Description

Data might want to be free, but we want it to be connected, contextualized, linked to other data, and usable. How do we shape it, enhance it, and conceptualize it, so that our data can be enriched by being linked?

Abstract: 

Most digitised and online available objects from GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) can be browsed through a predefined set of formal metadata, such as its creator, year of creation, and type of material. Standards for metadata management and exchange have matured and are being adopted widely.
