CLLD – Cross-Linguistic Linked Data

Exploring Glottolog with Python

posted Tuesday, February 18, 2014 by Robert Forkel

Sebastian Bank from the University of Leipzig shared an IPython notebook which can serve as a tutorial for Exploring Glottolog with Python.

I think this is a fantastic resource using CLLD data the way it was meant to be used, but also showcasing

• how to efficiently leverage the tools of the Python eco-system for scientific computing,
• how to cope with data expressed in RDF – a data model more expressive but also more complicated than the typical arrangement of data in tables,
• how reproducible research could look like.
