Simple visualisation techniques for simplified Humanities. A survey of Digital Humanities projects

Tommaso Battisti, Marilena Daquino

Alma Mater Studiorum - Univeristy of Bologna, Italy

Only a few surveys analyse information visualisation practices in the Digital Humanities, limiting their results to specific sub-fields and narrow scopes. This work addresses these gaps by exploring the interplay between visualisation techniques, narrative structures, interactive approaches, and solutions to humanities visualisation problems across 186 web-based Digital Humanities projects.
