The Linked Editing Academic Framework (LEAF) is a virtual research environment that offers unique opportunities for researchers to incorporate Linked Open Data (LOD)into their scholarly workflows with minimal technical knowledge. LEAF features an enhanced and expanded collaborative editorial platform that supports a variety of digital scholarly projects, enabling scholars to create, publish, and preserve digital editions, born-digital scholarship, digital collections, and virtual exhibits of texts, images, audio files, and videos.
