| Abstract | During the centuries of their existence, Regesta Imperii have gathered an immense mass of information. Probably best known for their OPAC - the biggest medieval OPAC worldwide - the enterprise now is about to offer new possibilities for historical research. At the heart of these efforts is a new software which is able to extract certain data and transform them into immediately comprehensible, nevertheless adequately complex graphics, thus offering historians a new approach to their material. |
