This document describes a Linked Digital Collection project focused on Rainis and Aspazija, two influential Latvian poets. The collection contains their correspondence, literary works, and other materials annotated with links to related entities. Entities mentioned in the annotations are represented as pages in the collection and linked to from the annotated objects. The objects and entities are also expressed as RDF and linked to external data sources, creating a network of interlinked cultural heritage objects and metadata.

Editor's Notes
- #3: Poets, leading Latvian creative personalities un public figures of their time.
- #4: A worthwhile topic for a pilot project a collection where links [between objects] and the diversity of content play an important role > ~500 objects
- #5: Main page about Aspazija
- #6: An example object page (a photo in this case) -> thumbnail, metadata (URI, links to DOM), RDF buttons
- #8: Poets’ correspondence spanned 35 years, covering essential stages of Latvian history and culture development. It has been included in the Latvian national register of the UNESCO “Memory of the World” programme. Meticulously transcribed and annotated
- #12: The rich interlinked structure of the collection. It is links between the objects that make it different and interesting to explore.
- #14: Entities: works (poems, periodicals, …), people, organizations, events, …
- #18: NLL's authority data not sufficient: - lack of Work/Expression authority data - abstract entities/subjects
