Small update from the #DiGA project: The #RuhrUniBochum university library, who kindly hosts our #SKOSMOS instance, took some time to develop a small extension for us. Now the DiGA #Thesaurus of #BuddhistArt displays illustrations of the concepts (where available). This is a big step forward, as having images makes understanding the visual concepts much easier! See e.g. https://w3id.org/diga/terms/1229329640 #DigitalArtHistory #CulturalHeritage #DigitalHumanities

We published a dataset paper about the #DiGA #Thesaurus for #BuddhistArt: Autiero, S., Elwert, F., Moscatelli, C., & Pons, J. (2023). The Seven Steps: Building the DiGA Thesaurus. Journal of Open Humanities Data, 9: 11, pp. 1โ14. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/johd.111
It's great to see it out there, and we hope it encourages constructive criticism, re-use and possibly future collaborations. #Gandhara #ArtHistory #Buddhism #DigitalHumanities #LinkedOpenData #SKOS

Hey Fediverse, hereโs my #introduction. My name is Frederik Elwert, in my day job Iโm a professor of #DigitalHumanities and #ReligiousStudies at #RuhrUniBochum. Iโm interested in #TextAsData ๐, #NetworkAnalysis ๐ธ๏ธ, #CulturalHeritage ๐ฟ and #LinkedOpenData ๐, but mainly in finding ways how digital methods can be meaningful for the study of religion. Since my work is collaborative, I get to work on areas from #BuddhistArt ๐ชท to #SocialMedia ๐ป.
