The project is co-directed by Daniel Pett (Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK) and Elton Barker (Open University, UK). The project uses technology to link data about classics, archaeology, epigraphy, and museology.

Linking Islands of Data will create a research network based around centers of excellence that study the Classical World on both sides of the Atlantic and build upon the legacy of the National Endowment for Humanities funded Linked Ancient World Data Institute. The project at Brown has, at its heart, Elli Mylonas and John Bodel, with their work on Digital Humanities and the US Epigraphy Project. 

One of the workshops in this partnership will take place at Brown in 2019-2020. For more details, go the the Linking Islands of Data website.
