Dear all,

You are invited to join us on Friday 28 November 2014 for the second Open
Humanities Hack event at King’s College, London. This is the second in a
series of events organised jointly by the King’s College London Department
of Digital Humanities, the Digitised Manuscripts to Europeana (DM2E)
project, the Open Knowledge Foundation and the Open Humanities Working
Group.

The event is focused on digital humanists and intended to target
research-driven experimentation with existing humanities data sets. The aim
of the hack day is not to produce complete applications but to experiment
with methods and technologies to investigate these data sets so that at the
end we can have an understanding of the types of novel techniques that are
emerging.

During the day, we will form groups of computing and humanities researchers
that will work together to come up with small-scale prototypes that
showcase new and novel ways of working with humanities data.

Date: Friday 28 November 2014
Time: 9.00 – 21.00
Location: King’s College, Strand, London
Sign up: Attendance is free but places are limited: please fill in the
