PUBLIC TALK: Serendipity in the Digital Humanities

This public lecture by Toby Burrows, the European Union Marie Curie Fellow in the Department of Digital Humanities at King's College London, will look at serendipity in the context of humanities research processes generally.

Why are classification and categorization so important? What do we mean by "data" in the humanities? What are the implications of new techniques for organizing knowledge for humanities research - including ontologies, social tagging and graph databases?
