Emblematica Online - Linked Open Emblem Data

• Applicant: Professor Dr. Peter Burschel, since 9/2016
• Term: from 2015 to 2020
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 265430826

The project is being carried out in close collaboration with another project being undertaken by the University of Illinois (Prof. Mara Wade) and funded by the NEH. It aims to strengthen international co-operation in the field of emblem studies, to jointly develop and apply technical models and make use of synergies to establish transnational digital collections and data pools that can be freely used by the international emblem community. The project proposes to develop and integrate concepts and models that can be applied to and employed by other areas within the burgeoning field of Digital Humanities. It is divided into four distinct but interconnected areas of activity. First, the data in the collection itself will be enlarged; secondly, emblem books will be transcribed and made available as full text; thirdly, data and metadata will be modeled and designed in such a way that they can be used in the semantic web; and finally, interfaces and web services will be enhanced or established to facilitate the harvesting and retrieval of emblem data.
