Resources

• Photogrammetry 3D Digitisation

  EN

  This resource is an introduction to the photogrammetry technique to capture visual data about cultural heritage assets and produce associated 3D models.

• Sentiment Analysis with 'syuzhet' using R

  EN

  This lesson teaches you how to obtain and analyse narrative texts for patterns of sentiment and emotion. The 'syuzhet' sentiment analysis algorithm, along with the programming language R, will be used, demonstrating the techniques to allow learners to follow along.

• ENCODE open online course

  EN

  The ENCODE open online course 'Digital tools for the research and study of ancient writing cultures' is designed to introduce teaching staff, GLAM professionals, and graduates to ancient writing cultures and digital studies, exploring the digital transformations in the fields of Greek and Latin epigraphy, papyrology, and other aspects of ancient writing cultures.

• FAIR Multidimensional Data

  EN

  This resource offers a starting point to learn more about the different types of multidimensional media, as well as managing media in a way which promotes the FAIR principles. The resource also introduces the concept of a Virtual Research Environment to support retrieval and curation of multidimensional data for storytelling via interoperable frameworks.

• OCR with Google Vision API and Tesseract

  EN

  Google Vision and Tesseract are both popular and powerful OCR tools, but they each have their weaknesses. In this lesson, you will learn how to combine the two to make the most of their individual strengths and achieve even more accurate OCR results.

• Einführung in Metadaten und Dokumentation

  DE

  Anschließend an die "Grundlagen des Datenmanagements" und der praktischen Übung zu Datenmanagement bietet dieser Kurs eine Einführung in das Thema Metadaten. Was sind Metadaten? Aus welchen Komponenten bestehen sie? Und welche Typen von Metadaten können wir unterscheiden?

• An Introduction to Prosopography

  EN

  This resource helps students tackle key prosopography challenges, such as disambiguating individuals with the same name, handling anonymous entries, and recognizing fictional people, known as the Rusudan Problem. Additionally, this resource focuses on the theory of identity, where roles, titles, and historical presence may be disputed but still carry an assumed "correct" interpretation. Fluid identities—such as ethnicity, gender, and religion—are more complex and require careful modeling in databases. The course also covers how to scope projects effectively by defining clear research questions and boundaries.

• Grundlagen des Datenmanagements

  DE

  Dieses Kapitel erläutert einige grundlegende Regeln für ein aktives und gutes Datenmanagement und beschreibt, wie Dateien und Ordner sinnvoll und eindeutig benannt und strukturiert werden können, wie man mit Versionierung arbeitet und welche Dateiformate für die Nachnutzbarkeit und Langzeitarchivierung geeignet sind.

• DYLEN: Diachronic Dynamics of Lexical Networks

  EN

  This post is a quick reference guide to the DYLEN tool, an interactive visualisation tool that the Diachronic Dynamics of Lexical Networks project team created to provide insights into the dynamic lexical changes of Austrian German during the 21st century. It helps lexicographers and linguists to analyse the development of Austrian German lexemes over the course of time. It is an open source tool that can be used free of charge.

• Digitisation with 360 Degrees Photography

  EN

  This resource is an introduction to 360 degrees panorama photography. It explores different types of panoramic representations and examples of 360 degree panoramas in the cultural heritage domain. Practical advice and step by step guidance on how to capture data and process them is also included in order to produce and publish 360 degrees panorama images.

• Creating Deep Convolutional Neural Networks for Image Classification

  EN

  This lesson provides a beginner-friendly introduction to convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for image classification. The tutorial provides a conceptual understanding of how neural networks work by using Google’s Teachable Machine to train a model on paintings from the ArtUK database. This lesson also demonstrates how to use Javascript to embed the model in a live website.

• Creating GUIs in Python for Digital Humanities Projects

  EN

  In this lesson, you will use Qt Designer and Python to design and implement a simple graphical user interface and application to merge PDF files. This lesson also demonstrates how to package the application for distribution to other personal computers.
