Recogito, a tool to annotate and tag relevant information on the online version of the text
Google Sheets, three spreadsheets to catalog and systematize facts about people, title, and first mentions of presence. Data sheets were also exported and cross-checked with the manually-collected data.
Palladio, a tool to visualize the first mentions of each person and which people attended which event.
Further work could include the popularity of each event to show the flow of the procession from one locale to the next, by using blueflow.map. In addition to that, we could geo-rectify a historical map of Ghent to pinpoint locales in the party (as shown in the Florence project linked here https://decima-map.net). One longer project might wish to consider the differences in ranking and hierarchy among the various titles ascribed to various Belgian/Flemish nobles; in such sense, we believe that one repository to check is the Mormons Latter Day Saints' genealogy website, and the website https://search.ancestry.com/Places/Europe/Belgium/Default.aspx
