The last SKOS export (ttl) of the thesaurus is here: drive.google.com/file/d/1zIqnkZ…

A static partial dataset of the thesaurus is here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

The Ligatus website is likely to go offline in July for a short period of time while we are working towards transferring it to a new hosting institution. More information on temporary access to the Language of Bindings thesaurus will follow.

A few finely decorated bindings for the festive period. Merry Christmas to all those celebrating🎄 These beautiful bindings are all from the @CBL_Dublin rare book collection, and were just a few of the books we enjoyed looking at with @Ligatus_UAL #Bookbinding #CBLconservation

Some planned maintenance on the Ligatus website today and tomorrow (we were just waiting for the summer school to be over). Apologies for the disruption.

Day 1 (week 2) @Ligatus_UAL complete with a morning spent looking at wax tablets to beautiful Coptic bindings. Afternoon spent developing schemas for structured openly shared data.😮‍💨 #copticbindings #linkeddata #codex

Day 2 (Week 2) @Ligatus_UAL completed and it was a morning learning more about #Byzantine #bookbindings with notes on the #Coptic, #Ethiopic, #Armenian, #Georgian and #IslamicManuscript tradition.📚🤩 Afternoon involved coding the various bookbinding elements in #XML! 👩🏼‍💻😮‍💨

Day 3 (week 2) @Ligatus_UAL complete and it was a tough one…whole day of describing, encoding #xml data and mapping it to #CIDOC_CRM @CRMSIG a conceptual model for cultural heritage objects. 👩🏼‍💻🤯 Key message is libraries (especially!) need to have open licenses for #linkeddata

Another fantastic day at the @Ligatus_UAL Summer School @EdwardWorthLib. Edward Worth would have loved this!

Last day at @Ligatus_UAL and I will miss the best classes, inspiring visits & amazing colleagues I’ve met from across the world. Thanks to Nicholas Pickwoad, Athanasios Velios, Georgios Boudalis & @EdwardWorthLib for hosting us in Dublin 2022 👏🏻📜 📚 #bookhistory #FridayFeeling

What an amazing week spent at the @EdwardWorthLib in Dublin for the @Ligatus_UAL Summer School! Very fascinating to learn about Eastern Mediterranean binding structures from Giorgos Boudalis and also ways of using linked data for better record keeping in bookbinding research.

Exhausting but rewarding Day 1 (Week 1)@Ligatus_UAL complete European Bookbindings c.1450-1830 with the incredible Nicholas Pickwoad using beautiful examples from the @EdwardWorthLib #bookbinding #Ihavenotblinkedyet

@BainbridgeCons @joannehackett11 @john_overholt Not really, but as always happy to accept recommendations.

@joannehackett11 @john_overholt @Ligatus_UAL doesn't go into this category of word does it?

The Ligatus websites are offline for some maintenance today.
