Smart companies will collaborate with researchers on these issues on our way towards better data. Of course it means finding new business models but that has been on the cards for past few decades. Should not come as a surprise to anyone. Maybe we should engage more with Proquest as well.

The #DH2025 in Lisbon is on. Full room at the FAIR data in the Wikibase Ecosystem -workshop from early in the morning. Let’s have a productive week everyone!

Mikko Tolonen @tolonen.bsky.social · Jul 8

yes, tough times indeed.

Mikko Tolonen @tolonen.bsky.social · Jul 8

also lot of green and the area is beautiful and the weather was extremely pleasant (as always in Scotland imo)

Mikko Tolonen @tolonen.bsky.social · Jul 8

First thought was the book "History Man" (although based elsewhere & I get the same thought in most UK campuses). I was also thinking how will the humanities fare there in the long term.

Mikko Tolonen @tolonen.bsky.social · Jul 8

Being based in Finland sometimes means going to where others are. My grand tour 2025: MECANO in Rome; DARIAH in Göttingen; ECSS in Stirling; cancelled Morrissey gig in Stockholm; CERL in Brussels & InkCode DH2 in San Miniato. To come: DH2025 in Lisbon next week & CASCADE in Helsinki in late August.
