Upcoming events

  • ISKO UK Meetup - Introducing Jekyll RDF by Natanael Arndt

    • 19 Nov 2024
    • 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM
    • Zoom

    We'll introduce Jekyll RDF, a plugin for the open-source static website generator Jekyll. It allows the use of RDF data, such as SKOS Taxonomies and OWL Ontologies, in the static websites generated with Jekyll. If you are looking for a fast, lightweight and open-source taxonomy publication system, this event may be for you.

    About Speaker:

    Dr Natanael Arndt has been working at the German National Library since March 2024, where he is responsible for setting up the new web archive. Previously, he was at Eccenca GmbH as a Senior Linked Data Expert. He earned his PhD from the University of Leipzig with the doctoral thesis "Distributed Collaboration on Versioned Decentralized RDF Knowledge Bases". He is the author of several open-source tools, including Jekyll RDF.
