Multimodality
This textbook provides the first foundational introduction to the practice of analysing multimodality, covering the full breadth of media and situations in which multimodality needs to be a concern. Readers learn via use cases how to approach any multimodal situation and to derive their own specifically tailored sets of methods for conducting and evaluating analyses. Extensive references and critical discussion of existing approaches from many di…
Towards next-generation visual archives
The digital turn in visual studies has played a major role in the terminological overlap between ‘archive’, ‘database’ and ‘corpus’, and it has brought about a number of positive developments such as improved accessibility and availability. At the same time, it has also raised important questions pertaining to the materiality, searchability, annotation and analysis of the data at hand. Through a series of theoretical constructs and empirical exam…
Situating Spatial Language and the Role of Ontology
Although the analysis and formalisation of the meaning of spatial expressions represents an extremely active area of research at this time, there remain significant problems in relating spatial expressions to their intended interpretations in context. In this article we motivate a spatial semantics architecture that draws a formal separation of linguistic semantics and non-linguistic spatial descriptions. Methods drawn from ontological engineerin…
The Role of Conceptual and Linguistic Ontologies in Interpreting Spatial Discourse
This article argues that a clear division between two sources of information–one oriented to world knowledge, the other to linguistic semantics–offers a framework within which mechanisms for modelling the highly flexible relation between language and interpretation necessary for natural discourse can be specified and empirically validated. Moreover, importing techniques and results from formal ontology provides the formal underpinnings necessary …
Towards Constructive Text, Diagram, and Layout Generation for Information Presentation
Combining elements appropriately within a coherent page layout is a well-recognized and crucial aspect of sophisticated information presentation. The precise function and nature of layout has not, however, been sufficiently addressed within computational approaches; attention is often restricted to relatively local issues of typography and text-formatting, leaving broader issues of layout unaddressed. In this paper we focus on the selection and f…
Cottam
The presence of Anglian and Anglo-Scandinavian settlements at Cottam, East Yorkshire, was first indicated in 1987 by numerous finds of copper alloy coins, dress pins and strap ends by metal detector users. This report presents the results of fieldwork carried out on behalf of the Department of Archaeology, University of York, between 1993–95, including fieldwalking, geophysical survey, and excavation. This revealed an enclosure of the eighth to n…
