28. Everett G. Martin, BA'49 (02:28)

Date:
2014
Main contributors:
Martin, Everett G.
Summary:
Everett G. Martin spent his career reporting from some of the world’s most turbulent locales. He was Newsweek’s bureau chief in Saigon during the war in Vietnam and covered the 1973 Chilean coup for The Wall Street Journal. During his time in Vietnam, he befriended author John Steinbeck, who later said Martin’s work was “some of the best reporting I have ever read.” Martin’s first overseas adventure was as a college student, when he shipped out one summer as a cabin boy on freighter going to Cuba. At IU, he was a night editor and city editor of the Indiana Daily Student. After graduation, he started his career at the City News Bureau of Chicago at $15 a week. From there, he went to the Elkhart Truth and then to the Christian Science Monitor. In 1958, the Monitor sent him to cover the auto industry in Detroit, where The Wall Street Journal later hired him. He moved to New York City, and continued to cover labor and the auto industry. Martin’s next move was to Time magazine to write about business. He followed his editor to Newsweek, where he worked as deputy foreign editor and covered the United Nations. In the early 1960s, he was given his first overseas assignment: a temporary posting in Hong Kong. He covered Singapore’s expulsion from Malaysia and the India-Pakistani war so effectively that Newsweek made him a permanent foreign correspondent. In January 1966, Martin was sent to Saigon to set up Newsweek’s bureau. He reported on the war, ran the bureau and briefed visiting dignitaries such as Edward Kennedy and Richard Nixon. Martin was expelled from Vietnam in 1968 for reporting on government corruption. Newsweek assigned Martin as Hong Kong bureau chief covering Southeast Asia. He traveled with Filipino Sen. Benigno Aquino during his campaign against President Ferdinand Marcos. He returned to Boston, where he spent a year as an associate professor in the Edward R. Murrow Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. The Wall Street Journal then hired him to cover South America, which he did for 18 years. His work won the Overseas Press Club’s Ed Stout Award in 1973 and Columbia University’s Maria Moors Cabot Prize in 1983. He retired in 1988 and died in 2013.

30. Globalization of the US: From Digital Research Project to Digital Library Services (49:09)

Date:
2014-12-10
Main contributors:
Dalmau, Michelle, Dowell, Erika
Summary:
As part of an exhibition at the Lilly Library entitled The Globalization of the United States, 1789-1861 scheduled to open September 15, historian Konstantin Dierks and librarians Erika Dowell and Michelle Dalmau have partnered to create a digital counterpart to the physical exhibit that includes an interactive, map-based visualization. The visualization tracks several data points or ‰ÛÏfacets‰Û about U.S. interventions in the rest of the globe, from diplomatic missions to stationed military squadrons. As Dierks describes, it provides a tool for scholars and students to investigate how ‰ÛÏthe United States, no longer swaddled within the British empire, sought to recalibrate its interaction with the wider world as an independent nation.‰Û This presentation will focus primarily on one component of the digital exhibit, the map-based visualizations, and how we in the libraries have been able to use this project as a use case for generalizing research-oriented treatment of geospatial and temporal data. By abstracting the data gathering and mapping processes and building workflows to support these activities, we have the beginnings of a services-oriented approach to map-based discovery and inquiry that could be leveraged by other digital research projects at Indiana University. As part of this presentation we will: a) evaluate the various map-based tools with which we experimented including SIMILE Exhibit, Google Fusion, Neatline, and Leaflet, b) review the metadata challenges particular to this project and how they can be abstracted for future projects, and c) relay lessons learned when working with historical maps. We will conclude by proposing a model established by Professor Dierk's project team, using a combination of tools and techniques referenced above, as a way forward in supporting map-based digital research projects more generally.

32. HathiTrust Research Center Data Capsule v1.0: An Overview of Functionality (42:14)

Main contributors:
Plale, Beth, Zeng, Jiaan, McDonald, Robert, Chen, Miao
Summary:
The first mode of access by the community of digital humanities and informatics researchers and educators to the copyrighted content of the HathiTrust digital repository will be to extracted statistical and aggregated information about the copyrighted texts. But can the HathiTrust Research Center support scientific research that allows a researcher to carry out their own analysis and extract their own information? This question is the focus of a 3-year, $606,000 grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation (Plale, Prakash 2011-2014), which has resulted in a novel experimental framework that permits analytical investigation of a corpus but prohibits data from leaving the capsule. The HTRC Data Capsule is both a system architecture and set of policies that enable computational investigation over the protected content of the HT digital repository that is carried out and controlled directly by a researcher. It leverages the foundational security principles of the Data Capsules of A. Prakash of University of Michigan, which allows privileged access to sensitive data while also restricting the channels through which that data can be released. Ongoing work extends the HTRC Data Capsule to give researchers more compute power at their fingertips. The new thrust, HT-DC Cloud, extends existing security guarantees and features to allow researchers to carry out compute-heavy tasks, like LDA topic modeling, on large-scale compute resources. HTRC Data Capsule works by giving a researcher their own virtual machine that runs within the HTRC domain. The researcher can configure the VM as they would their own desktop with their own tools. After they are done, the VM switches into a "secure" mode, where network and other data channels are restricted in exchange for access to the data being protected. Results are emailed to the user. In this talk we discuss the motivations for the HTRC Data Capsule, its successes and challenges. HTRC Data Capsule runs at Indiana University.

33. HathiTrust Research Center: Challenges and Opportunities in Big Text Data (52:39)

Date:
2014-03-05
Main contributors:
Chen, Miao, Plale, Beth
Summary:
HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC) is the public research arm of the HathiTrust digital library where millions of volumes, such as books, journals, and government documents, are digitized and preserved. By Nov 2013, the HathiTrust collection has 10.8M total volumes of which 3.5M are in the public domain [1] and the rest are in-copyrighted content. The public domain volumes of the HathiTrust collection by themselves are more than 2TB in storage. Each volume comes with a MARC metadata record for the original physical copy and a METS metadata file for provenance of digital object. Therefore the large-scale text raises challenges on the computational access to the collection, subsets of the collection, and the metadata. The large volume also poses a challenge on text mining, which is, how HTRC provides algorithms to exploit knowledge in the collections and accommodate various mining need. In this workshop, we will introduce the HTRC infrastructure, portal and work set builder interface, and programmatic data retrieve API (Data API), the challenges and opportunities in HTRC big text data, and finish with a short demo to the HTRC tools. More about HTRC The HTRC is a collaborative research center launched jointly by Indiana University and the University of Illinois, along with the HathiTrust Digital Library, to help meet the technical challenges of dealing with massive amounts of digital text that researchers face by developing cutting-edge software tools and cyberinfrastructure to enable advanced computational access to the growing digital record of human knowledge.
