Starting with a one-day workshop, or “unconference,” held at the Institute of Classical Studies, University of London on May 15, 2017, the OEDUc activities (programme and notes here) bring together scholars, historians and data scientists with a shared interest in classical epigraphic data. The event involved no speakers or set programme of presentations, but rather a loose agenda, to be further refined in advance or on the day, which was to use, exploit, transform and “mash-up” with other sources the Open Data recently made available by the Epigraphic Database Heidelberg under a Creative Commons license. Participants with programming and data-processing experience, and those with an interest in discussing and planning data manipulation at a higher level, are equally welcome.
