Linked Jazz aligns with 2 major DH values. These values includes collaboration and experimentation.
Collaboration
The value of collaboration reflects a team effort of diverse and skillful people applying a free flow of information, introducing new perspectives and building on ideas. Often, collaboration incorporates an interdisciplinary approach using humanistic and computational methods between people across an ongoing dialogue. Linked Jazz heavily incorporates collaboration within the processing of relationship data using both a computational analyzer, which processes the data to identify connections between two Jazz artists, and a humanistic processing tool called 52nd Street.
Linked Jazz 52nd Street is a crowdsourcing tool that invites users anywhere to explain and detail further relationships between connected musicians. This method creates a larger and richer understanding of the complex relationships in Jazz history.
Experimentation
The value of experimentation reflects an exploration into testing new ideas and transforming approaches to methods of teaching and research undergoing the themes of curiosity and play. DH often employs experimentation to explore data, tools and methods to innovate intellectual questions and take needed risks to leverage information technology. Linked Jazz heavily uses the value of experimentation to develop ways to visualize data with the use of a Network Visualization Tool developed by Matt Miller back in 2012.
The Network Visualization Tool allows users to visualize the connections of individual jazz artists while viewing interviews, images, videos, and short biographies. The tool is consistently developed and updated over time, innovating on the information technology that it emphasizes.
Linked Jazz in this case meets the expectations of DH with clear mentions to these values.
