The aim of presented paper is to outline the concept of the issuing of the seventh volume of the source edition "Codex diplomaticus et epistolaris regni Bohemiae" and its digital version. As a reaction to the changes in the diplomatic material at the end of the 13th century (in connection with the changes of stylization e.g. because of the permeation of the principles of Canon and Roman law into the charters or an influence of professional notaries educated in the domestic notary school in Vyšehrad, or with regard to the emergence of the official books, especially formularies), the editors decided to change a concept of issuing of CDB. In the first phase there will be processed and finished the second part of "Katalog listin a listů k VII. dílu Českého diplomatáře" and its on-line publishing in a form of database on website. The second phase will be connected with the preparation of the critical edition in a traditional printed as well as a digital form.

The article introduces a new area of the transdisciplinary scientific study of religion which combines methods from the humanities and sciences with a special focus on the study of complex adaptive systems. It discusses the area's theoretical aims and conditions while offering a short review of selected case studies which demonstrate the merit of the approach. The paper joins present epistemological discussions about combining the expertise of the sciences and humanities and takes a pragmatic stance between the normative exhortation for the scientific study of religions and the discussion of innovative methodological horizons emerging from digital humanities. The central position is dedicated to the practice of "formalizing modeling" and its possible research utility in the historically grounded study of religions. On the one hand, the article notices the limited contribution of the cognitive science of religion project to a historiographical study of religions. On the other hand, the article discusses the limits of conventional historiography arising from an orientation to the histories of events and persons rather than to histories of so-called "long duration". Generally, the paper argues for the complementing of the "close reading" of historical sources with "distant reading" and hypothesis-driven research utilizing a variety of formal modeling approaches (GIS, agent-based modeling, complex networks) and computer-based methods. The discussed methods offer new ways of representing data and are understood not only as innovative means of solving historical problems but also as a platform for asking new questions based on the fusion of scientific and humanistic imaginations.
The advanced use of digital technologies, the existence of freely accessible structured knowledge bases, the increasing level of standardization and the needs of the scientific community offer those who process bibliographical data qualitatively new options for processing such data. In line with current trends in accessing scientific data, which are also reflected in the development of scientific policies (FAIR principles, open science, linkable open data, etc.), the issue of the re-use of existing datasets is gaining in importance. The present text uses the example of the Literarybibliography.eu portal to indicate the options for creating an international subject bibliography for literary studies from existing data sources, while discussing both the theoretical concept behind the project and the technological and methodological issues involved in the creation of such a bibliography, especially the harmonization and further enhancement of the source data.

The NottDeuYTSch corpus contains over 33 million words taken from approximately 3 million YouTube comments from videos published between 2008 to 2018 targeted at a young, German-speaking demographic and represents an authentic language snapshot of young German speakers. The corpus was proportionally sampled based on video category and year from a database of 112 popular German-speaking YouTube channels in the DACH region for optimal representativeness and balance and contains a considerable amount of associated metadata for each comment that enable further longitudinal cross-sectional analyses.
