DHTK: The Digital Humanities ToolKit
نویسندگان
چکیده
Digital Humanities have the merit of connecting two very different disciplines such as humanities and computer science. In this paper we present a new python library, The Digital Humanities ToolKit (DHTK), whose scope is to provide a fast and intuitive tool for a largescale study of large literary databases by leveraging on some well-known semantic knowledge resources. In addition, DHTK has the ambition to go beyond textual resources to integrate other human resources such as images (e.g., paintings, comics, etc) or sounds (e.g., music, transcripts, etc). DHTK is a collaborative project and we invite anyone who has the interest or some ideas in this context to reach out to us.

The value of a visualization evolved in a digital humanities project is per se not evenly high for both involved research fields. When an approach is too complex – which counts as a strong argument for a publication in a visualization realm – it might get invaluable for humanities scholars due to problems of comprehension. On the other hand, if a clean, easily comprehensible visualization is va...
