Workshop: Network Analysis and the Cultural Heritage Sector, 8 June 2016, Luxembourg
Date: Wednesday, 8th June 2016

Registration: Attendance is free but participants are asked to register by May 27th. Please contact Marten Düring, marten.during@cvce.eu.
Networks, network metaphors and network visualisations are everywhere. In recent years, they have been increasingly used as omnipresent representations of complexity itself and network-based infrastructures are increasingly shaping the way in which we organise and consume information.
In this workshop we want to explore how network visualisations and infrastructures will change the research and outreach activities of cultural heritage professionals and historians.
Among the questions we seek to discuss during the workshop are for example: How do users benefit from graphs and their visualisation? Which skills do we expect from our users? What can we teach them? Are SNA theories and methods relevant for public-facing applications? How do graph-based applications shape a user’s perception of the documents/objects which constitute the data? How can applications benefit from user engagement? How can applications expand and tap into other resources?
To this end we bring together scholars from the humanities and computer science, from design as well as the natural sciences to present best practices in their fields, to start an interdisciplinary dialogue and to help foster future co-operations.
The workshop is collocated with this year’s DH Benelux conference at the University of Luxembourg (http://dhbenelux.org/).
