Rola narzędzi cyfrowych w przetwarzaniu i udostępnianiu biogramów postaci historycznych

The dynamic growth of biographical research in recent years, both in traditional and digital forms, has led to an immense increase in available data but has also created the problem of repeated information about the same figures appearing in various works. This often forces researchers to search through dozens of biographical entries and databases to obtain a complete picture of a person’s life, which is time-consuming and creates interpretative challenges. This article proposes the use of digital methods, including the FAIR principles, Linked Open Data (LOD) standards, and Large Language Models (LLMs), to facilitate the access, exchange, and reuse of biographical data. It discusses methods that allow for the harmonization and integration of biographical data with reference databases, as well as solutions that enable browsing and sharing information from large text corpora using artificial intelligence and chatbot interfaces. The study also highlights the changes introduced by digital research methods, such as the separation of content from form and the possibility of diverse visualization of data, along with the need for researchers to change their way of thinking to align with the principles of open science.
