University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

The Digging into the Knowledge Graph projects brings together researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee school of information studies in the U.S. with Canada and the Netherlands. The team will develop and implement standardized vocabularies, workflows and best practices to enhance findability and storage for humanities and social science Linked Open Data datasets. Linked Open Data is a technique for making data available online that enables broad reuse by supporting connections between disparate datasets. The team will pilot the work through case studies in musicology and economics, and enable wider knowledge creation by making the metadata for these Linked Open Data datasets available for data mining. This award supports the U.S. team's participation. International partner organizations are supported through awards made by funders in their respective countries.
