Seeking to challenge the focus on 'big data' by understanding it
outside of the computational power required to process it, this
volume explores the role of digital methods in the future of
digital humanities research. The essays are united by the theme of
complexity - but manifest that complexity across an unusual
spectrum. The methods included rise out of fields of study
including library and information science, informatics, literary
studies, English, and computer science. Sources explored include
traditional national archives, international web archives, medieval
musical scores, digitised books, early modern network ontologies
and educational data/learning analytics. These essays discuss the
practical implications of web scraping, the implications of
creating new scholarly objects, the importance of documentation and
the intricacies of applying topic modelling and linked open data
methods. Together, the volume suggests that the humanities comfort
with multiplicities, contingency, and uncertainty in sources may
lend itself to resisting the reductionism that makes technical
projects easier to manage, flattening messy, human data into neat
binaries. These essays remind us that their results must be
contextualised through scholars' knowledge of the sources and the
methods by which they came to be constructed not just as 'big data'
datasets.
