Data Publication and Linked Data in the Humanities

November 12th, 2012, 09:30-16:30
Council Chamber, National Library of Wales

About the event
Leading figures from the digital humanities, libraries and archives
community will address the major challenges in transferring recent
developments in the Semantic Web from research laboratories into the
real world of humanities research. The term "linked data" covers a set
of principles and approaches for publishing, sharing and linking data
over the Web, in particular by using semantic web technologies.
Humanities researchers have access to a great deal of digital material,
whether produced by other researchers or by digitisation programmes in
archives and museums. However, even when these resources are accessible
over the Web, they are often held in dispersed, individual silos that
are difficult to access in an integrated fashion because of the variety
of formats, vocabularies and standards employed to represent them. Such
resources would be much more useful to scholars if they could be linked
up and explored as a single rich data landscape.

The seminar will investigate how linked data could serve the digital
arts and humanities by bringing together international experts in the
semantic web to discuss existing approaches in the digital arts and
humanities.

This workshop is co-organised by the National Library of Wales and
King’s College, London, and funded by JISC.

There is no charge to attend the workshop, however, registration is
essential by sending e-mail to Angharad Medi Lewis at NLW: a...@llgc.org.uk
