We are delighted to welcome Dr. Monica Berti, of Leipzig University, to
join 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 will be on the use of LOD in
the field of Graeco-Roman antiquity. Examples will be taken from the
project “Linked Ancient Greek and Latin” (LAGL), which is producing
linguistic annotations to extract metadata on Classical literature.
