Golden Agents:
Creative industries
and the making of
the Dutch Golden Age

The Golden Agents project, funded by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO), aims to build a large digital humanities research infrastructure to enable analyses of interactions between producers and consumers of the different forms of art of the Dutch Golden Age. The project will link existing and new datasets of the Dutch Golden Age by combining semantic web with multi-agent technologies. This way researchers will be able to connect images, objects and texts from different sources in a new and meaningful ways.
