Linked Data in the Humanities

This two-part workshop is an introduction to both the theory and praxis of publishing information using the Linked Open Data method. The workshop participants will discuss the opportunities, challenges, and the ethical considerations when publishing machine-readable information online, and the implications of combining datasets from various sources.

The aim of the workshop is to provide participants with a solid understanding of the theoretical basis of the Linked Data method. This is balanced by practical, hands-on exercises: we will design ontological structures to model data, try our hand at SPARQL queries, and look at examples of other Linked Data projects. The case studies and examples used throughout the workshop cover cultural heritage and the GLAM sector (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) as well as a range of domains in the Humanities, from Ancient History to Music.

Participants of all levels of technical skills and prior knowledge are welcome. A passion for data is a distinct advantage!

The workshop will run from 09:00 to 13:00 and will be conducted by Terhi Nurmikko-Fuller from the Australian National University.
