Network Science
meets
Digital History
and
Prosopography
This workshop, a satellite meeting of NetSci2023 (Vienna, July 10th-14th, 2023) aims at bringing together researchers active in studying applications of networks in digital humanities to discuss state-of-the-art, share knowledge across disciplines, and create opportunities for novel and fruitful collaborations.
The main goal of historians focused on prosopography is identifying patterns in relationships and biographical data in order to investigate the characteristics of a group of people. Due to the relational nature of the data, networks are ideal candidates to represent these interactions, and we would like to discuss possible applications of advanced methods in temporal and multilayer networks which could offer an insight on the diachronic evolution of the relations.
