OAI – PMH: UK databases

Linked data Who might our audience be? Low uptake by consumers Big impact for web resources Are we reinventing the wheel?

Barriers for implementation -producers Knowledge Projects to emulate Staff resource Time Funding Too many ontologies to choose from…. Lack of management buy-in and vision

Am I doing this right? Doubts: Am I doing it right?

What I had hoped to show you: Finished website Attestations to Pleiades Partial linking to Nomisma RDFa through out all pages Content negotiation

Someone arrived 6 weeks early

Read Beck’s post here: http://bit.ly/KPTTXf

Geonames/ Geoplanet Interoperability/ enrichmentdbpedia PAS AmazonPleiades Flickr Nomisma

What aspects can I link to? People Places – eg Pleiades places Time Events Citations/ references Museum objects eg all BM/ANS denarii Books

Enriched by Amazon via ISBN I use the affiliate programme in the vain hope of us making some cash! I could of course link to open bibliographic projects.
