Digging Into Data Challenge
Starting in 2009, the Digging into Data Challenge has addressed the relationship between “Big Data” and scholarship in the humanities and social sciences, and how research in these areas has been transformed by Big Data. Massive research databases are now accessible, and include digitized books, newspapers, and music, as well as digital-born materials generated by the Internet and World Wide Web, as well as other sources. The Digging into Data initiative investigates innovative interdisciplinary, computational research methods and tools required to search, analyze, and interpret this vast array of materials, and aims to assist in the creation of new research infrastructure to address the challenges of computationally- and data-driven scholarship.
