A two-day workshop bringing together an international group of humanities scholars, cultural heritage professionals, and technical experts to begin planning for an online resource that would facilitate access to digital collections of the art and artifacts of the early medieval period in northern Europe, drawn from a range of dispersed institutional holdings.

Project Andvari is designed to provide integrated access to dispersed collections of northern European art and artifacts of the early medieval period (4th-12th centuries). Our goal is to create a digital portal offering aggregated search options and enhanced metadata. Funding is requested to convene an international workshop for humanities scholars, museum professionals, and technology experts to refine the conceptual design of the proposed research tool and identify its technological requirements in preparation for a pilot project. Ultimately, Project Andvari will facilitate interdisciplinary research in art, archaeology, history, and literary and religious studies of the northern periphery of medieval Europe. It will allow users to study visual culture across media and beyond traditional geographical and disciplinary boundaries. Its innovative application of search methods will promote analyses of relationships of artifacts and cultures, and help us discover the hitherto unnoticed.

Project Andvari: A Digital Portal to the Visual World of Early Medieval Northern Europe (Conference Paper/Presentation)
Title: Project Andvari: A Digital Portal to the Visual World of Early Medieval Northern Europe
Author: Nancy L. Wicker
Abstract: The aim of Project Andvari, supported by a Digital Humanities Start-up Grant from the NEH, is to provide a free digital portal for integrated access to dispersed collections of northern European art and artifacts of the early medieval period (4th–12th centuries). The project was conceived by Lilla Kopár of The Catholic University of America (CUA) and I, in collaboration with Worthy Martin and Daniel Pitti of the Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities (IATH) at the University of Virginia, who are coordinating the technical specifications of the project. In 2013, we convened an international workshop for humanities scholars, museum professionals, and technology experts from Germany, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States to refine the conceptual design of the proposed research tool and identify its technological requirements in preparation for a pilot project. We initiated partnerships with The British Museum and the National Heritage Board of Sweden to aggregate data from their digital collections. In 2014, we held a small workshop of content specialists in medieval art and archaeology, library and information science specialists, and technology experts to lay the foundations of a project-specific thesaurus of iconographical subjects for the Andvari portal. Our next step is to create a working pilot portal that will allow semantic searching. Ultimately, Project Andvari will facilitate interdisciplinary research in art, archaeology, history, and literary and religious studies of the northern periphery of medieval Europe, allowing users to study visual culture across media and beyond traditional geographical and disciplinary boundaries.

Project Andvari: A Digital Portal to the Visual World of Early Medieval Northern Europe (Conference Paper/Presentation)
Title: Project Andvari: A Digital Portal to the Visual World of Early Medieval Northern Europe
Author: Nancy L. Wicker
Abstract: Project Andvari is an international collaborative project designed to create a digital portal that will provide integrated access to collections of northern European art and artifacts of the fourth through twelfth centuries. The project title Andvari evokes many features of this new research tool. Andvari (Old Norse ‘the careful one’) is the name of a dwarf in Norse mythology, where dwarves are associated with arts and crafts. Andvari is the collector of a great treasure and a shape-shifter. Thus his character echoes the idea of a digital portal functioning as an aggregator and its utility in searching artistic elements transformed across media, regions, and cultures. The goal of this presentation is to explain the rationale for and the objectives of Project Andvari. Despite the wealth of the surviving visual culture from early medieval Scandinavia and neighboring areas, primary materials are often difficult to access, scattered in specialized, national collections. Researchers working on artifacts in one medium are often unaware of parallels in another and use different terminology to describe similar elements. Recently, several collections of material restricted by medium, object type, or location have been made available through online catalogues, but these subsets have remained unconnected. Furthermore, the search functions of existing databases are often limiting since they pre-structure material in conventional categories dictated by scholarly traditions. In response to these challenges, Project Andvari will facilitate interdisciplinary research in the northern periphery of medieval Europe, allowing users to study visual culture across media and beyond traditional geographical and disciplinary boundaries.

