Transmedial Ekphrasis. From Analogic to Digital Formats

Experiential Analogies: A Sonic Digital Ekphrasis as a Digital Humanities Project

Humanistic uses of digital technologies have opened up new ways to think about, communicate, and discuss historical research. The common use of digital tools to visually represent ancient cultures and sites, however, has also introduced new issues. For example, critics have argued that digital visualisations, largely synonymous with reconstruction in 3D models, often attempt to represent a phot...

A Brief Introduction to Digital Music File Formats

Efficient Conversion of Digital Documents to Multilayer Raster Formats

How can we turn the description of a digital (i.e. electronically produced) document into something efficient for multilayer raster formats [1, 6, 4]? It is first shown that a foreground/background segmentation without overlapping foreground components can be more efficient for viewing or printing. Then, a new algorithm that prevents overlaps between foreground components while optimizing both ...

Package Formats for Preserved Digital Material

This paper presents an investigation of the best suitable package formats for long term digital preservation. The choice of a package format for preservation is crucial for future access, thus a thorough analysis of choice is important. The investigation presented here covers setting up requirements for package formats used for long term preserved digital material, and using these requirements ...

From Bialgebraic Semantics to Congruence Formats

A general and abstract framework to defining congruence formats for various process equivalences is presented. The framework extends bialgebraic techniques of Turi and Plotkin with an abstract coalgebraic approach to process equivalence, based on a notion of test suite. The resulting technique is illustrated on the example of completed trace equivalence. Rather than providing formal proofs, the...
