Liebe @dh_berlin -Community, am Freitag findet der nächste DH-Stammtisch statt!

Wir treffen uns Fr., 4.4., 18:00 Uhr, in der Tiergartenquelle am S-Bahnhof Tiergarten. Es ist ein Tisch auf meinen Namen reserviert.

TOOL: ResearchSpace 4.0.0 is an open-source platform that leverages knowledge graphs to integrate narratives and data, enhancing the contextualization of cultural heritage research. By employing semantic expressions and ontologies like CIDOC CRM, it allows for dynamic and interconnected representations of complex historical information. Could this be the future of digital humanities research?

Welche Erkenntnisse können wir durch die #Modellierung historischer Daten gewinnen und wie werden #Modelle eigentlich genutzt?

Dazu diskutieren in einer Expert*innenrunde zu digitalem Wandel der TA 5 „Data Culture“ in @NFDI4Memory @Mareike2405, @sarahalang, @torstenhiltmann, @tillgrallert, @DigHisNoah und @jaschaschmitz.
Stay tuned for our White Paper!

Manchmal ist mäßiges #OCR in gewisser Weise "richtiger" und treffender als der Ausgangstext. So konstatiert es einen Sauleiter für den nationalsozialistischen Gauleiter Karl Kaufmann. Well done!
