9. The Web as Literature Stefan Gradmann, London, The British Library, Conference Center. 10/06/2013 9 Digitised Manuscripts to Europeana (DM2E): What? Provide substantial amounts of digital content to Europeana with a focus on digitised manuscripts (WP1) Integrate existing technical building blocks – from Europeana development – as well as from generic LoD oriented development – into a generic production chain for migrating data from various sources to the EDM as well – as for the contextualisation of the object representations ( WP2). Explore usage scenarios of EDM metadata together with object data in a specialised RDF graph based platform for humanities research making available specialised visualisation and reasoning environments (WP3).

10. The Web as Literature Stefan Gradmann, London, The British Library, Conference Center. 10/06/2013 10 WP3: Digital Humanities Requirements and Related Engineering - Context Goal: lower the barriers for digital content curation by providing an integrated, flexible, semantic based environment targeted to digital humanities scholars

11. The Web as Literature Stefan Gradmann, London, The British Library, Conference Center. 10/06/2013 11 Expected WP3 Results Prototype platform enabling digital scholarship in combining EDM RDF metadata, digital surrogates and Linked Data... … building on an ontological representation of scholarly work based on a common understanding of its constituents... resulting in a increasingly complex social semantic scholarly graph containing RDF statements such as – Version A – isSuccessorOf – Version B – Statement 1 – contradicts - Statement 2 – Scribe Y – copiedFrom – Scribe Z … and which could feed back richly contextualised EDM to Europeana!
