Linked Open Data in Dialogue (2023)

Join us for our event "Linked Open Data in dialogue" on Wednesday 15 November 2023 at the main building of the University of Bern. 
Room: 501/Kuppelraum, Hochschulstrasse 4, 3012 Bern. 

This continuation of the event series “...im Dialog” (jointly organized by Digital Humanities and the University Library of the University of Bern) will also be part of the LOD4HSS project, developing and enriching the Geovistory platform.  

Geovistory (www.geovistory.org/) is a virtual research environment for the Humanities and Social Sciences and explicitly tailored towards the need of highly interlinked research projects. 

The program will include an introductory talk on Linked Open Data, a hands-on Wikidata workshop, and an introductory or alternatively an advanced workshop on Geovistory. Various projects around Linked Open Data and Geovistory will present their experiences with the platform and Linked Open Data in general. 

The morning session will start on 9 a.m. and we will end around 5 p.m. with an apéro. Participation is possible on-site (in Bern) or via livestream (ZOOM). This event will be in English.
