Are arXiv submissions on Wednesday better cited? Introducing Big Data methods in undergraduate courses on scientific computing
Extracting information from big data sets, both real and simulated, is a modern hallmark of the physical sciences. In practice, students face barriers to learning ``Big Data'' methods in undergraduate physics and astronomy curricula. As an attempt to alleviate some of these challenges, we present a simple, farm-to-table data analysis pipeline that can collect, process, and plot data from the 800k entries common to the arXiv preprint repository and the bibliographical database inSpireHEP. The pi…

HERITRACE in action: the ParaText project as a case study for semantic data management in Classical Philology
HERITRACE is a semantic data editor designed for cultural heritage institutions, addressing the gap between complex Semantic Web technologies and domain expert needs. ParaText Bibliographical Database, a specialized bibliographical database for ancient Greek exegesis, demonstrates HERITRACE's capabilities in Classical Philology. This paper examines how HERITRACE enables non-technical scholars to manage complex semantic data through SHACL-based form generation and validation, while ensuring comp…
