AbstractBetween the documents and the published results of historical research, there are several steps, in which the textual edition may (or may not) be involved. Historians have to define and constitute their 'sources' as such, and the process of analysis is divided in multiple stages. The first analysis is done in encoding and formatting the data (e.g.reading, understanding and expanding abbreviations, identifying persons and places); a second step may intervene in submitting this data to different sorts of transformations or (semi-) automatized analysis, whose results still have to be (humanly) interpreted. This session will explore the links between data formats, data exploitation, tools, and results of historical research.
