'Best DH Data Visualization' nominations
It's that time again - the Digital Humanities award nominations are out, and you can vote until the end of 28 February 2015. Here are the nominations in the visualisation category:
David Kelly: Exploring Dáil (Irish Parliment) Transcript Data (Network graph created after speeches were processed through Natural Language Processing Entity Extraction (Python NLTK)).
Ex-Voto peints de Provence (explore images of ex-voto paintings, needs Silverlight so I haven't seen it)
Martin Grandjean: [DataViz] The digital humanities network on Twitter (#DH2014)
Rasmus Krempel: Local Wikipedia Map (generate network graphs of the links between different Wikipedia articles)
Signs@40: Feminist Scholarship through Four Decades ('topic modeling, editorial curation, and commentaries' plus a Cocitation Network Graph)
The Virtual Paul’s Cross Project (a 'digital recreation' in Google SketchUp and rendered in Photoshop, based on original sources and also considering aspects like acoustics)
The Wandering Jew’s Chronicle archive (you can overlay illustrations from different versions of the ballad to view the differences between wood cuts)
Touch History / Toucher l’histoire (a demo video for an 'interactive historical map')
'Visualisation' has been interpreted quite broadly. Network graphs are still with us, and I really appreciate that some projects have included information on how they obtained and processed the texts they've used.
