Using LIDO as an Interoperability Tool for the Finnish Museums Sector: A Hands-on Approach to Aggregating Content from the Museum Collection Management Systems to the National Digital Library of Finland
The Finnish National Digital Library (NDL) project combines the digital resources of Finnish libraries, archives and museums to one comprehensive information retrieval (IR) portal called the Public Interface. The NDL Public Interface also contains necessary interfaces for linking the correct web-services to corresponding digital resources, such as image requests etc.
Sharing cultural heritage the linked open data way - everyone's invited
As galleries, libraries, archives and museums (GLAMS) are redefining their role as nodes in a wider network of content creators and providers, open innovation becomes key. GLAMS across the world are beginning to explore the added value of sharing data resources following the so-called linked open data (LOD) principles.

Authority Records, Future Computers and Other Unfinished Histories
Aaron Straup Cope, Stamen Design, USA
Abstract
What becomes the role for institutions and scholars charged with the study and safe-keeping of the past and the near-future when traditional methodologies like "authority records" are forced to compete with automated data collection, machine learning, the now-suddenly-practical reality of "big data" and the rise of broad communities of participation?
The breadth and reach of the Internet and the availability of alternative data sources, whether they are harvested programmatically or fashioned by amateur communities of interest, has created a world where both the conceptual and financial economics of traditional scholarship are rapidly being undermined. Further, in the absence of a way for non-experts to feel as though they can participate in the discourse outside of established venues and vocabularies, the opinions and assumed meritocracies of experts are increasingly being overlooked entirely.
What would it mean to change the role of digital preservation and scholarly interpretation from one where it looks and feels, to those the outside, like castle walls to be more like a rough guide composed of road signs and fence-posts? To consider a project whose goal is no longer to weave elaborate tapestries of the past facts but to produce textiles, and patterns, to be fashioned into reflections of the present?

Building Linked Data For Cultural Information Resources In Japan

Abstract
Museum information in Japan is maintained distributedly and nonuniformly. This leads to difficulty in crossover searching for museum information. The LODAC (Linked Open Data for ACademia) project is building a prototype system (LODAC-Museum) to aggregate information across multiple sources. We identify and associate artists and works from different museum collections to provide integrated views for them. The key technology is Linked Data. All the aggregated data is transformed to the standard metadata schema and linked to each other via generated ID resources.
