Description
Org. and moderator: Andrew Meadows
This round table will offer a brief survey of the ways in which new technologies have transformed the way in which we approach the discipline of numismatics and will seek to engage the audience in discussion of the potential to ask new questions of our evidence and organise it in new ways.
One axis of discussion will be provided by the different types of technological advance we have seen in the last few years:
-Metadata: Knowledge Organisation Systems, International Authority Files, Linked Open Data
-Artificial Intelligence: Natural Language Processing
What can these approaches offer us severally, or in concert?
A second axis will approach the question from ways in which we work with numismatic material:
-Collection Management and Cataloguing
-Knowledge Organisation: Corpora and Iconography
-Archaeological contexts: Finds and Hoards
It is hoped that the session will also serve as the introduction to a number of more specialised paper sessions to follow in the Congress Programme.
Broader Aims
This roundtable is intended to form a sequel to previous, similar sessions held at the Congresses in Madrid, Glasgow and Messina. We intend it to serve as an ‘introduction’ to a series of paper sessions that are being proposed by various members of the Nomisma community.
