This 2003 project was a collaboration with Johanna Drucker and Bethany Nowviskie at the University of Virginia, with input from other scholars in the humanities. Hopefully it will prove useful to others working visualization of time, causality, or the nimble construction of loose networks in any domain.
Like many projects in the digital humanities, this was an attempt to stack water--to take something fluid, suggestive, subjective and crystallize it into data models that can be shared and built upon with confidence. Time figures prominently in all the humanities, but each discipline (history, anthropology, literature, film, etc) has its own vocabulary and areas of interest, for example:
- Calendrical systems
- Cycles and patterns
- Chains of causality
- Events as remembered by participants in history or narrative
In the Temporal Modelling project, we tried to establish a common vocabulary and system of visual notation, while trying to preserve the added dimensions inherent in each discipline's treatment of time. For more information about the original Temporal Modelling Project, see: http://www2.iath.virginia.edu/time/project/.
UPDATE: I've revived and updated our simple test server, now running at http://ibang.com:8080/TemporalModelling.
