Insights into the Data Analysis of the Repertorium Academicum Germanicum (RAG)

"Was du nit waißt das solt du fragen, las dir das ain geleerten sagen"—Insights into the Data Analysis of the Repertorium Academicum Germanicum (RAG)

For as long as universities have existed in Europe (Paris and Bologna since around 1200), scholars have competed with non-academic experts, and taught knowledge has conflicted with practical and everyday knowledge. The Repertorium Academicum Germanicum (RAG) has set itself the task of tracing this process of competition and exchange between knowledge carriers and knowledge domains. The RAG database currently offers biographical and knowledge-based information about individuals and collectives on almost 64,000 scholars from all countries of the former Roman-German Empire (Germany, Switzerland, Benelux, Austria-Hungary, Czech Republic, parts of France and Italy) for the period from 1250 to 1550. In the RAG, persons qualify as scholars who have at least the academic degree of a Magister artium or equivalent. The talk provides insights into the dynamic visualisation of contextualised biographies, networks, communication spaces, etc.

About This Series

Brown Bag Lunch is a bi-weekly meeting of researchers at the MPIWG who use or want to learn more about digital research methods, broadly encompassed by the term Digital Humanities. In the Brown Bag Lunch meetings, researchers can discuss tools, share ideas and experiences (good and bad), and learn from each other. Each session explores a new topic; workshops are usually interactive, and we often invite external speakers. Please feel free to bring your lunch, and a laptop or notebook in order to participate!
