About

Building a Digital Portfolio was a digital humanities summer institute for 20 art history graduate students offered by the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media, at George Mason University with support from the Getty Foundation held July 13-24, 2015. The goal of the institute was to introduce digital art history to graduate students in MA and PhD programs by training them in digital humanities methods and tools.

During the summer of 2014, RRCHNM ran an institute, also sponsored by the Getty, for established faculty, librarians, archivists, and museum curators. Learn more about their experiences on Rebuilding the Portfolio: DH for Art Historians.

Metadata: data about data, or descriptive information about a thing. Metadata is what you read in library catalog records or museum collections management systems. Wikipedia has a list of available metadata systems. Getty provides a glossary for metadata.

NLP (Natural Language Processing): enables computers to parse information from “human language” (prose). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_language_processing

OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative Protocal for Metadata Harvesting): “is a low-barrier mechanism for repository interoperability. Data Providers are repositories that expose structured metadata via OAI-PMH. Service Providers then make OAI-PMH service requests to harvest that metadata. OAI-PMH is a set of six verbs or services that are invoked within HTTP.” http://www.openarchives.org/pmh/

OCR (Optical Character Recognition): conversion of images (photographs, scans) to machine/computer readable text. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_character_recognition

Omeka: open source content management system (see above) which uses an item (object/image/document) as the primary piece (as opposed to WordPress, which uses the post. www.omeka.org programming languages: used to write the programs, functions, and algorithms that provide the background functionality of websites and software. For example, Python, R, Ruby, C++, and many, many more. public history: “public history describes the many and diverse ways in which history is put to work in the world. In this sense, it is history that is applied to real-world issues. In fact, applied history was a term used synonymously and interchangeably with public history for a number of years. Although public history has gained ascendance in recent years as the preferred nomenclature especially in the academic world, applied history probably remains the more intuitive and self-defining term.” http://ncph.org/cms/what-is-public-history/

RDF (Resource Description Framework): originally built as a metadata model, RDF is machine- readable and often used with web resources

Responsive: “a web design approach aimed at crafting sites to provide an optimal viewing experience—easy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling—across a wide range of devices (from mobile phones to desktop computer monitors)” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsive_web_design slug: (in omeka) the last part of the url for a page (exhibit page, simple page, blog post). So in http://mallhistory.org/explorations/show/operasinger the slug is operasinger. smoothing: from Wikipedia, “attempts to capture important patterns in the data, while leaving out noise or other fine-scale structures/rapid phenomena.”

SQL (Structured Query Language): most widely used programming language for relational databases. For instance, when you create a Wordpress post, the content is stored in a database, which is created and accessed using SQL. (from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL)

Structured Data: Data that follows a system of organization that makes it easier for the computer to manipulate it. example: XML files, databases.

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic): xml based vector image. These can be edited in some image editing

26 Building a Digital Portfolio RRCHNM & The Getty Foundation

programs, like Adobe Illustrator, and then exported for use on the web.

TMS (The Museum System): a collection management system for creating and managing metadata offered by GallerySystems

Unstructured Data: Free-form files with information that needs to be discovered and organized to be usable. example: PDF, webpages, .doc files.

XML (EXtensible Markup Language): A file format to describe, transport, and store data/information. W3schools on the difference between XML and HTML: http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_whatis.asp

Vaporware: hardware or software which is proposed, announced, and never actually exists.

Web hosting service: there are numerous ways to publish content to the internet. Most of the websites you visit or create will use one the following types:

1. Free web hosting service: offered by different companies with limited services, sometimes supported by advertisements, and often limited when compared to paid hosting. For example, Wordpress.com offers free blogs with limited capabilities. 2. Managed hosting service: the user gets his or her own Web server but is not allowed full control over it; however, they are allowed to manage their data via FTP or other remote management tools. For example, bluehost offers server space where users can install their own management systems and publish content.

The difference is important: free Wordpress blogs are limited, but easy to use. Access to your own server space is flexible and capable, but requires payment and more skill to manage.

WYSIWYG: “What You See Is What You Get” editors provide a toolbar at the top of the text box that allows you to change the formatting of the content. They provide an alternative to tag- and code-based formatting.

SketchUp Tutorial

For those interested in 3D modeling, SketchUp provides quick access to a suite of tools that allow you to create 3D designs and drawings. The modeling software, formerly known as Google SketchUp, is quick and easy to use, providing a useful tool for beginners or professionals.

