The DFG project, which is being carried out in cooperation with the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities, analyses the practice and dissemination of papal delegated jurisdiction on the Iberian Peninsula in the 12th century. A corpus of approx. 1000 retro-digitised and approx. 200 newly edited papal documents will be compiled and annotated as part of the project. On the basis of this database, the development of specific legal formulas will be analysed using text mining methods and a historical network analysis of the networks of actors involved in delegated jurisdiction will be carried out.

The project “Methods of Digital Humanities in Application for the Development and Use of Web Archives”, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), pursues the goal of applying methods and tools of the Digital Humanities to data sets from web archives. The focus is on testing innovative and intuitive access methods and implementing procedures for automated and user-controlled collection development. In order to test the research-related usability of the methods and tools, a political science case study will be carried out.

PACE's guiding theme is “Multimodal construction and reception of cultural patterns”. The center researches how text, image and audio interact in order to attribute meanings to objects in the context of digital and digitized media. It also creates the necessary structural conditions for this. The researchers analyze computer-aided patterns in various digital(ised) media and deal with methods for their representation, annotation and the (partially) automated discovery of multimodal knowledge in large digital material corpora.
