Humanities big data and its application in the field of digital humanities

Abstract

Humanities big data refers to large-scale data based on digitized or digitally generated data that is considered to be in the realm of humanities and arts.Compared with science, engineering and social science data, humanities data is a kind of “deep data” with more mixed sources, more diverse formats, more diverse dimensions, more complex data levels and richer connotations, so there are greater difficulties in the process of data analysis.Focused on humanities big data and its characteristics to identify the key issues in the application of humanities big data research, the complex situation of big data as a collective concept was highlighted, as well as the possible misunderstanding, while highlighting the value of humanities big data.
