The annual Linked Pasts conference, which has
previously been held at KCL, Madrid, Stanford, Mainz and Bordeaux,
brings together scholars, heritage professionals and other practitioners
with an interest in Linked Open Data as applied to the study of the
ancient and historical worlds. Panels and working groups at Linked Pasts
are more goal-oriented than a conventional academic conference, and
activities and agendas are often proposed, developed and revised by all
participants at the event itself.
The sixth installment of Linked Pasts, hosted by the University of
London and British Library in December 2020, will be a fully remote and
online event, with events taking place over two weeks rather than an
intense three days of in-person sessions. Other than welcome, keynotes
and wrap-up at the beginning and end of the conference, most activities
will be asynchronous, with work or discussion taking place in whatever
medium is most appropriate to the activity and community in question.
Participation in the conference is free, but advance registration is required. Call for activities There will be space for suggestion and selection of activities at the
conference, but we also welcome proposals for research activities,
which may include (but are not restricted to): development of standards,
ontologies and research applications; discovery and integration of
datasets; enrichment and annotation of textual collections;
collaboration, pedagogy and community expansion; other relevant
undertakings with a focus on Linked Open Data and the historical world.
To propose a stream or working group for the conference programme,
please fill in the form at (https://forms.gle/7hNm6dS7X36ded3b7)
with a max. 200-word abstract outlining your suggestion, type of
activity and the medium in which it will be run, and some indication of
the likely participants (e.g. names, community or expected stakeholders)
by end of Friday October 2, 2020. Programme Committee
