Die Präsentation umfasst die Beschreibung der Datenerhebung (Transkriptionsdaten und Namen), sowie der Suche nach Namen in den Transkriptionen und eine erste Analyse von Hinzufügungen, Auslassungen und Variationen von Namen.
Short bio:
Dr. Soham Al-Suadi has been a Professor of New Testament at the University of Rostock since 2017. Her research focuses on the integration of digital technologies with New Testament studies, utilizing interdisciplinary methods and digital tools to analyze biblical texts. Together with Prof. Dr. Frank Krüger and Prof. Dr. Gotlind Ulshöfer, she leads the DFG project GenderVarianten.
From 2018 to 2023, Christoph Werner completed his studies in Applied Computer Science at Wismar University. Since 2023, he has been working as a research associate in the DFG project "GenderVarianten — Revisionen von Genderkonstruktionen in Textüberlieferungen". His responsibilities include the processing of transcription data from the Münster New Testament Virtual Manuscript Room, as well as from projects of the International Greek New Testament Project at the University of Birmingham.
Dr.-Ing. Frank Krüger has been Professor of Data Science and Machine Learning at Wismar University of Applied Sciences since 2022. His research interests include information extraction and data integration from unstructured and heterogeneous data sources. A particular focus of his work is the documentation of data provenance and its revision levels. In the GenderVarianten project, he is following the goal of automatically identifying gender-specific changes in order to work against distortions in the presentation and aggregation of contained information at an early stage.
