DESCRIPTION:André Bruggmann\nAs the amount of unstructured text documents
  available in online digital libraries has been steadily rising in the pas
 t years\, exciting new research avenues open up for the sciences and human
 ities to harvest these vast digital text archives. Many challenges still r
 emain to efficiently uncover spatio-temporal and semantic relationships bu
 ried in non-numeric databases\, and to visualize the extracted meanings ap
 propriately to an information seeker. The aim of my PhD research titled Sp
 atializing History is to first develop a sound methodological framework to
  extract spatial\, temporal\, and semantic information from an online Swis
 s history archive\, second\, to uncover latent relationships\, and finally
 \, to make these relationships visually accessible to an end user through 
 an interactive visual interface\, based on cartographic design principles 
 and visual analytics approaches. With this interdisciplinary contribution 
 at the interface of geography\, geographic information science\, history\,
  and the digital humanities\, we hope to provide novel strategies for spat
 io-temporal knowledge discovery in a data rich information society.
