SEASR: Engineering Knowledge for the Humanities

by SEASR Team.

At the Software Environment for the Advancement of Scholarly Research, we’re answering the humanities community’s call for a research and development environment capable of powering leading digital humanities initiatives. Our Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded project is developing essential cyberinfrastructure technology.

What can SEASR do for scholars?

  • help scholars to access existing large data stores more readily
  • provide scholars with enhanced data synthesis and query analysis: from focused data retrieval and data integration, to intelligent human-computer interactions for knowledge access, to semantic data enrichment, to entity and relationship discovery, to knowledge discovery and hypothesis generation
  • empower collaboration among scholars by enhancing and innovating virtual research environments

What kind of innovations does SEASR provide for the humanities?

  • a complete, fully integrated, state-of-the-art software environment for managing structured and unstructured data and analyzing digital libraries, repositories and archives, as well as educational platforms
  • an open source, end-to-end software system that enables researchers to develop, evolve, and maintain data interoperability, evaluation, analysis, and visualization

Get involved! We are eager to collaborate with humanities scholars and digital humanities experts and developers. If you would like to help shape SEASR’s development or adapt SEASR technology to your project, please get in touch with us.

  • What is SEASR?

    The informatics specialists behind SEASR saw the digital humanities’ need for software to bridge these technical gaps: a need for technical and informational exchange. At SEASR, our mission is to leverage existing technology and invent new technology to enable humanities computing resources to communicate.
