Summary
[edit]| Description |
The Wicked Findings of the Witchfinder General: Using linked open data to put accused witches on the map. Seminar event hosted by the Edinburgh Centre for Data, Culture and Society on 11 September 2019.
Over the course of the summer, during a three-month placement (June to September 2019), The Survey of Scottish Witchcraft database has been creatively visualised with the use of Wikipedia's sister project, Wikidata. The Survey database contains a wealth of information about all of the recorded accused Scottish witches dating from 1563-1736. The Equate Scotland ‘Data and Visualisation’ Intern (or ‘Witchfinder General’), Emma Carroll, and ‘Wikimedian-in-Residence’, Ewan McAndrew, have reused this open licensed content in order to transform this static database into an interactive map. This presentation will provide an example of real-world application of teaching and learning, and will detail how Emma was employed to work with Wikipedia’s sister project, Wikidata. The internship's aims have built on the successful project work of student volunteers from the Data Science for Design MSc, who added information to the Linked Data Cloud as 5-star linked open data. |
