TIB – Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology, Deutschland
This workshop will present a workflow for structuring and annotating multimedia datasets within a collaborative, linked open data environment that accurately preserves data provenance. Participants will take part in practical demonstrations of the Semantic Kompakkt toolchain that connects three existing open source software tools: 1) OpenRefine – for data reconciliation and batch upload; 2) Wikibase – for linked open data storage; and 3) Kompakkt – for rendering and annotating 3D models, and other 2D and AV media files. This toolchain was developed in the context of NFDI4Culture with a particular focus on increasing interoperability and data reuse across different domains of cultural research. Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops to the workshop in order to be able to take part in the hands-on exercises.
