What is Stated but not Evaluated: a Review of Common Objectives and their Evaluation for CH Data Interfaces
Xinyi Ding, Giacomo Alliata, Yuchen Yang, Sarah Kenderdine
EPFL, Switzerland
Our submission reviews 20 digital interfaces for CH data from 2015 to 2024. It finds 6 common objectives stated by the authors of the reviewed use cases but highlights that not all stated objectives are equally well evaluated.
Examining Digital Humanities Projects through the Lens of Technical and Professional Communication
Kerry Ulm
The Ohio State University, United States of America
This short presentation examines the overlaps between technical and professional communication (TPC) and digital humanities (DH) by using TPC content analysis methods to examine the interfaces of 100 DH project websites. It describes common DH web design features and offers insight regarding the development of accessible and sustainable DH projects.
CLARIAH-EUS-gArA: Constructing a Trustworthy Conversational Assistant for Basque News and Research in the Digital Humanities

University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU)
The CLARIAH-EUS-gArA project aims to enhance DH research by developing a trustworthy conversational assistant for Basque news using RAG and Latxa, a Basque LLM. It integrates AI and LT to address misinformation, verification, and reliability, thereby providing accurate, up-to-date responses in Basque to aid researchers in fact-checking and accessing sources.

This study evaluates Graph RAG’s applicability to the humanities, focusing on Caesar’s Gallic Wars, volume 1. A knowledge graph was constructed using LLMs, enabling the retrieval of semantically structured data. The results highlight the potential of enhanced knowledge graphs for broader applications, emphasizing evaluation methods and expert-driven graph development.
Mind the Gap! Supporting code-free Computational research through Small Scale Apps
Lucia Michielin
University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Non-coding tools have expanded accessibility in digital humanities, empowering researchers without programming skills to perform data-driven analyses. However, there are currently few tools to assist non-coders with converting and cleaning data. This paper presents a Shiny application for data preprocessing positing that similar small-scale solutions could help bridge this gap.
