Introduction into nodegoat

Workshop: Introduction into nodegoat

The workshop offers an introduction to Nodegoat (nodegoat.net), a web-based research environment for the humanities, led by its developers. Nodegoat allows users to create their own data models for persons, places, events, or artefacts, including their relationships as well as temporal and spatial information. Data can be entered, organised, and imported from existing datasets. The platform provides analysis and visualisation tools such as network analysis, spatial and chronological representations, queries, and filters. Sources can be linked, and data can be exported or published. Nodegoat is particularly suitable for projects on historical relationships, prosopography, or movements across time and space.

The event will be held in English and is open to all members of the University of Jena, including doctoral candidates as well as Bachelor’s and Master’s students.
