The seminar Epics, Digital Cultural Heritage, and Vernacular Languages: Corpora and Databases in Oral Tradition Research, will be organized in Helsinki, March 1-2, 2013. This working seminar will be organized by the Finnish Literature Society (SKS) in cooperation with the International Society for Epic Studies (ISES). The seminar will focus on promoting the mutual development of applications in computer sciences, such as digital corpora and databases and other digital technologies in the field of oral tradition research. During the seminar the participants will be exploring possibilities for establishing an international www-infrastructure for oral tradition research. The planned www-infrastructure could be based on the development of a basic annotation scheme applicable to diverse oral traditions and frameworks, and adaptable to the annotation of culture-specific features of individual oral traditions and literary epics. This will provide a platform for oral tradition corpora and broader corpora of poetic traditions with an ergonomic user-interface allowing searches within an oral tradition, literary epic tradition, and across the epic and poetic traditions of multiple cultures according to a diverse range of criteria. The platform should be designed to complement and cross-reference with cultural databases, correlating features of oral poetry with diverse material related to other forms of cultural expression.
