Digital humanities is just one method for conducting humanistic inquiry. Doing research in the humanities often boils down to finding a pattern—in a single text or across several texts—and then providing an interpretation of that pattern. In digital humanities, computation is used to assist in pattern recognition, pulling out patterns that would be difficult for humans to find unassisted. Interpretation of that pattern, however, remains the most important part of the process.
