On 3 October, David Zbíral successfully passed the first step in the procedure towards full professorship. In his lecture for academic public, he presented the digital humanities approach towards medieval history.
He introduced DISSINET project’s original approach to data collection and the InkVisitor software, outlined several possible patterns for analysis of structured data from inquisition trials and discussed which answers can be obtained through computational methods, also mentioning possible pitfalls. The DISSINET team keeps fingers crossed for the future steps in front of scientific boards of the faculty and the university.

A visualisation of DISSINET's more than 11,000-item Zotero library mapped by subject domain, root collection down to individual topic, shows the team’s focus in bibliographic terms, and how that reading spans history, network science, and computational text analysis.
