From Description to Data: The Digital Scriptorium Catalog and the Role of Smart Data in Manuscript Studies

Join us for a talk by L.P. Coladangelo (Kent State and Digital Scriptorium), exploring the opportunities and challenges posed by linked data and premodern manuscript collections. Drawing upon the work of Digital Scriptorium, which builds upon the WikiProject Manuscripts Data Model, Coladangelo will discuss the importance of linked data models and domain-informed ontology design in order to expand access to manuscripts across institutions and platforms. Registration required for Zoom only. This event is sponsored by the CNY Humanities Corridor and the Rossell Hope Robbins Library.
