**On Thursday the 23d of May, the [DM2E project](https://dm2e.eu) and the [The National library of the Netherlands](http://kb.nl) will organise the first Pundit workshop focussed on the digital humanities. We invite humanities scholars to join us during this one day event to learn what Pundit is and how it can be used in humanities research.**

[The Pundit tool](http://thepund.it) is being developed by the Italian company [Net7](http://www.netseven.it/) as part of the DM2E project. It enables users to annotate web pages and create structured data. The annotations can be collected in notebooks and shared with others to create collaborative structured knowledge. Annotations span from simple comments to semantic links to the Web of Data (as [Freebase.com](http://freebase.org) and [Dbpedia.org](http://dbpedia.org)), to fine granular cross-references and citations. For more information about the tool you can watch this video:

During this day, we will work with the [rich illuminated medieval manuscript collection](http://manuscripts.kb.nl/introduction) that has been made openly available by the National Library of the Netherlands.

We will start the day with a series of presentation about the tool and the possibilities of it for humanities research. After lunch we will work with Pundit and see how it can help us answering research questions in a collaborative way. This session is being led by one of the lead-developers of Pundit and the Open Knowledge Foundation.
