Digital Annotation in the Humanities
[présentation en anglais]

Annotation is a familiar and effective tool for knowledge creation and sharing. The growing availability of digital technologies that enable various kinds of annotation, at different levels of sophistication, has made this practice almost ubiquitous, and contributed to reshaping our relationship with (digitised) cultural heritage. This talk wants to be a journey through applications of digital annotation, commenting on a rich, varied and ever-changing landscape. I will discuss some of the ways in which digital annotation has been applied in Digital Humanities projects for analysis and investigation, as well as ways in which it has been leveraged by cultural institutions to produce data, generate engagement, and even subvert narratives. Lastly, the talk will present some of the shifts produced in the practice by the introduction of artificial intelligence, looking at examples of how semi- and fully automated approaches are tested by researchers and cultural heritage professionals alike, and at what are some of the new practical and ethical challenges that we need to be aware of and, ideally, start to address critically.
