“…Hanna Piotrowska [33] used Italo Calvino's conceptual book "If on a winter's night a traveller" to visualise themes (see Figure 2, right). A number of visualisation tools were developed to aid the exploration of collections [3,7,8,12,18,44] as well as exploration of in-document relationships and geographies [13,31,32,36] and support for playful exploration of digital collections [42,45]. Most of these tools remain bound to digital representations, and are therefore largely out of scope here.…”

Personal collections, be they books, music, or artefacts have significance to the owner, and provide conversation and engagement with visitors. For example visitors of physical libraries may browse the spines, select a book, and begin a conversation. When the collection is digital it cannot be engaged with in the same manner and it becomes more difficult to share and explore with others. Physical data visualisation is becoming more popular, supported by new technologies, such as 3D printing, and the resurgence of crafting. This paper reports our investigation of digital library and eBook metadata visualisation using knitting. We report on our design considerations, a digital prototype to explore knitted library shawls, and a knitted prototype for a personal digital library.

Text mining and information visualisation techniques applied to large-scale historical and literary document collections have enabled new types of humanities research. The assumption behind such efforts is often that trends will emerge from the analysis despite errors for individual data points and that noise will be dominated by the signal in the data. However, for some text analysis tasks, the technology is unable to perform as well as domain experts, perhaps because it does not have sufficient world knowledge or metadata available. Yet, the advantage of language processing technology is that it can process at scale, even if not perfectly accurately. Geo-locating literary works is one example where human expert knowledge is invaluable when it comes to distinguishing between candidate works.
