Enabling humanities research in the Linked Open Web – DM2E final event

Since the project start in February 2012, the partners in the DM2E project have been working on building the tools and communities to enable humanities researchers to work with manuscripts in the Linked Open Web. Before the project closes, in February 2015, we organise a final event to show and demonstrate the progress that has been achieved as well as to inspire future research in the area of Linked Open Data.

The day will include a keynote talk by Sally Chambers (DARIAH-EU / Göttingen Centre for Digital Humanities) on future sustainable digital services for humanities research communities in Europe, presentations and demonstrations of the final DM2E results from all work packages as well as talks by the winners of the second round of the Open Humanities Awards on the results of their projects.

Attendance is free but places are limited: join us to find out more about the DM2E final results!
