Dr. Toby Burrows of University of Oxford releasing the MMM portal.

This massive system contains data about some 420 000 manuscript works and 670 000 events related to them in a knowledge graph of over 20 million triples. The portal and its Linked Open Data service was created by SeCo using the Sampo model in collaboration with academics at the University of Oxford, University of Pennsylvania, and Institut de recherche et d’histoire des textes (IRHT) in Paris, based on their manuscript collection databases.

Our project is part of the Trans-Atlantic Digging into Data programme 2017-2020, funded by Academy of Finland in Finland.
