Nodegoat Day Workshop

The Nodegoat Day Workshop, organised by the Institute of History of the Czech Academy of Sciences, in cooperation with Lab1100, will take place on 12 November 2025 at the Academic Conference Center, Husova 4a, Prague 1.

Invitation

Nodegoat is a web-based research environment for the management, analysis and visualisation of data in the humanities, widely used by the international research community. Since 2024, nodegoat has also been available as an institutional installation at the Czech Academy of Sciences. This workshop will provide an opportunity for researchers, digital humanists, and data enthusiasts to explore the potential of nodegoat, and to share and exchange their practical experiences with its implementation.

The workshop will open with a keynote talk by Dr. Kaspar Gubler from the University of Bern, the project leader of the Repertorium Academicum Germanicum (RAG). The programme will also include a presentation of the new features of Nodegoat and a Q&A session with the platform's developers, Geert Kessels and Pim van Bree. This will be a unique opportunity to meet the authors of nodegoat directly, ask questions and discuss individual data models and research projects.

We invite proposals for presentations, posters and short discussion contributions related to nodegoat and its applications in various fields in the humanities and social sciences.

We especially welcome contributions from those who use the institutional installation of Nodegoat at the Czech Academy of Sciences. However, users of the system from all over the world are equally and cordially invited to participate and share their experiences.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to

• Case studies illustrating the use of Nodegoat
• Data modelling, structuring and visualisation techniques
• Network analysis and geospatial applications using Nodegoat
• Interoperability between Nodegoat and other digital research tools
• Innovative workflows and methodologies enabled by Nodegoat
