Digital Humanities and Semantic Web: The New Frontiers of Transdisciplinary Knowledge

Abstract

The Digital Humanities is a field of study, research, and teaching, that arises from the union of humanities and digital disciplines. It includes research, analysis and dissemination of knowledge through computer media. Through this research we will analyze the way in which computers process the Digital Humanities datasets so that they can be exchanged on the internet. In this paper, we will illustrate the strengths of their representation in terms of quantitative data through the semantic web. Finally, guidelines will be provided to create models to provide added value to the knowledge society.
