This paper will present some of the outcomes of the Tools of Knowledge project, funded by the UK Arts & Humanities Research Council.

Abstract
Identifying community requirements for Linked Humanities Data infrastructures
It is likely that the application of LOD approaches to the Humanities will result in large, rich, heterogeneous datasets with huge research potential, but in turn raise a considerable challenge: how can these datasets be managed and published in forms that are flexible, scalable, interoperable and, critically, usable and sustainable?...Middle, Sarah ; Hay, Duncan ; Butterworth, Alex

Infrastructures for Managing and Publishing Large, Heterogeneous Linked Datasets
A Linked Data approach in Humanities research is likely to produce large, rich, heterogeneous datasets with huge research potential, but how can these datasets be managed and published in a form that is flexible, scalable, interoperable and, ultimately, sustainable? Several infrastructures exist that aim to address this issue, but come...Middle, Sarah ; Hay, Duncan ; Butterworth, Alex

Don’t believe the hype: scientific instruments and inflated expectations, 1550-1914
The Tools of Knowledge project is remodelling the legacy Scientific Instrument Makers, Observations and Notes (SIMON) database, and significantly enhancing the information it contains about the scientific instrument trade between 1550-1914. One key aim is to reconnect the persons involved in the craft and trade with the instruments that they...Middle, Sarah ; Butterworth, Alex ; Hay, Duncan ; Higgitt, Rebekah
