20130805 Activating Linked Open Data in Libraries Archives and Museums

This document summarizes the LODLAM 2013 conference. It discusses how linked open data can activate libraries, archives, and museums by (1) bringing library data outside library walls and linking to external web data, (2) helping different actors create and aggregate data about the same objects, and (3) adding value to metadata by linking to external knowledge bases. The conference had over 100 participants from 16 countries and included sessions on topics like curation, vocabularies, tools, and case studies. Several projects and tools were presented, including LODLAM patterns, Karma, and Pundit. The document argues that linking library metadata to the web of data presents opportunities but also challenges of metadata interoperability and vocabulary

- 3. 3 1. Preface Gallery, library, archive, and museum (i.e. GLAM or LAM) have the privilege in their “tradition” for constructing structured data (metadata). Linked Open Data (LOD) provides a web environment for LAM to curate & integrate internal & external resources. Different kinds of data about the same object thus can be created by distributed actors/agents, and then be aggregated into a single LOD graph. In short, LAM is benefited from adding value to their metadata by linking to the LOD with previously unknown & unexplored resources (e.g. other library sources, non- library sources, and multiple domain knowledge bases, etc. )

- 11. 11 Rather going to the Vocabulary War in the LAM community that I am not familiar with …. seeking available tool development may work more positive results. Happy to hear that Getty is going to progress themselves in LOD. (anticipated that the data will be published under the ODC_BY 1.0 license; begin with AAT and then to TGN, ULAN, and finally CONA, from late 2013 through 2015.)

- 17. 17 “The universe of methods for representing cultural heritage resources is growing rapidly, despite the multiple standards that already exist across the library, archive, and museum domain. These various standards may address common problems, but there is little explicit coordination among the solutions. As Linked Data Principles increasingly allow us to “mix and match” vocabularies, we need a new way to understand the available techniques that solve specific representation problems.” Richard J.

- 29. 29 6. Proposition (1) Potential / LOD + LAM : Web is the biggest library for all human. DBpedia and Freebase have been played an important role as the Web Library resources. Libraries have long preserved/curated massive & quality datasets. The hidden treasure of the library data not only provides opportunities but also offers a backbone of trust for the Semantic Web.

- 31. 31 (3) Semantic Annotation & Metadata Releasing: Semantic annotations have stirred up what LAM’s structured data toward more semantics, and get better at them by releasing & linking to LOD. Human/Semi-automatic/Automatic Tools in three major Semantic Web conferences. Releasing more: reach more, reuse more, and remix more.
