In the meantime, here are a few things to look forward to, to keep you going!
Celebration of Sustainable Digital Scholarship @ Oxford

Starting with refreshments at 15:30, this special anniversary event at St Luke's Chapel (Radcliffe Observatory Quarter) will be a fantastic opportunity to discover more about the Sustainable Digital Scholarship (SDS) service and Digital Scholarship @ Oxford, and will also provide a valuable opportunity to hear from and network with academic colleagues working in this area.

Is TEI your cup of tea? Or even something stronger? Join us at our TEI community building event at an as yet unspecified tavern (we can confirm it will be in central Oxford), where we will congregate informally to discuss what the TEI landscape of Oxford looks like, and how we can map and develop its community better.

Linked Art in practice using Jupyter Code Notebooks - Connecting cultural heritage collections data
13:00-14:00 3 May 2022
In this webinar, Research Software Engineer Tanya Gray will guide attendees through a practical exploration of transforming, reconciling, and visualising Linked Art, using real-world data from museums and galleries worldwide. These will be demonstrated using ‘code notebooks’ developed during the Linked Art II project and implemented in Jupyter. The notebooks provide step-by-step illustration and explanation, and can provide a foundation for further customisation.

Introduced by the directors of MFO and DiSc (Professors Pascal Marty and Howard Hotson), this seminar will draw together speakers from Bibliothèque Nationale de France, British Library, Huma-Num, and the Alan Turing Institute. Gathering in the seminar room at MFO, participants and attendees will have an opportunity to hear four papers on these topics, take part in formal and informal discussion and exchange, and enjoy a little cheese, wine (or alcohol-free alternative), and conversation.
Confirmed speakers: Nicolas Larrousse, Huma-Num CNRS; Emmanuelle Bermès & Marie Carlin (BNF, Paris); Dave De Roure (Engineering Science Department and Alan Turing Institute.); Barbara McGillivray (Alan Turing institute)
