Aging from a Female Perspective: The Diaries of Anna Maria Preiswerk-Iselin (1758-1840) as a source for insights on the perception and coping with old age, illness, pain, and death. Geovistory is used to annotate the diary transcriptions and publish them as a digital edition.

Maritime History (pilot): Geovistory was used to integrate and structure various data collections related to the history of the Dutch East India Company. It allowed to quickly and easily create insightful visualizations. The semantic data produced with Geovistory is ready to be published.

The ideal support for historical research!

Team work made easy

Geovistory is a collaborative research environment, allowing you to pursue your research project with your colleagues or individually.

Take advantage of pre-configured profiles

Geovistory allows you to start right-away with your research thanks to the pre-configured profiles containing the most relevant entity classes. Profiles can be extended according to the needs of your research question.

Build on existing knowledge

Thanks to its data repository overarching all projects, Geovistory allows you to draw on data and information curated by previous research while you keep complete control over your own project.

FAIR principles put into practice!

Our Data Model is based on longstanding experience – it is the key to Geovistory implementing the FAIR principles.

Our data model corresponds to the growing demand in research and new funding requirments to produce open, interoperable and reusable research data.  

FAIR data

Data produced in Geovistory are semantically clear, interoperable and comply with FAIR principles thanks to the underlying ontology CIDOC-CRM and the connection to the ontology management platform OntoMe.

Open data

Geovistory contributes to creating an open pool of well curated research data about historical realities. Structured data generated in Geovistory are published under the CC-BY-SA 4.0 licence and can be reused under the same licence.

Event-centered data

Thanks to our event-centrered data model building on CIDOC-CRM, events and phenomena can be easily captured and entities changing over time are adequatly represented.

Our services

We combine knowledge and methodology from historical research and software engineering

Consultancy

To make your research data easily reusable in accordance with the FAIR principles, we design together with you the data model on which your research questions are based.

Data modelling & curation

We model the information in your existing data sets according to the CIDOC-CRM ontology and merge them so that a uniform and information-rich data set is created, which - if desired - can be managed and analysed in Geovistory.

Software engineering on demand

We extend Geovistory with features such as analysis tools or export formats to meet the research requirements of your project.

Training courses

We conduct training courses for you and your research team on all aspects of working with ontology-based virtual research platforms such as Geovistory.
