Ubiquity Platform. Data Visualization for Digital Humanities

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how node-based UI can overcome the limitations of AI text-based UI in terms of user experience and cognitive overload. It focuses on the development of Ubiquity, a digital platform that can enhance automatic text comparison in the field of religious studies. The platform’s objective is to produce new interpretations of the Scriptures and reconstruct the collective memory of religious communities over time. The study highlights the transdisciplinary team’s pivotal role in balancing the analytical approach of computer science with the interpretive approach of humanities. Ubiquity will assist researchers in formulating new research questions and keeping track of their reasoning. Instead of substituting humans, Ubiquity will use AI as a powerful aide.
