This module will introduce students to theories of data modelling and how modelling is used within digital humanities projects. The theories surrounding data oriented and document oriented modelling approaches will be discussed and explored. Students will become familiar with different types of models used in digital humanities projects, such as, hierarchical tree models and relational modelling structures. Students will gain an understanding of how to implement a hierarchical tree model by creating custom XML, the Extensible Mark-up Language, to represent humanities documents and data. Students will become familiar with using relational models, such as, Entity-Relationship models, to also represent humanities data. The strengths and weaknesses of each modelling approach will be examined and will aid students in adopting the correct model to use in a digital humanities project of their choosing with appropriate technologies.