Project Andvari: A Portal to the Visual World of Early Medieval Northern Europe. Project report. (Conference Paper/Presentation)
Title: Project Andvari: A Portal to the Visual World of Early Medieval Northern Europe. Project report.
Author: Lilla Kopár
Abstract: Though material culture is widely recognized as a cornerstone of interdisciplinary Anglo-Saxon Studies, the physical remnants of Anglo-Saxon daily life are still, all too often, being analyzed by specialists working in isolation from one another. Recently, several online databases and catalogues have made subsets of these materials widely available, mainly in the form of digital resources focused on one particular medium, object type, or location. But in spite of the easy availability of such corpora of digital images and object descriptions, it remains difficult to connect them to one another, not only because of the disparate nature of the artifacts themselves, but also because we lack the unifying terminologies and descriptive schemas that would allow for comparisons across disparate artistic media, scholarly disciplines, and national and language boundaries. Project Andvari [http://andvari.iath.virginia.edu] is an international collaborative project, funded by NEH, that proposes a solution to these challenges by creating a free digital portal that will provide integrated access to collections of northern European art and artifacts of the early medieval period (4th–12th centuries). The project has four main objectives: • To offer integrated access to the existing but dispersed artifactual record of northern European art of the early medieval period; • to augment and enhance existing data and metadata; • to allow humanities scholars to study the aggregated material in an interdisciplinary fashion and to promote analyses of relationships (both of artifacts and of cultures); and • to promptly disseminate information about new discoveries and provide a shared virtual workspace for researchers.

Linking the Visual World of Early Medieval Northern Europe: Project Andvari (Conference Paper/Presentation)
Title: Linking the Visual World of Early Medieval Northern Europe: Project Andvari
Author: Lila Kopár
Abstract: Project Andvari is an NEH-funded international collaborative project designed to create a free digital portal that will provide integrated access to collections of northern European art and artifacts of the early medieval period (4th–12th centuries). The pilot (in progress) will aggregate data primarily from The British Museum, Norwich Castle Museum, and Kringla (Sweden). The current presentation will focus specifically on issues of metadata and related technical aspects of the project as a case study. The nature and structure of metadata for Andvari has been determined by researchers’ needs as much as by practical considerations. Decisions were based on an interdisciplinary conversation in which scholars of various fields stated what they envisioned such a resource would include; LIS practitioners offered recommendations on how to best meet user needs based on actual information seeking behavior; and information technology specialists provided insight into what would be possible, given technological constraints.

Project Andvari: Facilitating access to disparate digital collections of medieval material culture of northern Europe through interdisciplinary collaboration (Conference Paper/Presentation)
Title: Project Andvari: Facilitating access to disparate digital collections of medieval material culture of northern Europe through interdisciplinary collaboration
Author: Joseph Koivisto
Abstract: As digital repositories of medieval manuscripts and artifacts increasingly become a standard avenue of access and scholarship, many researchers desire the ability to collocate and compare related collections and objects across disparate repositories via aggregation initiatives. Project Andvari, an NEH- funded program, proposes to create an aggregate digital repository that will promote use of disparate collections of early medieval (4th-12th Century) Norse art and artifacts by providing unified discovery and access to several digital collections of bracteates, pictures stones, coins, and more. An investigation into the proceedings of the initial project meeting held in November 2013 reveals that the Andvari project approach establishes the foundation upon which a sustainable aggregate repository will be built. By highlighting the project goals and intended repository functionality, the Andvari platform model is shown to facilitate innovative digital scholarship of medieval Norse material culture by promoting novel comparative analyses of previously distributed objects. Additionally, an acknowledgement of the diverse disciplinary backgrounds of the initial project meeting participants illustrates the positive influence of brining the perspectives of medievalists, information technology specialists, and cultural heritage librarians to bear on the identification of conceptual scope, organizational approach, and technical feasibility. The final analysis of the Project Andvari initial project meeting concludes that the overall project objectives and the approach to planning, design and implementation will likely result in a digital aggregate repository that will promote digital scholarship and provide a useful model for future repository design and production.

