The Making Links: Connections, Cultures, Contexts conference (May 5-7, 2023 at the University of Guelph) addressed a wide range of topics relevant to creating and using linked data for research on cultural scholarship and cultural memory in the Canadian context and beyond. It marked the beta launch of the Linked Infrastructure for Networked Cultural Scholarship (LINCS) suite of tools for the creation, exploration, and use of linked open data.
