LAB1100: Digital Humanities Research and Development Specialists

LAB1100 is a pioneering research and development firm established in 2011 by Pim van Bree and Geert Kessels, headquartered in The Hague, Netherlands. Their joint skill set in new media, history, and software development allows them to conceptualise and develop complex software applications, positioning them uniquely at the intersection of technology and humanities research.

Core Mission and Services

LAB1100 develops data driven research environments and interactive web applications. They transform data, analyse data, visualise data, and train organizations to maximise the value of their data. The company specializes in converting scientific research into sophisticated digital solutions, ranging from illuminating visualizations to comprehensive multidisciplinary research platforms.

nodegoat: Revolutionary Research Platform

The cornerstone of LAB1100’s innovation is nodegoat, a web-based data management, network analysis, and visualisation environment. This flagship platform enables researchers to define any number of custom data models based on the specific needs of their research projects, making it extraordinarily versatile for diverse academic applications.

Global Academic Impact

LAB1100’s reach extends far beyond the Netherlands. On Monday 8 July 2024 they gave their 100th nodegoat workshop, reaching this milestone during the Historical Network Research Conference at the University of Lausanne. These workshops have brought them to 54 cities, 24 countries, and 3 continents. This demonstrates their commitment to knowledge transfer and global academic collaboration.

Institutional Partnerships

Working together with universities, research institutes, and museums, LAB1100 has built the digital research platform nodegoat and produces interactive data visualisations. Their client base spans prestigious institutions worldwide, from the University of Amsterdam to UCLA, reflecting their international reputation in digital humanities.

Technical Innovation

nodegoat allows users to share data and research outcomes with large audiences through interactive public user interfaces, democratizing access to complex research data. The platform’s object-oriented approach treats people, events, artifacts, and sources as equal entities, enabling sophisticated relational analysis across temporal and spatial dimensions.

LAB1100 represents the cutting edge of digital humanities, transforming how scholars interact with data through innovative technology solutions.
