Pending on final approval by the Ministery of Education and Research (BMBF),

documentation and linked data methods.

Köln, the Institut für Deutsche Sprache (Mannheim) and the Endangered
Languages Documentation Programme (ELDP, London), the applicant will develop
ways to make annotated language data, typically of small languages, accessible
to potential users. This includes linking to cultural collections based on the
CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model, and the creation of suitable access portals
for the documented language communities. 

The applicant will also develop ways to enrich linguistic annotations with
information concerning place, time, and participants. We are looking for a
person with experience in language archiving and linked data methods. A
working knowledge of German is a plus. 

Please apply until May 12, 2019, with one single pdf file, subject “QUEST

the project and your expertise that you would contribute
