Biography

I examine the potential of Linked Open Data to support and diversify scholarship in the Humanities. My publications cover musicological information, library metadata, the narrative in ancient Mesopotamian literary compositions, and the role of gamification and informal online environments in education. I have created 3D digital models of cuneiform tables, carved boab nuts, animal skulls, and the Black Rod of the Australian Senate. I am a member of the Australian Government Linked Data Working Group, a Fellow of the Software Sustainability Institute, UK and a eResearch South Australia (eRSA) HASS DEVL (Humanities Arts and Social Sciences Data Enhanced Virtual Laboratory) Champion.
