Organised by Frank Fischer and Viktor J. Illmer, Research Area 5: "Building Digital Communities".

An increasing number of institutions, including archives, libraries, universities, are enhancing their datasets with metadata and publishing them as linked open data (LOD) on the semantic web. This trend also benefits the (digital) humanities, including literary studies, facilitating a transition towards more metadata-driven approaches in the field. LOD, in particular, offers numerous opportunities for exploring the global dimensions of literature.

The international conference "Linked Open Data and Literary Studies" aims to provide a platform for scholars, researchers, librarians, and practitioners to share insights, methodologies, and best practices for leveraging LOD technologies in literary studies.
