Teaching Linked Open Data using Bibliographic Metadata

This paper describes LD4DH, the Linked Data for Digital Humanities: Publishing, Querying, and Linking on the Semantic Web workshop at the Digital Humanities Oxford Summer School. It includes a description of the general structure of the workshop, how it has changed over the course of the last seven years, between 2015 and 2021, and evaluates the differences between in -person delivery in 2018-2019 and the online mode in 2020- 2021. Discussion is centred on the description of the data as well as the illustration of the processes, methods, and software used throughout the workshop. The paper concludes with a summary of participant evaluation, and reflects on the opportunities and challenges of teaching Linked Open Data to a mixed cohort of predominantly Humanities researchers and professionals from the cultural heritage sector.
