OPEN EDUCATION CERTIFICATES
Content Storage and Management in the Digital Humanities.
Database technology was a revolution compared to traditional file systems because of how simple and efficient it made data management become. Relational databases are the most widespread and efficient model and have become the dominant type of database on the market. The course will analyze the transition from traditional systems to databases and conceptual data models as tools for design of relational databases, which will be the core of the syllabus. The characteristics of the relational database model will be analyzed, as well as the whole process of creating schemas and querying databases. Data visualization techniques will also be discussed, along with some widely used tools to perform this task..
The program consists of 5 ECTS credits.
Dates: January 17 to March 31, 2022
Text analysis and stylometry in R.
The objective of the course on Text Analysis and Stylometry with R, offered by UNED’s Laboratory of Innovation in Digital Humanities (LINHD), is to provide researchers in the humanities with basic knowledge they need to carry out research in Natural Language Processing (NLP), Text Mining, Authorship Attribution, Forensic Linguistics, Topic Modelling or Sentiment Analysis through an open source programming language –R– widely used in the scientific community across various fields and subjects, from Statistics to Forensic Linguistics through phylogenetics, biostatistics, political analysis, marketing, etc.
Dates: January 17 to March 31, 2022
Close and distant reading: data visualization in the humanities.
Visualization aims to help understand the data by taking advantage of the human visual system and its high capacity to recognize patterns, find trends and identify outliers. A well-designed visual representation can substitute cognitive calculations with simple perceptual deduction and improve comprehension and memorization. In addition, presenting data in a more accessible and engaging way invites a more diverse audience to take part in the exploration and analysis of our research. The challenge is to choose the most efficient and appropriate way to represent our interests. In this subject, students will learn to create visualizations that allow the exploration of humanistic data in order to extract new information as well as to achieve a more effective dissemination of results
Dates: January 17 to March 15, 2022
Introduction to Digital Text Editing: Marking and Labeling TEI I.
The objective of a visualization is to help understand data by leveraging the human visual system and its high capacity to see patterns, detect trends and identify outliers. A well-designed visual representation can replace cognitive calculations with simple perceptual deduction and improve comprehension and memorization. In addition, presenting data in a more accessible and engaging way invites a more diverse audience to engage in the exploration and analysis of our research. The challenge is to choose the most efficient and adequate representation for our interests. In this course you will learn how to make visualizations that allow you to explore humanistic data in order to extract new information as well as to achieve a more effective dissemination of results.
Dates: January 17 to March 15, 2022
Metadata, controlled vocabularies and digital humanities.
This course is a basic introduction to metadata, understood as structured descriptions of digital objects. They are essential because they make it possible to characterize and recover information in digital settings. Therefore, research in Digital Humanities should be underpinned by knowledge of the application and correct use of metadata in every stage of a project, especially if it is an information system. Controlled vocabularies are essential in this task, since they act as basic structures to organize, describe and retrieve information in virtual environments. In this programme, we propose a theoretical and practical approach which involves creating and using controlled vocabularies that serve to describe digital objects in our research.
Dates: January 17 to March 15, 2022
Introduction to digital humanities
Digital Humanities is an emerging academic field that brings together different initiatives that are gradually being incorporated into the university curriculum and research activities, allowing us to think more broadly about the future of research and the construction of a diverse community that spreads its theories, practices and objects, not only within the classroom, but also through other means such as associations, laboratories, research projects and collaborative initiatives.
Dates: January 17 to March 15, 2022
