Course Overview

Digital Humanities is aimed at obtaining knowledge that could not be obtained by traditional methods by applying digital technology to human literary materials. The course provides lectures on text encoding for the resources of the text, iconography analysis to consider the culture and society of the time created from a drawing, and document analysis to apply natural language processing techniques to historical documents. The course explains a method of mapping descriptions of old maps and old documents to geographic information systems. The course introduces the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) which is the standard for easily distributing image files.