Controlled vocabulary enhancement through crowdsourcing: Project Andvari, Micropasts, and public quality assurance (Conference Paper/Presentation)
Title: Controlled vocabulary enhancement through crowdsourcing: Project Andvari, Micropasts, and public quality assurance
Author: Joseph Koivisto
Author: Youngok Choi
Abstract: As part of Project Andvari, a digital humanities initiative to aggregate early medieval northern European artifacts, it was deemed necessary to develop a semantically structured iconographic thesaurus to properly describe the iconographic content of distributed artefactual collections from a variety of contributing institutions. Developed according to SKOS-methodologies through open-access platforms, the thesaurus will ultimately be integrated into the project platform and made available for distributed implementation and linkages to broadly adopted authorities. Despite a solid conceptual foundation, project members were concerned about the resource’s ability to properly describe resources based on domain-specific scholarly practices. With this in mind, the project team partnered with Micropasts – a crowdsourcing platform sponsored by the British Museum – in order to create a Pybossa-based crowdsourcing application through which researchers, graduate students, and the public could test the thesaurus by applying terms and concepts to digital objects collected from the British Museum and the Swedish National Heritage Board. In this poster, we will present the underlying concept behind the utilization of crowdsourcing approaches to perform initial testing of a controlled vocabulary resource, highlighting the benefits of bringing multiple subjective perspectives to quality assurance efforts. The poster will also discuss the development of the crowdsourcing application in collaboration with the Micropasts team. Finally, the poster will present initial findings of the crowdsourcing initiative, analyzing term usage and recommended concepts in order to determine both the usability of our thesaurus and the feasibility of our quality assurance approach. The poster will finally present actionable recommendations for future projects interested in implementing crowdsourcing approaches to authority record testing and enhancement.

Interdisciplinarity, authority, and the crowd: Bringing library science practices to innovative digital humanities endeavors (Conference Paper/Presentation)
Title: Interdisciplinarity, authority, and the crowd: Bringing library science practices to innovative digital humanities endeavors
Author: Joseph Koivisto
Abstract: Ever increasing in their ubiquity, digital humanities initiatives seek to blend traditional humanities scholarship and technological solutions to produce new approaches to scholarship and materials. But what can library science practitioners bring to the table? Headquartered at the Catholic University of America, Project Andvari is a digital humanities initiative that seeks to promote research and access to early medieval Northern European material culture. Starting in late 2013, I joined the project team as both a project assistant and as a library science scholar. This poster covers the impact that interdisciplinary engagement has had on the project and discusses some of the project enhancements that have been inspired by LIS approaches. This poster will also discuss a unique project development: a crowdsourcing application that combines medieval studies, museum collections, and library science disciplines in the pursuit of refining authority controls.

Controlled Vocabulary Enhancement through Crowdsourcing: Project Andvari, Micropasts, and Public Quality Assurance (Article)
Title: Controlled Vocabulary Enhancement through Crowdsourcing: Project Andvari, Micropasts, and Public Quality Assurance
Author: Youngok Choi
Author: Joseph Koivisto
Abstract: This paper presents an experimental approach of using crowdsourcing to test controlled vocabularies for digital collections of cultural objects. For a digital humanities initiative project, Project Andvari, which is intended to create a digital portal of early medieval northern European artifacts, it was recognized that there was a need to develop a semantically structured iconographic thesaurus to describe the iconographic content of distributed artefactual collections from a variety of contributing institutions. This paper discusses a workflow of planning and development process of controlled vocabularies for the project and a testing process of the vocabularies to determine both the usability of controlled vocabularies and the feasibility of quality assurance approach. This paper demonstrates an applicability of crowdsourcing in developing controlled vocabularies.
