DHKV 2017 - 6th International Symposium Digital Humanities Knowledge Visualization

The Humanities has enjoyed a renaissance in the last two decades. This has been largely facilitated by the acceptance of digital media as a tool for the critical analysis of scholarly works. This new field, the Digital Humanities, includes applied and theoretical use of digital media. Increasingly, large collections of knowledge are being investigated using digital tools. These tools assist in visualising the knowledge contained in ways that expose new meanings and interpretations of scholarly knowledge.
Our host, the International Information Visualisation Conference, provides a uniquely propitious environment for a Digital Humanities symposium. With other symposia spanning Information Visualisation Theory & Practice to Visualisation in Software Engineering, attendees of the Digital Humanities Knowledge Visualisation are well placed to make serendipitous connections with technologists in similar fields.
