Technology has created a revolutionary paradigm every few decades it seems. New ways of doing things, new ways of thinking, new ways of processing our thoughts into action. The industrial revolution introduced new technologies such as the loom, the mechanical reaper, the steam engine, and electrical distribution. The telegraph, telephones, radio, and television were part of the communications revolution. The digital revolution started with huge mainframe computers that evolved, with the advent of semiconductors, into mini- and eventually microcomputers, The Internet resulted in yet another shift in thinking and acting, in communicating and working.

The global pandemic has resulted in the rapid acceleration of the digital transformation of many aspects of our lives—how we work, where we buy, and what new services and products are offered to us. But it and also exposed the inadequacy, inefficiency, and the sheer primitive aspects of the many processes, practices and policies governing the way we live now.

Sometimes, you may need to create a semantic map or diagram, but don’t don’t really like some of the tools available in Google. But don’t worry; there are some fantastic tools you can take advantage of. What’s more, most of these tools will save diagrams straight to Google Drive.

Call for Papers: Digital Libraries, Epigraphy, and Paleography: Bringing Records from the Distant Past to the Present Guest Editors: Stephen M Griffin, Independent Scholar (prev. NSF, LoC, University of Pittsburgh), smg21601@gmail.com (Lead Guest Editor) Michael Lesk, Rutgers University, lesk@comminfo.rutgers.edu Émilie Page-Peron, Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative, epageperron@gmail.com Brent Seales, Director, Center for Visualization and Virtual Environments, University of Kentucky, seales@uky.edu Maria Zemankova (prev. NSF, Program Director Database Systems, retired) Written expression is the most common form of recording and communicating the human experience of life on earth. This special issue will be concerned with written and inscribed works, from the earliest markings on stone and cave walls to the brilliantly crafted and elaborately illustrated manuscripts created by scribes in the centuries prior to the printed era. Epigraphy and Paleography research contributes new information to long-established fields in the humanities, social sciences, and the arts by studying writings, in many forms, that pre-date the print era. Many of these ancient works have been damaged, partially destroyed, or in extreme states of deterioration. While museums and libraries maintain numerous small collections, a larger number are scattered about, located around the world, lacking provenance information, improperly referenced, and held in poorly maintained physical environments. And perhaps most importantly, unknown and inaccessible to scholars for whom these might be of great value. Digital libraries research and development have had a transformative effect on these two areas, along with those disciplines that draw upon them. It is now feasible, both technologically and economically, to create extremely accurate digital facsimiles of a wide variety of cultural heritage materials and, in many cases, increase the scholarly value of the originals while leaving them undamaged, intact, and unaltered. New techniques for digitally reconstructing, remediating, and restoring manuscripts and scrolls have rendered many of these fully legible and coherent for the first time. Some accomplishments were dramatic, such as the digital unrolling and deciphering of scrolls turned to charcoal by flash combustion. Seminal funding for research on digital restoration and remediation of cultural artifacts and ancient written works was provided by digital libraries research programs. The advantages of digital versions of inscribed materials are manifest. They can be stored, copied, disseminated and shared, allowing students and scholars worldwide to collaborate on the analysis and interpretation of invaluable inscribed works for which direct access is not possible. Basic repository standards offer memory institutions the means to link collections with others of the kind, provided that acceptable cross-institutional arrangements can be made. Digital libraries technologies can offer much more by adding additional identity, structure, representation, and relational properties at the data element level – words, graphemes, illustrations, maps, and other elements making up the larger whole. For the scholar then, enhanced linking capabilities across mixed-media collections can enhance the data gathering and analysis stages of the workflow. At the same time, new toolsets become available for use and, in some cases, automate what were normally manual tasks. As a result, a scholar in one location can access, search and gather information from a large number of geographically distributed repositories and collaborate with peers in real-time. The benefits of these capabilities cannot be overstated. The impact is such that research that would have taken years to accomplish only a few decades ago can now be completed in a matter of months. Moreover, open access journals and open data practices provide for rapid dissemination of findings. Collaboration and unencumbered access to digital libraries sustain the interdisciplinary dialogues that move scholarly work forward. The complementarity of digital libraries and epigraphy, and paleography is far-reaching and likely to provide new models for other studies. Epigraphy is taken here to focus on pre-codex inscriptions – establishing the origins and context of creation with the aim of producing a readable, coherent work. Paleography focuses, in part, on hand-written manuscripts created prior to the print era. Like epigraphic scholars, paleographic scholars are concerned with the origins, and circumstances that motivated the creation of the work, with a primary interest in bringing to light the original inscriptions as well as those markings added by readers in the centuries following the creation of the work. Understanding the meaning and significance of the written content can then be studied by historians and other domain scholars. There is considerable overlap that supports transdisciplinary work. Taken together, the advances in the past several decades have led to a rapid creation of new primary source materials, enhanced access methods and new epistemological frameworks for evidence-based research in the digital humanities. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Digital libraries of ancient written works Innovative tools for access, retrieval, browsing, navigation and linking to external sites Research related to creating digital facsimiles of inscribed cultural artifacts and end-to-end workflow descriptions Multi-disciplinary requirements for remediation and recovery of textual content from inscribed artifacts International collaborative projects to aggregate and link digital collections of manuscripts Consortium arrangements and management mechanisms State-of-the-art applications of digital libraries tools and services for epigraphy and paleography research Applications of computer vision, computer graphics, and information visualization tools for rendering inscribed artifacts Interoperability requirements: metadata definitions, syntactic and semantic standards Data stewardship to develop sustainable collections and promote reuse of data assets Scholarly impact of specific projects and future needs and opportunities Important Dates: Manuscripts submission due date: October 1, 2021 Reviewing submitted manuscripts starts immediately after submission, and manuscripts appear online as Online First articles soon after acceptance.

