“The Web of Our Life is of a Mingled Yarn”: The Canadian Adaptations of Shakespeare Project, Humanities Scholarship, and ColdFusion
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This essay presents an overview of some of the challenges related to publishing the findings of a large-scale research project on Shakespeare––specifically the Canadian Adaptations of Shakespeare Project or CASP; www.canadianshakespeares.ca--on the World Wide Web. Our purpose in writing the essay is to allow others undertaking large-scale, IT-based projects related to Shakespeare––or any other Humanities research that involves extensive database manipulation on the Web––to understand and resolve some of the problems they will face: whether related to site architecture; database design and management; copyright; use of multimedia; and a host of other related issues that pose significant obstacles to presenting research via a web-based context. Humanities computing projects like CASP provide valuable testing grounds for realizing the inherent potential associated with new technologies. But even as they do so, the process of creating these resources lays bare the difficulties confronting new forms of knowledge as they are mobilized in formats that challenge traditional modes of research publication.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
