"Digital humanities (DH) is an area of scholarly activity at the intersection of computing or digital technologies and the disciplines of the humanities."
Using technology to enhance and expand the study of humanities fields such as history.
Text analysis: Using computational methods to analyze large bodies of digital text, including natural language processing, topic modeling, and sentiment analysis.
Data visualization: Creating visual representations of data to help better understand trends, patterns, and relationships.
Geographic information systems (GIS): Using digital maps and spatial analysis to understand the relationships between geography and historical data.
Data mining: Extracting patterns and knowledge from large datasets through statistical and machine learning methods.
Digital archives: Creating and accessing digital collections of primary source materials for research and analysis.
Network analysis: Analyzing connections between people, organizations, and concepts to understand social and historical processes.
Digital publishing: Using digital tools to publish and disseminate research outcomes, including digital journals, books, and multimedia projects.
Digital preservation: Ensuring the long-term accessibility and preservation of digital materials.
Linked data: Creating structured data that connects diverse sources of information, allowing for more comprehensive analyses and visualizations.
Social media analysis: Analyzing large-scale social media data to understand public opinion, trends, and social movements.
Data Mining: This involves extracting meaningful patterns and insights from large volumes of digital data using statistical techniques and computational tools.
Geospatial Analysis: This involves analyzing, visualizing, and interpreting data within a geographic framework to gain insights into historical events and their spatial relationships.
Text Analysis: This involves using computational tools and algorithms to analyze large volumes of textual data, including metadata analysis, topic modeling, and sentiment analysis.
Digital Archiving: This involves the digitization, preservation, and dissemination of historical artifacts, documents, and collections using digital technologies.
Digital Storytelling: This involves the use of narrative techniques to convey complex historical events and ideas to a wide audience using multimedia tools.
Virtual Reality and 3D Modeling: This involves creating 3D models of historical sites, buildings, and artifacts. VR can be used as a tool for virtual reality reconstructions of the past.
Augmented Reality: This involves overlaying digital information on top of the real-world environment, allowing users to interact with historical artifacts in new and immersive ways.
Network Analysis: This involves studying the relationships between historical actors, institutions, and events using graph theory and network analysis tools.
Digital Humanities Pedagogy: This involves exploring new and innovative ways to integrate digital tools and methodologies into teaching and learning.
Digital Cultural Heritage: This involves using digital technologies to preserve, reconstruct, and share cultural heritage artifacts and traditions, including music, art, literature, and film.
"It includes the systematic use of digital resources in the humanities, as well as the analysis of their application."
"DH can be defined as new ways of doing scholarship that involve collaborative, transdisciplinary, and computationally engaged research, teaching, and publishing."
"It brings digital tools and methods to the study of the humanities with the recognition that the printed word is no longer the main medium for knowledge production and distribution."
"By producing and using new applications and techniques, DH makes new kinds of teaching possible."
"It studies and critiquing how these [new applications and techniques] impact cultural heritage and digital culture."
"DH is also applied in research."
"A distinctive feature of DH is its cultivation of a two-way relationship between the humanities and the digital."
"...the field both employs technology in the pursuit of humanities research."
"...subjects technology to humanistic questioning and interrogation."
"Collaborative, transdisciplinary, and computationally engaged research, teaching, and publishing."
