Citizen Science: Kilkenny Heritage sites & Linked Open Data
A Heritage Week Talk
Anne-Karoline Distel has mapped heritage sites in Co Kilkenny and beyond. She is an advocate of Open Data for mapping heritage sites and community landmarks and services.
In this talk she reflects on the experience of visiting and recording ogham stones and holy wells in County Kilkenny using Open Data and open source platforms. The methodology can be applied to other monument types and geographic areas. While this might sound technical, it starts with simple things like taking pictures with your phone which almost everyone can do. Why not turn your heritage site visit and local knowledge into useful data which can be harnessed by heritage societies and scholars alike?
All are welcome to this free event.
