We were delighted to welcome Dr. Monica Berti, of Leipzig University, who joined members of the Kosmos Society for an Open House discussion on the principles and recommendations of the so called “Linked Open Data” (LOD) to share and reuse data across the web. The focus was on the use of LOD in the field of Graeco-Roman antiquity. Examples were taken from the project “Linked Ancient Greek and Latin” (LAGL), which is producing linguistic annotations to extract metadata on Classical literature.
The event took place on November 22, 2024 at 11:00am EST and was recorded. The recording is available on the Kosmos Society YouTube channel and in the frame below.
