The Discourse Analysis Tool Suite (DATS, former DWTS) is an ML-powered web-based application designed on the basis of digital discourse analytical approaches with a focus on the Sociology of knowledge approach to discourse that aims to support social scientists and researchers of Digital Humanities with their work. Hermeneutic-circular methods, filtering, and scalable reading are prevalent concepts. Further, AI-in-the-loop, multimodal, and big data are core to the D-WISE Project and, thus, are considered throughout the development of the tool’s features.

Core features of the Discourse Analysis Tool Suite include:

• Data Acquisition
• Annotation / Coding & Tagging
• Filtering & Semantic Search
• Data Analysis & Visualization
• Documentation of the research process
