Mapping the Digital Cultural Heritage Landscape: A Data-Driven Approach to Understanding Institutional Networks and Knowledge Distribution
Walter Ehrenberger
Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, Germany
This paper presents an interactive visualization platform and ETL pipeline for mapping institutional networks in digital cultural heritage. By analyzing data from multiple sources, including funding patterns and research outputs, the system enables humanities scholars to examine institutional power dynamics and supports evidence-based decision making for cultural heritage initiatives.

In this paper we present findings from a new crowdsourced resource - Speak for Yersel - which sets out to map dialect use in Scots throughout Scotland. How successful is crowdsourcing in revealing Scots in all its complex dialect guises?
Text in Place: A MultiModal Approach to Distant Reading Historical Maps
Daniel C.S. Wilson, Katherine McDonough, Kaspar Beelen, Rosie Wood
The Alan Turing Institute, United Kingdom
Maps have their own visual grammar that combines graphical and textual elements in a unique form of meaning-making that is both multimodal and geospatial. We introduce a multimodal approach that allows us for the first time to approach text on maps as research data in its own right.
They crossed the valley of Catamarca: A study of narrative space in novel openings
Nils Kellner, Marc Lemke, Ulrike Henny-Krahmer, Julián Carlos Spinelli, Erik Renz, Anika Piotraschke
Universität Rostock, Germany
Novel openings’ similarities and differences raise literary-historical questions. With our contribution, we aim to advance that research by means of digital text annotation and spatiality analysis of the openings of a selection of 19th and 20th century novels in German and Spanish.
