Abstract

On October 12–14, 2022, the conference “Mutual Learning Workshop for Improving Cultural Heritage Bibliographical Data” took place, organised by the Bibliographical Data Working Group (BD WG) of the DARIAH-EU consortium. This group consists of representatives of cultural heritage institutions as well as researchers, who, during this meeting, discussed re-using, enriching and automated generating of bibliographical data in an interdisciplinary perspective. The event was held in in the Upper Conference Hall at Ústav pro českou literaturu Akademie věd České republiky (Institute of Czech Literature of the Czech Academy of Sciences — ICL CAS) in Prague (Na Florenci 1420/3). Thanks to the funding from DARIAH-EU, the stay and participation of many speakers from abroad was possible, which made the conference truly international and interdisciplinary. There were 24 participants from 11 countries (Belgium, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, the Netherland, Poland, Spain, Switzerland) who gave 20 speeches in total. The conference was held in an in-person format but was also accessible online via Zoom (with some participants delivering remote speeches).
