Corpus Mute Launch

— A project to catalogue and activate the Mute magazine archive

More info and repo: https://codeberg.org/Mute/Corpus-Mute/src/branch/main/README.md 

Corpus Mute is a cataloguing project for making the Mute magazine archive using modern open scholarship workflows. The goals are to catalogue, explore, connect, and distribute Mute's writing and projects. The workflows use software tooling from the following areas — linked open data (Wikidata), knowledge graphs, open science infrastructures, and digital sovereignty. The results of the Corpus Mute endeavour will be accessible from well-established open scholarship platforms, including — OpenAlex, Wikidata, Zenodo, Archive.org, Library Genesis and many more.

The project aims to profile and give recognition to all who helped create Mute and generously gave their ideas, energy, and hard work: The editors and staff; contributors; those in our network — individuals, projects, and organisations; and to our supporters and funders.

Mute is actively looking for supporters and partners. Please reach out if you're interested in a conversation about the archiving project.

Coordinator: Simon Worthington, co-founder Mute simon@metamute.org