There are a number of potential applications for this tool; constructing 3D representations of buildings to visualize space and relationships, to be thoughtful about perspective and proxemics; constructing 3D models for public-facing projects, art displays, or museum spaces, visualizing flow and foot traffic in meaningful ways.

Begin by downloading the software: SketchUp

Note: we'll be using the free, beginner package (Make). Upgrading to the Pro version gives you access to additional features (converting your model to PDF or CAD files, and allowing you to export animations, for instance).

Upon opening the application (after the download is complete) a prompt screen will ask you to choose a template. Templates establish the units of measurement. For our purposes, Simple Template - Feet and Inches is most useful. Click Start using SketchUp.

46 Building a Digital Portfolio RRCHNM & The Getty Foundation

A new SketchUp Make file opens with "Steve" and our blue, green, and red guidelines. Next we'll walk through each of the tools.

Use the Rectangle tool to draw a box on the "ground". Use Push/Pull to lift the box. Use Zoom, Orbit, and Pan tools to look at the box from multiple angles. Draw shapes and specify dimensions. Again note guides that appear as reference points to orient your shapes. Spend time using each of these tools. Delete items and recreate them. Use guides and make notes. Use Fill to set colors and textures.

After you've mastered these techniques, the next step is to build something intentionally. As seen above, 3D models can be made from blueprints or floorplans. We might also reconstruct items from maps. One thing to remember: the more modeling you do, the more you'll notice that some information is missing. Height, widths, depths are often unrecorded. Sanborn maps, for instance, establish the size of the building, but frequently, not the height. You may need to do additional digging to create 3D models that are as accurate as possible.

One way to approach modeling with a map or blueprint is to import the file. Click to create a new SketchUp Make file. In the new window, click to import and choose your source file. This Acropolis Map (Library of Congress) is a good sample to play with. Select all supported types and use as image (note, you'll need .jpg or .png. GIF will not work).

47 Building a Digital Portfolio RRCHNM & The Getty Foundation

Click to place it.

You may use the measuring tape to scale the map/floorplan. Simply choose something with a known length - in the case of our Acropolis map, we have a handy scale at the bottom. Choose the Measuring tool, click one side, then the other. Type the length (in this case 500' ) and hit enter. SketchUp will ask if you want to resize the drawing, click yes.

48 Building a Digital Portfolio RRCHNM & The Getty Foundation

After it is resized, you can now draw on top of the map to scale.

49 Building a Digital Portfolio RRCHNM & The Getty Foundation

You are now free to incorporate 3D modeling into your toolkit as needed! One brief caveat: be thoughtful about the application of SketchUp. it is easy to get lost in the creation process. It is important to weigh the adoption of the skill/technique against the limitations.

Additional Resources:

There are a remarkable number of tutorials available online. The best place to start is at Sketchup.

As the Alliance for Networking Visual Culture describes it, Scalar is “born digital, open source, media-rich scholarly publishing that’s as easy as blogging.” It is a tool designed for publishing academic work that combines the ease and convenience of publishing online through platforms like WordPress and the look and feel in many ways of a downloadable e-book, from the look of the page to the inclusion of table of content-like menu. Put blogging and e-books together and you have something that is interactive, hypertextual, navigable, professional, and easily shareable.

Scalar has a pretty good Getting Started guide, as well as instructions for more specific/advanced features, but all of that involves clicking around to different pages to try to find the information you're looking for. This is a condensed setup guide that will show you around Scalar’s basic features.

The main components of a Scalar book/project include: Pages, Media, Paths, Tags, and Annotations. • Pages holds your text (like creating a Post in WordPress), but Pages also holds Media, Paths, Tags, and Annotations. o Each of these components has its own URL. • Media can be embedded from importing files from their affiliated archives (Internet Archive, Critical Commons, and more), other archives (which they refer to Prezi, Soundcloud, Vimeo, and Youtube), internet files, local media files. • Paths are an order series of Pages. This is how you want your reader to experience the book/project. • Tags are nonlinear markers/categorization, which will be useful to create Visualizations of the overall Scalar project to tie in and connect the main themes in each Page. • Annotations is the ability to comment the media objects imported/embedded: video, images, audio, and text. Paths, Tags, and Annotations help create relationships.

