Presentation Ingeborg van Vugt on working with Nodegoat

Thinking about building a dataset for your historical research? And aspiring to explore, analyse and visualise your data through networks, time and space?

Nodegoat is an online, free and accessible object-oriented database tool that allows for researchers to build their own data model and filter and visualise their data in numerous ways. On January 16 2020, developers Pim van Bree and Geert Kessels (LAB1100) will conduct a workshop for those interested in working with Nodegoat.

The Huygens Institute for the History of the Netherlands (Huygens ING) in Amsterdam will be hosting this workshop, which is free of charge. There is a maximum number of 20 participants. All levels of experience are welcome, but an idea of a research question and proposed sources is indispensable. Bring your own laptop. Check the right for information on registration, .
