ClioWire is the platform developed by the EPFL Digital Humanities master students and the members of the EPFL Digital Humanities Lab (DHLAB)
ClioWire is an hybridation between Twitter and Wikipedia. The ambition of this platform is to curate simple open bricks for historical knowledge, shaped as short texts.
ClioWire is meant to be based on no prefixed ontology, but collectively negotiated conventions and reformatting by bots. This is what works well on Wikipedia and in our Digital Humanities bachelor course.
ClioWire is meant to offer easy onboarding, i.e. the process in which one get accustom to a new system/platform (even for beginners and people with only very basic IT skills). This is what works well on Twitter.
ClioWire should offer simple and robust long-term archiving for bricks of historical knowledge.
