Mapping the Digital Cultural Heritage Landscape: A Data-Driven Approach to Understanding Institutional Networks and Knowledge Distribution 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. Democratising dialect: crowdsourcing language data across geographic space 1University of Glasgow, United Kingdom; 2Newcastle University, United Kingdom; 3QMUL, United Kingdom 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 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 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. |
