Curating/Fermenting Data: data workflows for semantic web applications: Curating/Fermenting Data

Published: 08 October 2022 Publication History

Abstract

This one-day workshop will bring together HCI researchers, Linked Open Data (LOD) experts, curators, designers and cultural practitioners to explore applications of LOD for the creation of participatory datasets. The aim of the workshop is to work with a collection of small unstructured data while engaging with questions of ethical data use in HCI design and working with data against a “colonial impulse” [22]. Starting from the Curating Data diagram (Appendix 1) and working with data gathered during a series of workshops in the project Fermenting Data [48], we will create speculative ontologies for the Fermenting Data dataset. The practice component of the workshop will interrogate the design of data curation workflows for semantic web applications, while working with actual ferments in order to physically engage with the process at the source of this dataset.
