Digital spatial humanities-Some methodological remarks and two historical examples

Original language description

The introduction briefly discusses the so-called Spatial Turn as an impulse for the Computational/Digital Humanities. This is followed by a discussion of methodological questions on digitisation, (Big) Data and Computational/Digital Humanities. Digital Humanities is associated with a transformation into data-centred sciences, but semantics is still the central issue. Our thesis is that Digital Humanities including semantic techniques stand in a relationship to the Humanities like ""Computational Science"" to the natural sciences or ""Computational Engineering"" to the engineering sciences. With ""Spatial Humanities"" we want to point out the special relation to the geosciences, whereby we follow a cognitive-epistemic perspective in the direction from geography to cultural studies. Following the discussion of some methodological questions such as operationalisability and the problem of conceptual change, the approach of the Semantic Web is proposed on the technical side for knowledge modelling, processing and publication (Knowledge Graph, Linked Open Data). Finally, two examples are presented in which historical maps (and texts) are thematised as cognitive maps and which are processed with the help of the Virtual Research Environment WissKI. © Finn Dammann, Dominik Kremer (eds.).
