Teaser / Special sessions

This year we offer a Teaser Session of 90 (2 x 45) minutes in each week of the Summer University. During the first week there will also be a Special session of 90 minutes on the study of Japanese Videogames.

Teaser sessions will allow you to get a short introduction of about 45 minutes into the contents of two different workshops and to ask questions. Teaser sessions are open not only to all participants of the Summer University but also to the public. The aim of teaser sessions is at least threefold:

a) to allow the participants of ESU DH C & T to get an idea of the variety of methods, tools and questions which make up the Digital Humanities beyond the workshops they have chosen,

b) to arouse the interest of colleagues and students of Leipzig university and of other universities nearby and foster local community building

c) to allow colleagues and researchers who are involved in specific projects but do not take part in the Summer University to consult with the specialists ESU DH C & T manages to bring together.

The aim of the Special session is to show you work in progress and to experiment with the analysis tools themselves. The Special session is not divided into 2 x 45 minutes, instead it will occupy the whole slot of 90 minutes.

The Teaser Sessions, which take place in the same rooms as the respective workshops, are scheduled as follows:

Extract, Map, Load, Repeat: A Data Workout

Based on an concrete use case in the area of video game research, this Special Session will show how semi-structured data from various online sources can be used for academic research using Linked Data technologies. Participants will learn how to map flat (csv) or structured (json) data into semantic data using Karma (data Integration tool). The results then will be queried and visualized with an adapted version of the Wikidata Query Service.

The session also includes a guided tour of the [j]GamesLab, which is a gaming laboratory and also home to the Japanese video game collection of the University of Leipzig library.

Since the event takes place in a different location, we will have someone waiting for you at the fountain ("Mendebrunnen") in front of the Gewandhaus, Augustusplatz at 9 a.m. to guide you to the Campus Library.
