A key message to emerge from the first Service Oriented Computing in the Humanities workshop was that communities of practice in the humanities are increasingly turning to service-oriented approaches as their data becomes ever more complex and dispersed.

This second event provided those researchers with a forum for intensive discussion, framed by a highly focused group of international speakers from the cutting-edge of service oriented research as applied to the humanities (with examples from music, archaeology and medieval history); as well as from academics working with tools and resources that have the potential to develop new research methodologies based around the service-oriented approach.

The programme of invited speakers included:

  • David de Roure - University of Southampton
  • mc schraefel - University of Southampton
  • Michael Meredith - University of Sheffield
  • Stuart Jeffrey - Archaeology Data Service
  • Xavier Llora - University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
  • J Stephen Downie - University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Participants in this workshop included humanist researcher working with, or interested in, advanced network technologies, as well as computer scientists interested in learning more about a new and rapidly developing area.
