A two-year series of summer seminars, hosted by New York University and Drew University, for humanities scholars, library and museum professionals, and advanced graduate students on the possibilities of the Linked Open Data model for use in humanities scholarship with a particular focus on Ancient Mediterranean and Near East studies.

We propose two three-day sessions of an Institute designed to train scholars on the use of Linked Data in online publication for ancient studies. Participants will work with a cadre of experienced scholars and technologists who will guide them through a hands-on overview of current best practice, equipping them to make their own intellectual content discoverable and re-usable in a highly networked world.
