- Pre-Class Reflection:
- [Examine this website](https://whatisdigitalhumanities.com/), hit the _New Quote_-button a few times, and read the definition that appears. Some guiding questions:
- How do the definitions you encounter vary each time you refresh the page? What does this diversity tell you about the nature of Digital Humanities as a field? What are the commonalities between the definitions? What are the differences? Consider the role technology plays in these definitions. Is it merely a tool, or does it fundamentally reshape the humanities?

- Play around with [Google's Ngram Viewer](https://books.google.com/ngrams) to investigate two terms of your choice (e.g. 'car' vs. 'automobile'). Analyze and interpret the trends you observe. Consider the following: what intriguing patterns -- if any -- emerge? Can specific historical events explain shifts in the usage of these terms? You are welcome to do a quick online search to support your interpretations, but keep it concise -- no more than three sentences for each term.

- Pre-Class Exercise:
- [Explore the Princeton University Historical Postcard Collection](https://dpul.princeton.edu/historical-postcards) and select a postcard that you find interesting. Critically analyze it using **one** of the following guiding questions:

1. If available, find the same postcard on a different online platform. Note differences in color, detail, or cropping. What do these variations suggest about digitizing analog materials?
2. Assess the quality of the digital images. Are there details potentially lost or misrepresented in the digital version?
3. Look at the metadata provided alongside the digital surrogate. How does this information affect your understanding of the postcard?
4. Reflect on your experience navigating the digital collection. How does the digital interface impact your exploration and understanding?
5. Hypothesize about how viewing the postcards digitally might differ from viewing them in person.
6. What do you think the digitization process for this collection was like? What challenges might have been encountered? What choices were made?

title: Week 4 - Molding and Modeling Data
---

In this module, we investigate the critical procedures involved in annotating data, thereby preparing it for analysis. These processes invariably entail the making of mindful decisions. As we gear up for the hands-on tutorials, we also explore an integral component of data analysis: data modeling. We will demystify this process, its bearing on our data handling techniques, and what constitutes an effective data model. In the second meeting of this week, students will present their Data Biographies.
