História Medieval e Ciência de Dados A inovação na produção de conhecimento histórico auxiliada pelas tecnologias da informação

This paper aims to demonstrate how the interconnection between Medieval History and Data Science can contribute to advancing historical studies. To this end, we will present the resulting products of the post-doctoral research entitled “O pobre e a pobreza na Alta Idade Média (séculos VI-IX): estudo linguístico e histórico”, made under the supervision of Marcelo Cândido da Silva, with a scholarship by FAPESP (process no. 2018/11355-8) on poverty between the 6th and 9th centuries in the Western Medieval world: i) a database on the lexicon of poverty in the Early Middle Ages, available for the public at https:// thirisi.github.io/Projeto-PaupeR/; ii) the PaupeR program, a new tool developed in the R language, for generating and consolidating data in a way that makes it possible to explore it from different statistical perspectives; and iii) a public repository with all the information generated by this research, where visitors can access, download and copy it, available at the following web address: https://github.com/thirisi/Projeto-PaupeR. With this, we hope to contribute not only to understanding the issue of poverty in the period in question, but also to lay foundations for new explorations of historical data, as well as new interpretations and new methodologies for historical studies analysis.
