Work Dave has been up to
Active Projects
Project Bamboo, Corpora Space
Our larger MITH team is focused on community-driven design process to determine the next phase of Bamboo. Recently, I've been working to revamp a communications strategy as the project moves from a planning project to a technology project.
Museum Surface Computing
Microsoft Surface applications designed to be used in a museum setting to display an ancient Chinese scroll and Persian manuscript. This spring I'm collaborating with Alex Quinn to prototype three applications for use in libraries.
Text Image Linking Environment
We're developing a web-based, modular, collaborative image markup tool for both manual and semi-automated linking between encoded text and image of text, and image annotation. I'm the MITH lead, and we're close to a public release of the tool. You can currently check it out on github.
Our Americas Archive Partnership
Federated digital archives focused on a hemispheric perspective. The site is a collaboration between MITH and Rice University, and was launched recently at the conclusion of a three-year IMLS grant. During its final year I was MITH's lead developer on the project. http://oaap.rice.edu/
