One value expressed through the Atlas of Economic Complexity is using data and evidence to better understand economic development and relationships between countries. By collecting and analyzing large amounts of trade and economic data, the Atlas gives researchers the opportunity to identify patterns, connections, and changes in economies over time. This relates to Digital Humanities because DH also uses digital data and evidence to better understand history, culture, and society. Just how the Atlas analyzes and organizes economic information, researchers in DH may analyze historical documents or other cultural information to identify patterns in how people and societies have changed. Although the two disciplines study different subjects, both place an importance on the use of technology, data, and evidence to discover patterns and gain a deeper understanding of society.
