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 submission is extended to 30 September.

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 Linked Pasts Japan 1 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 will be an in-person event without online attendance, but the agenda and output of each activity will be published as an online Google document.
