In general, these observations confirm the inherent challenges of interdisciplinary DH projects, particularly when users are meant to engage with complex and multifaceted datasets (van den Berg et al. 2018). The findings, in particular, underline a preference for text-based approaches as outlined, e.g., by Drucker and Nowviskie (2004), who mention humanists’ resistance to visual forms of knowledge production. Along these lines, Vial (2016) and Grandjean (2022) see a need for training humanists in the effective use of digital tools, in general, and visual tools, in particular. Vial further argues that the challenge in designing tools for digital humanities is not merely to create a functional tool but to redefine and adapt the scholarly research experience. These issues and challenges also become strongly manifest in our own evaluation.
