Free workshop: Linked Open Data Workshop: from Books to HoloLens

This workshop, an introduction to Linked Open Data, will have two presenters:

1 Enriching Historical Narratives with Structured Data 2-4PM

Historians create linked open data all the time, they just don’t know it. Much of their research is focused on documenting the relationships between people, places, events, and sources. But these rich data structures are squeezed out of publications. The LODBooks project is an attempt to put the data back into historical narratives.

Presented by Associate Professor Tim Sherratt, University of Canberra.

2 Linked Open Data on the HoloLens 4-5PM

Bring your own geolocational data or use the data provided to see how geodata can be used in the Microsoft HoloLens.

Presented by PhD candidate, Mafkereseb Bekele, Curtin University.

Complimentary tea and coffee will be provided during the workshop, thanks to the generous support of Curtin University Library. Associate Professor Tim Sherratt is here thanks to the generous support of a Pelagios working group grant that is funding the 27 July Symposium “Landscape Data Art & Models as Linked Open Data” in the HIVE.

  1. I’ve started working on cultural heritage data emanates from erstwhile colonial sites of West Bengal dotted along the river hooghly. For my work I really need some initiation in linked open data methodology in order to categorize & represent those data. Needless it’s to mention I could really use this workshop experience. But not possible for me to go there to avail the workshop facility. Therefore, if possible, could you please provide me some video/audio recordings, if there would be any, of the event ?

  2. I will ask. We have had trouble with sound quality before but I will try. If they agree to recording it, I will leave a link here in about a week, now on personal leave.
