Research Topic
The Seshat Global Databank (http://seshatdatabank.info/) is collecting data on every human society throughout history and prehistory to better understand the dynamics of human social evolution. The ADAPT Centre has partnered with Seshat to provide the sophisticated Linked Data –based data curation infrastructure for semi-supervised data collection, refinement and publication. But we want to do more. There is increasing amounts of data published on the web that could be integrated into Seshat, especially structured data such as historical GIS. However there are a wide variety of information sources and standards, increasing data  integration costs. This PhD will develop new methods and tools to make data integration more flexible and self-managing within the Seshat project. This post is part of the new ADAPT Centre and will work closely with the ADAPT and Seshat affiliated H2020 project ALIGNED (www.aligned-project.eu).
