Abstract
Abstract:Memory research has become a hot topic in the field of digital humanities (DH). DH methods and tools can help to realize the intellectualization and visualization of urban memory. This paper uses the knowledge map (KM) approach to organize, process, and mine archives and documentation data related to urban memory in order to build a map for the reorganization and reconstruction of urban memory. Thus, it proposes a three-tiered “concept-instance-resource” conceptual model. Furthermore, it takes the Beijing city gates as a case to test the effectiveness of this conceptual model. We believe this study provides a good exploration of the use of DH methods and tools in memory practice.
