Top SchoolAlexander Huber is a digital humanities consultant and co-founder of Huber Digital with 11+ years of experience building open-access scholarly resources and advising academic projects. Rooted in an MA in English and a long-standing focus on 18th-century and Romantic literature, he combines humanistic expertise with deep technical skills in TEI/XML, Semantic Web technologies, linked open data, NLP, IIIF imaging and knowledge modelling. At the Bodleian Libraries he led metadata coordination and championed semantic approaches to support open scholarship, blending library practice with research-driven tool development. He designs and delivers digital editions, visualizations and graph-based infrastructures that make primary sources more discoverable and reusable.
