Reports, minutes, questions and code-snippets from the Open Epigraphic Data Unconference (OEDUc) meeting and network.

This one-day workshop, or “unconference,” held at the Institute of Classical Studies, University of London on May 15, 2017, brings together scholars, historians and data scientists with a shared interest in classical epigraphic data. The event involves no speakers or set programme of presentations, but rather a loose agenda, to be further refined in advance or on the day, which is to use, exploit, transform and “mash-up” with other sources the Open Data recently made available by the Epigraphic Database Heidelberg under a Creative Commons license. Participants with programming and data-processing experience, and those with an interest in discussing and planning data manipulation at a higher level, are equally welcome.
