DAMAST - an interactive research environment

Prof. Dr. Dorothea Weltecke and Dr. Florian Jäckel
Institut für Geschichtswissenschaften
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin



 Friday, February 16, 12:00-1:00 pm (EST)

Hosted by Sabine Schmidtke (School of Historical Studies, IAS)
and María Mercedes Tuya (Digital Scholarship, IAS).

Damast is an interactive research environment for visualizing the
multi-religious situation in the Islamicate world from 600 to 1400 CE. For
the first time, all the existing geographical and chronological data about
communities of Dhimmis under Muslim rule have been gathered together into
one Database. Over 8,300 pieces of evidence at more than 440 locations are
part of the database. They are visualized on a map, a timeline and
displayed in various tables. Various filters, such as time, location,
religious community and source allow detailed inspection of the data.
Results of the research remain accessible as a report and can be
referenced. Our presentation will introduce the research environment and
the underlying concepts, explains some of its features - and its
shortcomings.
