Attending the Bridging Communities of Practice: Emerging Technologies for Content-Centered Linking Workshop

College of Information Studies University of Maryland, College Park

Hornbake Library, South Wing, Room 2119
September 27-28, 2013

 

Over the course of two workshops, we seek to bring together humanities scholars, information professionals and computer scientists to enhance the transformational potential of linked open data in libraries, archives, museums and other settings by leveraging a broad range of emerging content representation and linking technologies. We believe that accelerating the process of bringing these computational innovations across the "gulf of execution" from laboratory to practice can create important new opportunities for humanities scholarship

I'll be attending the LODLAM summit this June 19th and 20th focusing on using linked open data for archives and museums. New this year is a series of Challenges between the different projects, Muninn won't have an entry since grant deadlines are in the way. 

There will be an early meetup for talks on linking data between Great War Linked Open Data project on the evening of the 18th at the Kam Fung restaurant, more details here.

I'll be attending the #LODLAM meeting in San Francisco this June 2nd and 3rd focusing on using linked open data for archives and museums. The topic is close to some of my own interests, including those of The Muninn Project which has fairly complex modelling requirements.
