iSchool Special Lecture: Terhi Nurmikko-Fuller
Terhi Nurmikko-Fuller, associate professor at the Australian National University, will present "The Catalogue: A Knowledge Graph-driven Solution to Accessing Indigenous Data at the Australian National University."
Abstract: For the last two years, an interdisciplinary research team at the Australian National University (ANU) has been developing a solution for the challenge of identifying all content relating to Indigenous research in the institution’s myriad disparate databases, collections, libraries, and other knowledge repositories. To support discoverability and access our team further wanted to merge those collections so that they could be simultaneously queried through a single access point. The original research question driving this project was relatively straightforward - the answer, however, turned out to consist of answering two somewhat different questions, namely: i) How do we find all the things related to Indigeneity held at the ANU; and, ii) How do we query across all the different relevant data repositories at the ANU from a single point of entry? The FAIR and CARE data principles offer some guidance.
Associate Professor Terhi Nurmikko-Fuller is based at the Australian National University. Her interdisciplinary research looks at how digital technologies can enrich and diversify research in Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences, particularly in relation to public culture and the cultural heritage sector. She is the author of “Linked Data for Digital Humanities” (2023, Routledge), and has publications that cover a range of other topics from the role of gamification and informal online environments in education to 3D digital models.
