Digital Scholarship

The term Digital Scholarship refers to the use of digital, data-driven methods like data analysis, machine learning and big data technologies which are opening up new research methodologies in all disciplines. UB Bern provides support by making data and tools available, educating and offering guidance on their use, and also conducting its own data-driven projects.

Berner Ortsgeschichten from 1975

The project for Linked Open Data (LOD), data enrichment, and georeferencing has been completed. In addition to the local histories from the 19th century, the Berner Ortsgeschichten from 1975 are now publicly accessible via DigiBern

By adding links to external websites, existing digitized materials and bibliographic metadata related to locations in the Canton of Bern gain informational value. The display on a map (georeferencing) also creates an intuitive access to these titles and enables new uses.
