if you're a DH person (or humanities and data science person), our history dept participates in the DH and Data Sci specializations at the MA level, we're a leading dept of public history, I'm starting up a wee digital archaeology lab, and maybe you might find this interesting? […]

Such a "pinch me am I dreaming" moment today. That's me, at the podium of the UN General Assembly, speaking on behalf of IFLA and the world's libraries. What an honor to contribute to the WSIS+20 Plenary and to represent!

If the timing of my activity here seems off, it’s because I’m in another time zone for the week, learning about digital humanities research in Korea.

A hard problem with literary data is navigating btwn editions of books and what the "work," or the theoretical text that unites all editions. I've been lucky to work with @thisismattmiller.com and @mellymeldubs.bsky.social, who built a tool to address this + do much more arxiv.org/abs/2512.10165

Surely someone on the #DHMakes hashtag would be interested in “lead[ing] the establishment and day-to-day management of the Community Craft Library & Archives” at the Center for Craft in Asheville, NC? www.centerforcraft.org/news/now-hir...

Big congrats to these 23 projects that just won awards from the @schmidtsciences.bsky.social HAVI program! Please spread the word. (NB I've been helping the HAVI team on this program. This is a broad slate of terrific DH projects!) www.schmidtsciences.org/havi-2025-an...

I've collected a set of papers and articles that discuss errors in research due to software errors, in a GitHub repo: github.com/danielskatz/.... I think this could be a useful resource for many purposes, and additional contributions are welcome.

Applications by Dec 15

Thinking a lot about Canadian metadata sovereignty led to wanting to know more about the history of national union catalog development. Just found two sweet sweet sources. I remember UTLAS and AMICUS and have the protest letters when OCLC got it all. This goes a bit deeper.

Wrote a short piece arguing that higher ed must help steer AI. TLDR: If we outsource this to tech, we outsource our whole business. But rejectionism is basically stalling. If we want to survive, schools themselves must proactively shape AI for education & research. [1/6, unpaywalled at 5/6] +

A controlled symbolic music generation task produces piano scores with a desired difficulty level; an auxiliary optimization target for difficulty prediction helps prevent conditioning collapse, enabling more precise and adaptive score generation.

So delighted to be hosting my friend @hellejensen.bsky.social as an @ischoolui.bsky.social Research Fellow over the next 10 days! She’ll be giving several talks about digital history, a transnational look at Sesame Street, and a new transnational project on childhood during the early WWW years.

Beautiful day in Daejeon for my favourite conference.
