Visiting Fellowship 2025/26 (March 2026)

Gustavo Candela is a Lecturer in Computer Science at the University of Alicante, where he received his PhD in Computer Science. Until 2023, he was a member of the IT department at the Biblioteca Virtual Miguel de Cervantes. His main areas of research interest are Information Retrieval, Semantic Web, and Collections as Data. He has worked with and published on the integration and quality of Linked Open Data in libraries, as well as Collections as Data and Jupyter Notebooks using datasets provided by several GLAM institutions. He is involved in the International GLAM Labs Community and has closely collaborated with institutions and initiatives including the National Library of Scotland, Europeana, LIBER, British Library, Columbia University, Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center, and DARIAH-EU.

Statement of interest

I strongly believe that my expertise and experiences in these networks are crucial for the future development of Cultural Heritage Data which is relevant for the Institute of Contemporary History in Ljubljana. I would love the opportunity to discuss how my skills, knowledge and experience can contribute to the work of the Institute in the specific area of Digital Humanities.
