The Belgrade Center for Digital Humanities (BCDH) is a leading Serbian institution exploring the use of computational methods in the study of traditional humanities disciplines. With a strong focus on data modelling, digital editions, standards-compliant lexicographic resources and the development of training materials, BCDH is forging an infrastructural approach to humanities computing with the goal of making historical, literary and cultural heritage as well as contemporary artistic production accessible, reusable, and open to creative computational interventions. BCDH is closely cooperating with the Institute for Serbian Language of the Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences on a nationally-funded project digitizing Serbian lexicographic heritage and building a dictionary platform along with a set of tools and APIs for the scholarly exploration of lexical data.
