• Investigate how genuine research interests of humanists can be operationalized in the particular context of Linked Data and Pundit.
• Interpretative approaches and Linked Data through annotations and visualization

Experiments - Engaging Humanists with Pundit
33
• 15 students (BA) from the Fachhochschule Potsdam (FHP)
• topic: diplomatic correspondence in the forefront of the Crisis of July 1914
• data: pre-selected sample of digitized original correspondences from the Political Archive of the German Foreign Ministry
• task: devise and apply editorial guidelines

Experiments – Editorial and Archival Sciences
44
• 1 trained historian from the Georg-Eckert-Institute (GEI)
• topic: representations of the nation and the globalized world in school books
• data: selected digitized school books from GEI available through DM2E
• task: identify topoi and their connotation in different types of school books

Experiments – Educational History
55
• 15 BA/MA history students from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (UBER)
• topic: learning critical analysis of digitized historical photographs
• data: students search and selected their own photographs from the Web
• task: conduct an analysis of photographs based on a prepared vocabulary

Experiments – Visual History / Didactics of History
66
• Preparatory Phase− sequence of several meetings− conceptual: specifying the topic and approach, devising a
vocabulary for annotation etc.− technical: in cooperation with Net7, e.g. accessibility of sources
(HTML pages or scraper), bug-fixing of Pundit 2, implementing the vocabulary, preparing visualization options
• Working Phase− with two full-day workshops for each use case and work at home
in-between− introducing Linked Data and Pundit, discussions, annotating,
questionnaire etc.• Follow-up Meetings

• Experiments underline the usefulness of the principal approach of Pundit and of Linked Data for humanities.− evidence for applicability in the context of interpretative
approaches in the humanities• Simple Linked Data annotation vocabularies
− proved to be relatively accessible to humanists− results can be obtained with relatively low prerequisites− participants created, understood and applied vocabularies
within a few hours− support different kinds of research interest

Experiments – Some Tentative Results
1010
• The vocabulary as an epistemological tool− Students (are forced to) reflect on their own work
process because of the explicitness of the vocabulary.− Teachers have a pedagogical tool for communicating
theoretical and practical representations of methods.− The vocabulary provides a common basis for
discussion about the method and interpretation process.

Experiments – Some Tentative Results
1111
• Scholarly Activities are determined by the Social Context− authority, trust, legal issues
• Can I annotate this text or image? Who owns the triple? Can I download my annotations?
− provenance and citation of triples and resources• authorship and reputation: Who created the triple? Who
checks the quality of annotations?• selective sharing of “factual” statements vs.
“interpretative” statements (the intellectual work / outcome): Sharing what with whom?
• “composite triples”: Who’s work is it?
