A team of postgraduate volunteers from the department of Digital Humanities at KCL has been involved in the development of the SNAP:DRGN project (http://snapdrgn.net/), allowing them to build upon skills acquired during their Masters Degree, including coding tasks with Python, RDF, SPARQL queries and improvements to the final HTML pages, as well as administrative tasks such as communicating and negotiating with potential contributors for the expansion of the dataset. This seminar will analyse the pedagogical value of this initiative for postgraduate students approaching the work world or further academic study.
