Linked Data for Digital Humanities. Terhi Nurmikko-Fuller

In the contemporary era, the phenomenon of digital transformation is redefining the global landscape, dramatically altering the modalities through which information is accessed. While users benefit from the advancements in digital convenience, there persists a significant lack of awareness concerning the data structures that shape the accessibility and nature of information. Fundamental innovations such as graph technologies and the semantic web, though critical, are frequently overshadowed by more conspicuous online technologies such as social media and algorithmic processes. Consequently, these foundational elements have yet to fully permeate public discourse or establish themselves as interdisciplinary paradigms within the humanities and social sciences. Against this context, Linked Data for Digital Humanities provides a comprehensive guide, ushering readers through a process of critical evaluation and practical implementation of one of the most transformative information publication paradigms globally: Linked Data. This publication not only exposes the covert influences of data structures on human cognition but also introduces a pioneering solution for research in Digital Humanities.
