D8.1.3 - Whitepaper on the Results Using uBIQUity on Bible and Qur'anic Commentaries (ONFIELD)

This document illustrates the scientific advances enabled by the uBIQUity methodology and software, drawing on the experience of specialists/testers from the scholarly community. It not only describes uBIQUity’s performance in theory (as previously detailed in D8.1.2) but also presents the results of its “on-field” application. More specifically, the whitepaper first devotes considerable attention to the state of the art at the intersection of biblical and Islamic studies and digital technologies. The sections titled “The New Tool for Intertextual Reference Retrieval”, “Methodology”, and “Findings” then provide significant and detailed information on the tool and the results of uBIQUity’s field operations, showing both the outcomes of user testing and the effectiveness of the algorithms. In doing so, the document highlights the role of the uBIQUity platform not only as a prototype but also as a potential instrument for generating new knowledge and opening new avenues of research.
