The Norwegian Computing Centre for the Humanities (NCCH) was established in 1972 as a center for research and development to help individual researchers and academic institutions in the use of computers in the humanities.
Begun in 1987 under joint sponsorship of the ACH, the ALLC and the University of Toronto's Centre for Computing in the Humanities, it is currently [273] housed at Brown University and moderated by Elaine Brennan and Allen Renear.

 Advanced Computing in the Humanities: Publisher's note
As early as 1967, the so-called "Linguistic Computing Project" was established, focusing on computational lexicography, terminology, and language for special purposes.
In 1981, it was succeeded by The Norwegian Term Bank, specializing in essentially the same fields, but developing them further and extending their activities into related fields like thesaurus building and text structuring.
Our long tradition in advanced computing in the humanities has taught us three important lessons: the necessity of having extensive and close international relations, the need for close collaboration between computer specialists and researchers within all areas of the humanities, and the fruitfulness of combining basic research with applied endeavours.

 HUMANITIES COMPUTING IN NORWAY:
The Norwegian Computing Centre for the Humanities was established in 1972, at the University of Bergen, first as a temporary project, and then, from 1978, as a permanent institution.
The Centre is in principle open to research within all branches of the humanities both at the universities and elsewhere.
As the Centre is a fairly small institution it has over the years been a challenging task to direct the services of the Centre such as to achieve the greatest possible spin-off effect on the various user groups.

 SGML: ALLC/ACH Joint International Conference '96
Those that concentrate on the development of new computing methodologies should make clear how the methodologies are applied to research and/or teaching in the humanities, and should include some critical assessment of the application of those methodologies in the humanities.
As part of its commitment to promote the development and application of appropriate computing in humanities scholarship, the Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing will award up to five bursaries of up to 500 GB pounds each to students and young scholars who have papers accepted for presentation at the conference.
Hosting this conference, the Norwegian Computing Centre for the Humanities was founded in 1972 and is located at the University of Bergen.

…a computational model of grounding…In this model, utterances are seen as the performance of particular kinds of speech acts (such as initiate, continue, repair and acknowledge) that change the state of groundedness of some information.
The model allows one to form a precise theory (which may still turn out to be incorrect) of what is grounded and what actions need to be performed to achieve grounding at any point in the conversation.
We have already argued against ideas of computational models and formalizations of "grounding", which seem to be based on a notion of shared knowledge as an objective and identifiable prerequisite for human communication.
