Abstract
This open and free webinar presents results of joint research at Aalto University and University of Helsinki (HELDIG), Semantic Computing Research Group (SeCo), on building an open national Semantic Web infrastructure with applications for Digital Humanities. In particular, the Sampo model and series of Sampo portals have been created that have had millions of users on the Web. The seminar presents key elements of the infrastructure and tools, and ten latest Sampo portals, five of which are already online, and five under development in ongoing research projects

To get a glimpse on what "Sampos" and the underlying data infrastructure are in practice, have a look at the short videos below:

  1. From Reassembling the Republic of Letters 1500-1800 to LetterSampo
  2. BiographySampo - Artificial Intelligence Reading Biographies for the Semantic Web
  3. AcademySampo – Finnish Academic People 1640-1899
  4. WarSampo – Finnish World War II on the Semantic Web
  5. Building a National Level Linked Open Data Infrastructure for Digital Humanities in Finland

This webinar continues SeCo group's tradition since the symposium "Semantic Web Kick-off in Finland 2001" in organizing open seminars, related to the Semantic Web and Linked Open Data.
