Students will explore the available digital numismatic resources (for example NUMiD, MANTIS, and Nomisma) and learn to use them for research. We will learn the principles of Linked Open Data (LOD), the backbone of most modern digital humanities projects.
Students will learn to document and photograph coins and other archival material using readily available technology (digital SLRs and smartphone cameras) as well as methods of data visualization and statistical analysis using Excel (histograms; charts; basic statistics).
Once students are familiar with basic digital numismatic methods and the available resources, we will go "under the hood" to engage with the data structures that underlie these resources. Students will learn about the creation, use, and maintenance of databases for the purpose of research and publication by participating first-hand in the digitization of the Central Card File (the department’s collection of over 1 million file cards containing information on coins, primarily from auction catalogues). Students will document the cards and enter them into the database, providing valuable hands-on experience and allowing them to take part in an original, ongoing digital numismatics project.Bitte besuchen Sie unsere allgemeine Vorbesprechung zum Semesterbeginn am Mittwoch, den 1.10.2025, um 16:30 Uhr im Hörsaal des Instituts für Numismatik und Geldgeschichte, Franz-Klein-Gasse 1, 1190 Wien, um weitere Informationen zu unseren Lehrveranstaltungen und Studienangeboten zu erhalten.
