Why it matters

Linked Jazz is an innovative research project that analyzes digitized oral history transcript collections of twentieth-century jazz musicians to map and visualize their social networks.

It serves as a powerful model for using natural language processing (NLP) and linked open data (LOD) to construct social graphs from unstructured narrative sources, offering rich insights into community dynamics and cultural exchange.
