@tolonen.bsky.social at open language data panel at #DH2025: researchers have to prioritize the research questions. Scalability, expressed as interoperability, standards, data sharing are infrastructure tasks. Data publications, data releases should not be byproducts but actual outputs.

First thought was the book "History Man" (although based elsewhere & I get the same thought in most UK campuses). I was also thinking how will the humanities fare there in the long term.

Being based in Finland sometimes means going to where others are. My grand tour 2025: MECANO in Rome; DARIAH in Göttingen; ECSS in Stirling; cancelled Morrissey gig in Stockholm; CERL in Brussels & InkCode DH2 in San Miniato. To come: DH2025 in Lisbon next week & CASCADE in Helsinki in late August.

We bring news from The Past at #DARIAH2025 in Göttingen with representatives from dariah.fi (and
@tolonen.bsky.social )... In a surrounding that sweats academic heritage, and home to figures such as Koch, Gauss, Heisenberg and Oppenheimer. Look for them in city walls, look for us to chat!
