Cultural heritage institutions link their datasets
to others (e.g., DBpedia, VIAF, GeoNames) to
enhance discovery and reuse of their collections.
Projects: Hungarian National Library;
Civil War 150; Linking Lives;
Bibliothèque national de France
Documenting Processes for
Reuse
Explain linked open data and ways
that cultural heritage professionals
can use datasets.
Projects: New York Times;
Deutsche National Bibliothek
Developing User Interfaces
Institutional or collaborative projects use
the datasets to develop applications , including
interfaces, visualizations, and augmented reality.
Projects: Agora; Pan-Canadian Documentary Heritage
Network; Amsterdam Mobile City App; Linked Jazz
Promoting Reuse
Institutions go beyond the creation
of their own test projects, encouraging
users to develop innovative applications.
Projects: Open Cultuur Data, EUScreen
Expanding the Definition
of Cultural Heritage
Efforts from outside the cultural
heritage framework, such as
government agencies and
international aid organizations,
can serve to strengthen societies
and their cultural institutions.
