Digital Methods in the Humanities and Cultural Studies

The cultural heritage of mankind and its historical research is always connected with the questions of places and times. Geoinformation thus plays a central role in the study of archaeological objects and historical sources from a digital perspective. Similar intersections in applied informatics result in other disciplines in the humanities and cultural studies such as music informatics, translation technologies, language processing, corpus linguistics or digital editing.
