SPQR

SQPR (Supporting Productive Queries for Research) will look at the potential of Semantic Web (SW) and Linked Data (LD) approaches have for humanities researchers to formalise resources and the links between them flexibly, and to create, explore and query these linked resources. Closely allied to LD has been work on ontologies for providing agreed meanings for both links and the resources they connect. Thus ontologies can act as the semantic mediator between heterogeneous databases, enabling researchers to explore, understand and extend these datasets more productively and so improve the contributions that the data can make to their research.
