Past CDLs

Center for Data and Computing in Natural Sciences (CDCS)

As a pilot study for the HCDS, the CDCS is a joint facility of the University of Hamburg, the German Electron Synchrotron DESY and the Technical University of Hamburg. Located in the newly emerging Science City Bahrenfeld, it combines natural science research with state-of-the-art information technology. The CDCS is a project of the Landesforschungsförderung Hamburg X (funding code LFF-HHX-03) under the direction of Matthias Rarey. It comprises 4 CDLs and a Computational Core Unit, which serves as a blueprint for the Methodology Competence Center.

Digital Discourse Analyses in the Sociology of Knowledge (D-WISE)

The D-WISE project develops new computational analysis methods for the use of context-oriented embedding representations and a prototypical working environment as digital support for the Sociology of Knowledge Approach to Discourse (SKAD). The project investigates for which purposes, when, and how digital humanities procedures can be usefully integrated into qualitative discourse-analytical knowledge production.
