The document discusses how cultural heritage institutions like libraries, archives, and museums are making their data openly accessible on the web through linked open data. It introduces some of the key concepts behind linked open data including using triples with subjects, predicates, and objects to describe entities in a machine-readable way. The document also discusses some of the legal tools like Creative Commons licenses that are being used to share content openly and enable better collaboration between these cultural institutions.
