Onderzoeker, KNAW Humanities Cluster

I am Dirk Roorda, since 2022 working for KNAW/Humanities Cluster/Team Text, after 15 years at DANS, and my goal is to bridge the remaining gap between researchers of texts and the world of computing. To that end I have developed Text-Fabric, a tool that helps you research your family of texts. Together with specialized scholars, I have used it for the Hebrew Bible, the Quran, various sets of cuneiform tablets, and Dutch historical texts.