Digital technology is advancing at an incredibly rapid pace all over the world – but it’s not happening evenly. Around 60 percent of the world’s population is now online, but most of those people are in developed countries. In less-developed countries, only one in five people are online. This matters because education, work, and public services are increasingly reliant on digital access. Lack of connectivity therefore is a growing impediment to human development. Fortunately, there are a variety of initiatives seeking to address these inequalities. In the private sector, Google’s Next Billion Users initiative conducts research and builds products to serve first-time internet users. Amazon’s Project Kupier and SpaceX’s Starlink have sent thousands of satellites into orbit to fill internet dark spots around the world. National governments are also prioritizing investments in connectivity. The Digital India programme aims to get the entire country online, and provides digital banking, governance, education, and healthcare services. Analysts predict that this could boost India’s GDP by US$1 trillion by 2025, while creating opportunities for marginalized people in rural communities. The United Nations is aligned behind Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’s support for universal connectivity by 2030, as illustrated through the Roadmap for Digital Cooperation. The Broadband Commission, led by ITU and UNESCO, has been working towards universal connectivity for more than a decade. Recently, UNICEF and ITU have launched the Giga Initiative with the goal of connecting every school to the internet, and UNHCR’s Innovation Service promotes digital access for refugees. UNDP has worked on extending connectivity to remote areas and vulnerable populations for many years. UNDP also supports digital livelihoods for women and is developing indicators to measure the gender digital divide. We should be encouraged that as a result of these and other efforts, the number of internet users continues to increase every year. Whilst we should celebrate these successes, we need to move beyond our understanding of connectivity through whether or not someone has access to the internet to a more nuanced understanding of the ways inequalities may be perpetuated or amplified in the digital sphere. Let us consider some of the barriers that still exist, even when there is basic connectivity. Even when network coverage arrives, the digital divide can still be entrenched by issues of affordability, accessibility of content and lack of digital literacy. Plainly, it doesn’t matter if you have internet coverage if you can’t afford a data bundle. It doesn’t matter if you can get online if public services are not in a language you understand. It doesn’t matter if you can get online if you don’t know how to use an internet browser. These are just some of the real impediments that many people face. And those that are most affected are usually those that are already at the margins of society. Ensuring that existing inequalities are not simply replicated and amplified online requires urgent measures. We must work to reduce fragmentation between civil society, the private sector, and governments to ensure we are coordinating our efforts. Work with our government partners to develop policies and expand programmes that prioritize inclusion must be accelerated. We must advocate for those left behind. It is imperative we ensure the opportunities of work, education, and public services that connectivity can provide are accessible to all.

In just a few months’ time, the COVID-19 crisis has brought about years of change in the way companies in all sectors and regions do business. According to a new McKinsey Global Survey of executives, their companies have accelerated the digitization of their customer and supply-chain interactions and of their internal operations by three to four years. And the share of digital or digitally enabled products in their portfolios has accelerated by a shocking seven years. Nearly all respondents say that their companies have stood up at least temporary solutions to meet many of the new demands on them, and much more quickly than they had thought possible before the crisis. What’s more, respondents expect most of these changes to be long lasting and are already making the kinds of investments that all but ensure they will stick. In fact, when we asked executives about the impact of the crisis on a range of measures, they say that funding for digital initiatives has increased more than anything else—more than increases in costs, the number of people in technology roles, and the number of customers.
