GhentCDH

The Ghent Centre for Digital Humanities (GhentCDH) engages in the field of ‘Digital Humanities’ at Ghent University, ranging from archaeology and geography to linguistics and cultural studies. It develops DH collaboration and supports research projects, teaching activities and infrastructure projects across the faculties.

  • Digital heritage

    The Ghent Centre for Digital Humanities actively supports projects in digital heritage, public participation and virtual exhibitions. We help researchers, educators, and students in creating, managing, and presenting their digital collections.

  • Geospatial analysis

    The Ghent Centre for Digital Humanities offers advice, support and training in geospatial data management, analysis and visualization.

  • Digital text analysis

    The Ghent Centre for Digital Humanities is committed to advancing the study of textual sources through the use of digital tools. We offer guidance on a wide range of technologies, including Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and the processing of tabular and layout data.

  • Collaborative databases

    The Ghent Centre for Digital Humanities assists researchers in collaboratively managing and working with research data, offering tailored solutions to suit their needs. We provide guidance on tools like Nodegoat, a web-based platform for data management, analysis, and visualization. Our services also include advice on best practices for data standards, long-term storage, interoperability, and linked data integration.
