SNAP activity at LP7 (Ghent Dec 13–21)?

[Gabriel Bodard]

Dear all,

I would like to call your attention to two calls: (1) for activities; (2) for posters, for the Linked Pasts Symposium, hosted by Ghent University and CLARIAH Flanders from Dec 13-17 (online) and Dec 20-21 (in person). We are interested in discussions, hackathons, new project planning, and other practical activities, in the area of Linked Open Data and the historical world.

Do we want to propose a SNAP activity/discussion/hackathon this year, to continue and/or take in another direction work and conversations started last year at LP6?

(1) Call for Activities:

There will be space for suggestion and selection of activities at the conference, but we also welcome proposals for research activities, which may include (but are not restricted to): development of standards, ontologies and research applications; discovery and integration of datasets; enrichment and annotation of textual collections; collaboration, pedagogy and community expansion; other relevant undertakings with a focus on Linked Open Data and the historical world.

To propose a stream or working group for the conference programme, please fill in the form at <https://forms.gle/Z3aj3UfixTNENyaB8> with a max. 200-word abstract outlining your suggestion, type of activity and the medium in which it will be run, and some indication of the likely participants (e.g. names, community or expected stakeholders) by the end of Monday October 18, 2021.

(2) Call for posters:

In the absence of individual presentations and lectures, posters are a great way to share a project, dataset, method or activity related to the LOD and historical or heritage research, and discuss your work in a less formal setting with other interested attendees. We will hold an online digital poster session available throughout the symposium. To propose a poster, please send an abstract of 100–150 words to gabriel...@sas.ac.uk by the end of Monday October 18, 2021.
