ZenMEM tools and services

Research in the Digital Humanities is based on the processing, analysis and visualisation of research data. Although different research questions lead to different requirements for technical implementation, there are frequently recurring questions that can be answered with the help of generic tools. ZenMEM has developed or contributed to the development of some of these tools as part of various projects. On this page we present some of these tools.
