Description

The scientific instruments of the C18th/19th centuries are complex, consequent artefacts, encoding experimental possibilities, older craft knowledge and, frequently, colonial control. Surviving examples are often uniquely well-travelled: globally, locally and within collections. The paper considers the used of Linked Open Data to trace their physical and conceptual itineraries over time.
