Announcement by the University of Brussels
The workshop introduces participants to the use of Semantic Web technologies and Linked Open Data in Digital Historical Studies with a special emphasis on Wikidata and Wikibase.

The focus lies on practical knowledge on data modeling and data retrieving for the humanities, topics highly relevant for collaborative processes of (digital) scholarship. Basic knowledge of the query language SPARQL will be taught so that participants will be able to perform queries in Wikidata.

 

Topics: Managing Research Data, Methods of Text Analysis, Digital Literary and Cultural Studies, Computational Literary Studies

Keywords: Linked Open Data
