Dear List Members,

Arianna Betti’s group (Concepts in Motionhttps://conceptsinmotion.org/) in data-driven history of philosophy and philosophical ideas from any period and place is inviting expressions of interest from all colleagues and students curious about new data-driven and computational approaches to philosophical texts. We invite expression of interest in internships, individual modules and possible collaboration. We are based at the department of Philosophy at the University of Amsterdam and at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC), but we also work in a hybrid and online research environment.

On the occasion of the imminent launch of the new data-driven project in British Empiricism funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO), Counting the Bees, we are also launching the https://conceptsinmotion.org/whats-on/axiom-whats-on/data-driven-history-of-ideas-dadrih-seminar-series/ Data-Driven History of Ideas (DaDriH) Seminar Serieshttps://conceptsinmotion.org/whats-on/axiom-whats-on/data-driven-history-of-ideas-dadrih-seminar-series/, a series of online seminars on data formats, tools, and best practices for working with data relevant to the history of philosophy and philosophical ideas. In particular, in this series we will have experts discussing the managing of authority records, identifiers for persons, timelines, and works, as well as infrastructures on which to clean and enrich these data.

The first seminar of the series will be held on Friday October 27th at 14.00 CET:

Speaker: Chiara Latronico Title: Lessons and recommendations in data practices from the Golden Agents project

Chiara Latronico (Nederlands Instituut voor Beeld & Geluid) will highlight her experience in working with bibliographic data in the Golden Agents project. In this seminar, she will discuss with us linked data standards, models, and tools, with special attention to RDF. Bring your questions to the seminar for a live Q&A session.
