Humanities Computing applies computer power to the humanities in order to:  create long-lived textual corpora, digital libraries, bibliographies, indexes, and databases  make these available online  make new discoveries with the assistance of computer analysis  perform linguistic analyses  perform authorship identification studies  create dictionaries and critical editions  bring history alive with multimedia  implement effective educational methods (e.g. the electronic classroom)  improve the potential for grant funding  increase your department 's visibility and its value to the administration  RelTech consultants will help you to create, maintain, and analyze computer-based resources. We have qualifications in the humanities, science, and computing. Our experience in humanities computing includes:  encoding and imaging large text corpora  manipulation and computer analysis of encoded texts  automated collation of parallel texts  multivariate analysis (this mode of analysis has many applications)  programming (SQL, C++, Java, Perl, JavaScript, and other scripting languages)  We use open source software and standards such as XML, TEI, and Unicode in order to maximize the utility of the resources that we create. A standards-based approach ensures that your computer resources will work with contemporary computer systems and will remain useful well into the future. Open source software provides a low-cost, reliable, and convenient means by which to access and analyze the data. There is much potential for new discovery by applying computer analytical techniques in the humanities. In addition, once the resources have been created, they remain a permanent contribution to scholarship.
