Audience:<\/strong> Academics, data scientists, crisis response teams, advocacy groups.
Connection to Digital Humanities:<\/strong> This goal aligns with DH principles of building and sharing open datasets that foster collaboration, critical inquiry, and public scholarship.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
