  • Amin Anjomshoaa participated in a radio interview to discuss his recent project, LinkedPeople.net, which benefits the wealth of open data resources such as Wikipedia and Wikidata to build family trees of fictional characters in movies, TV shows and books. The project allows the general public to browse the family trees and learn about character relationships in books, movies, and TV shows and in a broader perspective, it serves as an interface to the open data world and aims to raise awareness about the importance of open data resources and their potential applications.
