Doctoral Seminars

1) Digital Humanities & Cultural Heritage Course
 
1st Session: 28 & 29 June 2021: fully booked
2nd Session: 12 & 13 July 2021
 
This doctoral seminar is an introduction to Digital Humanities defined as the application of methods and tools from Information and Communication Technologies to areas of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. Rather than a simple application of computer tools, Digital Humanities offer a multidisciplinary perspective that has recently led to rethinking certain practices, e.g., in the acquisition and representation of knowledge in the field, and opened up new perspectives for the disciplines concerned.
In the framework of this training, the focus will be on the digital representation of cultural objects in the form of Linked and Open Data accessible by means of standards of the Semantic Web.
To validate the acquired knowledge, the seminar includes a full day of hands-on practice on how to query and to structure data in cultural heritage collections.

2nd Session: 15 & 16 July 2021
 
This doctoral seminar is an introduction to Symbolic Artificial Intelligence and more precisely on Knowledge Representation expressed in a human-understandable and machine-actionable formalism. The focus will be on Ontology of Knowledge Engineering; a kind of Knowledge Graph using standards of the Semantic Web. The course will be illustrated with examples taken from Digital Encyclopaedias (DBpedia, the knowledge graph of Wikipedia), Government Data (European portal), Research Data (HAL), Smart City, Cultural Heritage (Europeana, National Library of France).
To validate the acquired knowledge, the seminar will include hands-on practice on building ontologies using dedicated software (CmapTools, Protégé).
