The document discusses creating a Jewish Studies knowledge grid by linking digitized Jewish content and establishing connections between related resources. It involves using common data models and controlled vocabularies to provide context and linking names, organizations, locations, and events mentioned in articles and encyclopedias to relevant entries. This would form a network of interlinked Jewish knowledge across multiple platforms and data sources.
