Linked Pasts 10 and Linked Pasts Japan 1 will be held in person at the National Institute of Informatics in Tokyo, Japan from 9 to 12 December 2024.
The deadline for registration is 30 November.
The Linked Pasts Symposium brings together scholars, heritage professionals and other practitioners with an interest in Linked Open Data as applied to the study of the ancient and historical world. All the activities taking place in the Linked Pasts are goal-oriented discussions and collaborations, instead of research presentations as is usual in a conventional academic conference.
The 10th Linked Pasts annual symposium will be hosted by the ROIS-DS Center for Open Data in the Humanities from 9 to 12 December 2024 at the National Institute of Informatics, Tokyo.
This is the joint symposium with the First Linked Pasts Japan symposium to promote communication with the Linked Pasts Japan community. Because this is the first Linked Pasts symposium in East Asia, we also welcome partners from East Asia to make this symposium a place for global communication.
The symposium is an in-person event, but it also offers hybrid sessions to allow online attendance. The agenda and output of each activity will be published as an online Google document.
Registration
Participation in the conference is free, but advanced registration is required.
The deadline for registration is 30 November 2024.

- The time zone is JST (UTC+9).
