Linking Open Data: the Pelagios Ontology Workshop
The Pelagios workshop is an open forum for discussing the issues
associated with and the infrastructure required for developing methods
of linking open data (LOD), specifically geodata. There will be a
specific emphasis on places in the ancient world, but the practices
discussed should be equally applicable to contemporary named
locations. The Pelagios project will also make available a proposal
for a lightweight methodology prior to the event in order to focus
discussion and elicit critique.
The one-day event will have 3 sessions dedicated to:
1) Issues of referencing ancient and contemporary places online
2) Lightweight ontology approaches
3) Methods for generating, publishing and consuming compliant data
Each session will consist of several short (15 min) papers followed by
half an hour of open discussion. The event is FREE to all but places
are LIMITED so participants are advised to register early. This is
likely to be of interest to anyone working with digital humanities
resources with a geospatial component.