51 Once you sign-in, you should be taken to a page that looks like the one below. This is called the Index. Here you can see your books (if you entered a title on the registration page, it should show up here), as well as some featured books. We want to get to the Dashboard, so click that link it the upper right hand corner.

The Dashboard is the hub for making larger scale edits (like the look of your book), as well as creating new books, approving comments, etc.

Let’s go ahead and create a new book. If you entered a title on the registration page, you can skip this step. On the “My account” tab, look at the bottom of the page under “My books.” Enter a title where it says “Create new book” and click the “create” button. You should receive a confirmation that your book was created, and your title should appear under “My books.” Go ahead and click on the book you just created and the name of the book should appear at the top of the screen.

52 If you click over to the “Book properties” tab, you have some options for customizing the look of your book. There are seven built-in themes to choose from, as well as the options to upload a background image, a thumbnail image, and customize with CSS and/or Javascript.

In the “Book users” tab, you can easily add, edit, or remove Scalar users to the book, making it easy to collaborate. Note: you will not be able to add someone until they have created a Scalar account, and right now there isn't an invite to join option or anything like that either.

53 Under the tab “Sharing”, you can choose whether to make the URL public and indexed by Scalar, whether to allow other Scalar users to duplicate your book, enter publisher info, add menu items, and select the scope of your publication, be it a book, article, or project.

While you are in the Dashboard, there is always an option in the upper right hand corner under your name that says “Back to book.” Let’s click that now. As you can see below, other than the title, there isn’t anything in my book at the moment. (I have picked the “Gloss” theme.)

When we click the “Edit” button at the bottom of the screen, we’re taken to what looks like a basic word processor, not unlike the page where you write a new blog post in Wordpress. You can enter a title for the page, a description of the content on that page, and your text.

At the bottom of the edit page, you have some options for the view, relationship, style, and metadata. We’re not going to go into this, but you can play around with these different options or find more information about them here.

When we click “save,” we are taken back to the view of the page, so we can see how it looks as formatted.

To create a new page, simply click the “New” button at the bottom of the page. This will take you to the same page the edit button did, but will create a separate page from the one you are currently on.

56 If we want to add media to a page, we have a few options. If we click the dropdown menu on the left and select “Import” we can see the different types of media we can include. Accessing the media is pretty simple, though the process for including media files in pages is a little tricky.

I selected the “Internet media files” option, which takes you to a familiar edit page. Put in your title, URL, and description.

When we click save we can see the video on the page, but it’s not on a page. I’ll go back to my Chapter One page by clicking the “Recent” dropdown in the left hand navigation bar and selecting the page. Then click “Edit.”

57 At the top of the textbox, we have several options for importing media, depending on how you want it to be displayed. I’ll choose the second option this time, which says “add inline Scalar media file” when you hover over it with your mouse.

A box pops up, and we can see the video I previously uploaded. When I click on it, it is automatically added to my page wherever I left the cursor.

58 In the edit menu the video will simply show up as a grey box, but when you click save, it will show up properly in the view menu.

59 So now that we have a couple of pages, let’s go back to the Dashboard by clicking on its link in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Click on the “Book properties” tab and scroll to the bottom. Click on “add menu item.”

I’m going to click on “CFP: Dressing Global…” and then click “add menu item” again and click on “Chapter One: Clark on…”. Hit “Continue”.

I can now see my two menu items I just added in numbered order on the “Book properties” page. If you want to change the order, simply drag and drop the menu items.

60 Click the blue “Save” button at the bottom of the page and then click “Back to book” in the upper right hand corner (scroll all the way up). Now you should see your menu items you just added in that left hand navigation bar when it’s on the main menu option.

Scalar automatically puts in an “About” and “Explore” navigation option. In the “About,” you have Works Cited and Acknowledgments, and you can edit these just like any other pages.

61 In “Explore” you have the option to view all of the tags in your book, as well as a visualization option, with different options for visuals related to elements of the book like pages, media, tags, comments, etc.

When you are happy with your book, go back into the “Book properties” tab in

the Dashboard and make your URL public!

Scalar has a bunch of little customization options for the whole book, each page,

the media, etc. that we haven't even touched in this tutorial, so feel free to play

around and explore those options. Overall, this is a great tool to explore if you are

looking to publish academic work to the web!
