Linked Data for Digital Humanities provides insights into how digital technologies can enrich and diversify humanities scholarship and make it pioneering in the digital age. Written in non-specialist language, the book illustrates how information is captured, published, represented, accessed, and interpreted using computational systems and, in doing so, shows how technologies actively shape the way we understand what we encounter. Focusing as it does on underlying Web architecture and projects accessible online, the book has an inherently international focus. The interdisciplinary case study examples include bibliographic data from works published in England between 1470 and 1700; literature from ancient Iraq; jazz performances, predominantly from the USA in the 1930s; and even reach as far as an alien, fictional future. Whilst these case study examples span vast spatio-temporal distances, they all share a common thread in the use of the Linked Data information publication paradigm. Using existing computer science methods, as well as processes such as ontology development and database design, the book also includes reflections on practical considerations and offers advice about how to take institutional policies, socio-cultural sensitivities, and economic models into consideration when implementing Linked Data projects. Linked Data for Digital Humanities discusses technological issues in the context of Humanities scholarship, bridging disciplines and enabling informed conversations across disciplinary boundaries. It will be of interest to humanities scholars, computer and data scientists, and library and information scientists.

The Kreuzberg File is a cross between a thriller and a mystery. The action takes place in the recent past. The central character is the private investigator Bill McDonald, who works for a law firm in New York. Because of his knowledge of German, he is sent to Berlin when an important file, seemingly the property of his firm’s major client, is missing. The reader follows Bill’s perilous search for the missing file, which begins in Berlin and leads him to Frankfurt, Düsseldorf and Hamburg. Deadly violence becomes a regular part of his pursuit because a criminal organization is also looking for the data of innovative medical research contained in the file. What seems initially to be a straightforward job turns into a frustrating task because Bill finds out that he was never given the complete information about his case. There are moments when it is not even sure whether the file actually exists. Bill’s situation becomes very more tenuous when he realizes that he cannot fully trust his own employer. Against all odds, he succeeds to recover the file and can return it to its rightful owner, a small start-up in Berlin that did the original research.
