“…In addition, in recent years, immersive technologies such as virtual and augmented reality are changing the way we communicate about place and time. As shown in previous studies, using the recently developed 3D GIS and related visualization technologies, we can virtually travel through different realistic landscapes at different times in history (Nakaya et al, 2010). Bruggmann and Fabrikant (2016) propose a GIScience approach to information search and access to visually explore digital text archives typically employed in the humanities.…”

PurposeThis study aims to update and extend previous efforts gauging the status of the quickly evolving field of digital humanities (DH). Based on a sample of directly relevant DH literature during 2005–2020 from Web of Science, the study conducts a longitudinal examination of the research output, intellectual structures and contributors.Design/methodology/approachThe study applies bibliometric methods, social network analysis and visualization tools to conduct a longitudinal examination.FindingsThe research output and scope of DH topics has grown over time with a widening and deepening field in four major development stages. Through both term frequency and term co-occurrence relationship networks, this study further identifies four major reoccurring topics and themes of DH research: (1) collections and contents; (2) technologies, techniques, theories and methods; (3) collaboration, interdisciplinarity and support and (4) DH evolution. Finally, leading DH research contributors (authors, institutions and nations) are also identified.Originality/valueThis study utilizes a greater number of and richer subject sources than previous efforts to identify the overall intellectual structures of DH research based on key terms from titles, abstracts and author keywords. It expands on previous efforts and furthers our understanding of DH research with more recent DH literature and richer subject sources from the literature.

“…Nakaya et al. (2010) propose a digital reconstruction of the city of Kyoto at different time‐stamps and display historical and cultural heritage multimedia content in the 3D scene. Schindler and Dellaert (2012) propose these methods to reference images spatially and temporally and to automatically reconstruct 3D models represented by these images.…”

Many geographic features such as 3D city models, real‐time sensor data and multimedia documents (photo, audio, video, etc.) are nowadays available for describing urban areas. These heterogeneous geographic features are multidimensional (spatial, thematic and temporal), can have multiple representations (text, iconography, etc.) and can be modeled using diverse formats. Browsing and crossing these features can help us to analyze and understand the past and present and plan the future evolution of cities. Furthermore, doing so in a web context allows us to share and enrich them in a collective way. In this article we propose a new generic model (GenLinkable) for integrating such features. We also propose the Gen4DCity‐Doc model which specifies GenLinkable to integrate multimedia documents and time‐evolving 3D city models for web visualization and navigation. Gen4DCity‐Doc extends previous research results by integrating new resources describing cities (multimedia documents). Gen4DCity‐Doc is implemented in a web prototype based on a four‐tier architecture using and enhancing open source software and standards. Finally, we also demonstrate that these models open up new navigation possibilities in 3D city models and in multimedia documents through a 3D web interface, which is a current challenge, especially to help researchers in urban history.

“…This does not mean that HGIS is declining, but rather implies that the discipline is extending beyond the boundaries of the social sciences and is becoming applicable to a wide range of disciplines (Knowles, 2016). With proven quantitative and qualitative capabilities (Cope & Elwood, 2009; Sui, 2015; Wang, 2006), HGIS enables us to perform various tasks such as interogating cartographic materials (Manzano, Martínez, & San‐Antonio‐Gomez, 2012), analyzing maps and sketches (Pavlovskaya, 2016), detecting land use and landscape changes (Bender, Boehmer, Jens, & Schumacher, 2005; Herold, 2018; San‐Antonio‐Gómez, Velilla, & Manzano‐Agugliaro, 2014), creating deep maps for examining the meaning of places and serving as multimedia conveyors of places and the everyday lives of their inhabitants (Bodenhamer, Corrigan, & Harris, 2015), reconstructing historical landscape and cityscape (whether in 2D or 3D) (de Boer, 2010; Georgoula, Stamnas, Patias, Georgiadis, & Fragkoulidou, 2013; Nakaya et al, 2010; Rubinowicz & Czyńska, 2015), and resolving complex scenarios of past phenomena or catastrophes (Verhagen & Jeneson, 2012; Zohar, 2017). Additionally, it is now possible to inspect the development of narratives using map stories (Mennis, Mason, & Cao, 2013) and creating new forms of past virtual knowledge (Gregory & Healy, 2007; Knowles, 2008).…”

Advancing the historical geography of late Ottoman and British Mandate Palestine using GIScience: A review

Late Ottoman Empire and Mandate Palestine are two important periods preceding independent Israel, characterized by increased attention to Palestine along with modernization processes and substantial landscape changes. Significant increase is also noted in survey and mapping, resulting in a wealth of visual sources. However, while textual sources were used intensively in various studies, the latter were analyzed to a much lesser extent. A major discipline based on the study of visual sources is historical geography. However, lately it seems that historical geography worldwide seeks for new approaches while struggling to retain dominancy in an environment becoming more computerized and technological. In this article I review the opportunities, pitfalls, and challenges of incorporating GIScience into the historical geography of late Ottoman and Mandate Palestine. Accordingly, it is suggested that a proper integration will contribute a substantial theoretical and methodological novelty while boosting the discipline of historical geography as well as other social sciences and humanities disciplines.
