Linked Data Technologies for Cultural Heritage and Digital Humanities: Introducing the Semantic Web in Video Lectures

A paradigm shift is taking place in publishing and using Cutural Heritage (CH) content on the Web: in addition to publishing materials for the humans to read as usual, also the underlying data is published as Linked Open Data (LOD) using the FAIR principles. This facilitates

publishing ever larger aggregated datasets,

• enriching the Big Data with other publishers' data and by reasoning,
• development of more intelligent interfaces and applications for the end users, and
• using the data in Digital Humanities (DH) research for data analyses.

As a result, CH and DH have grown into and important application field of Semantic Web (SW) technologies.

Instead of a textual tutorial, this site provides an introduction based on videos, which hopefully lowers the barrier of getting grips with the opportunities and practical technical ideas underlying the paradigm change. The learning materials published in this online course are targeted to researches, collection managers and curators in memory organizations, students, and application developers interested in the opprotunities and challenges related to creating, aggregating, publishing, and using CH LOD on the SW.
