| Title |
Introduction to Data Modelling for the Humanities |
| Description |
This course examines an essential activity in the digital humanities: data modelling. Data modelling involves identifying which aspects of the object of study are relevant, determining how to represent them, and defining their relationships. This process is akin to deciding which features of a territory are depicted on a map. Explicitly formalizing a data model for computational use is a foundational step in numerous digital humanities projects.
Throughout the course, students will engage with both the theoretical foundations of data modelling and its practical implementation. They will learn how to transform conceptual models into computational ones using different technologies (XML trees, relational database tables, and semantic web graphs) and about their affordances.
We will work on a contemporary Swiss author and on texts available in German, French, Italian and English.
The course will be held in English.
No previous knowledge or skills are required. |
