The Linked Editing Academic Framework (LEAF) is a virtual research environment that offers unique opportunities for researchers to incorporate Linked Open Data (LOD)a generation into their scholarly workflows based on a general understanding and limited 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.
