- ISWC14 paper: a hybrid semantic publishing architecture combining XML and RDF
I’m posting here a short summary of the paper I’ve given at the last International Semantic Web conference in Riva del Garda (ISWC14) together with my colleague Tony Hammond.

This is arguably the most important event for researchers and academics who employ digital methods to tackle questions and problems normally associated to ‘humanities’ disciplines. In this blog post I will start by summarising the things I was invited to talk about; […]

Hope you’ll find something of interest! Pythonic stuff: Epidoc Epydoc is a handy tool for generating API documentation for Python modules, based […]
