The Digital Heritage Network in the Netherlands is working on a Linked Data based approach for improving the visibility of Digital Heritage information.
Digital libraries store collections of digital objects like text, images, audio, and video that can be accessed remotely via computer networks. They organize and provide search capabilities for these collections. Digital libraries come in different types, including document digital libraries for electronic publishing and data warehouses for combining data from various sources. While digital libraries provide advantages like increased access and preservation, they also involve high costs for digitization, technical expertise, and network infrastructure.
Defining collections and creating their descriptionsValentine Charles
The document discusses the importance of defining and describing collections in libraries. It notes that while digitization efforts have increased access to some materials, only a small percentage of total holdings have been digitized. Creating collection descriptions can help provide context and improve discovery of both digitized and non-digitized materials. Collection descriptions are useful for several purposes, such as increasing visibility of special collections, creating curated topic-based corpora, and aiding in search relevance. They also help in managing collections over time and addressing gaps. The document raises questions about what collections libraries have and whether they have structured descriptions to share.
This document discusses key aspects of digitization and digital preservation. It defines digitization as representing objects through numbers and discusses reasons for digitization like access and preservation. It outlines three key aspects of digital preservation - management, technology, and content. For management it discusses policies, planning, resources and advocacy. For technology it discusses standards like OAIS. For content it discusses metadata standards, file formats, and working with creators. It emphasizes digital preservation is a long term project that requires careful planning and resources.
A distributed network of digital heritage information - Semantics AmsterdamEnno Meijers
This document discusses strategies for improving discovery of digital heritage information across Dutch cultural institutions. It identifies problems with the current infrastructure based on OAI-PMH including lack of semantic alignment and inefficient data integration. The proposed strategy is to build a distributed network based on Linked Data principles, with a registry of organizations and datasets, a knowledge graph with backlinks to support resource discovery, and virtual data integration using federated querying of Linked Data sources. This will improve usability, visibility, and sustainability of digital heritage information in the Netherlands.

An introduction to repository reference modelsJulie Allinson
Presentation at CETIS Metadata and Digital Repositories SIG Meeting, 1st March 2006, HE Academy, York. Julie Allinson, Digital Repositories Support Officer, UKOLN, University of Bath
This paper surveys the landscape of linked open data projects in cultural heritage, exam- ining the work of groups from around the world. Traditionally, linked open data has been ranked using the five star method proposed by Tim Berners-Lee. We found this ranking to be lacking when evaluating how cultural heritage groups not merely develop linked open datasets, but find ways to used linked data to augment user experience. Building on the five-star method, we developed a six-stage life cycle describing both dataset development and dataset usage. We use this framework to describe and evaluate fifteen linked open data projects in the realm of cultural heritage.
Connecting the Dots: Linking Digitized Collections Across Metadata SilosOCLC
This document summarizes a presentation about linking digitized collections across metadata silos. It discusses how projects like Europeana and the Digital Public Library of America have struggled to rationalize aggregated data. To better share data within and across organizations, standards and best practices need to be applied universally to connect related items and allow data to be consumed by both humans and machines. The presentation advocates for publishing data as linked open data using identifiers and schemas like Schema.org to form a knowledge graph and improve discoverability on the web.

DI SEGUITO SONO PUBBLICATI, AI SENSI DELL'ART. 11 DELLA LEGGE N. 3/2019, GLI IMPORTI RICEVUTI DALL'ENTRATA IN VIGORE DELLA SUDDETTA NORMA (31/01/2019) E FINO AL MESE SOLARE ANTECEDENTE QUELLO DELLA PUBBLICAZIONE SUL PRESENTE SITO
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

The challenge of
aggregating Digital
Heritage information
7. This sounds/looks familiar!
NDE aims at increasing the social value of
digital heritage by making it more visible,
usable and sustainable.
8. Problems current infrastructure…
• OAI-PMH based: so COPY and process…
• no clear definitions of collections, organizations
• no clear identifier schemes, limited use of formalized terms
• multiple aggregation routes for different purposes (thematic,
regional, domain)
• silo based platforms with integrated aggregation and user services
• data owners not happy about visibility, quality, provenance, usability
• limited possibilities for cross-domain, cross-material views
9.
10. NDE’s approach on aggregation
• focus on registering instead of aggregation:
• collections (= datasets), terminology sources, objects
• refer to the source instead of copying the data
• selective aggregation/indexing/querying based on user demands
• encourage the use of formal definitions (‘who, where, what, when’)
• build a Knowledge Graph for Digital Heritage
• record the URI instead of copying the string
• adoption of Linked Data technologies
• publish collection data as Linked Open Data (build open data registries)
• support data owners for publishing their data as linked data (cooperate with suppliers)
11. Described in DERA 1.0 : Digitaal Erfgoed Referentie Architectuur
Register before aggregation
12. Step by step approach
Step 1: move central systems to LOD
- aggregators publish datasets as LOD
- reference sources openly available as LOD
- aggregators feed the registry
- service portals use registry & aggregated data
Step 2: synchronize local systems
-local systems use formal reference sources
-local adoption of formal identifiers
-aggregators feed the registry
-service portals use registry & aggregated data
Step 3: move local systems to LOD
- local systems publish datasets as LOD
- local systems feed the registry
- service portals use registry & aggregated LOD data
Step 4: LOD enabled network
- local systems feed the registry
- local systems support distributed querying
- service portals query local LOD data
- aggregators become service portals
13. Central registry for datasets, terminology sources and links to objects.

17. Proof-of-Concept phase (1)
NDE participates in projects to develop / test the approach:
• Zuiderzee Museum / Amsterdam Museum
• Network Dutch War Resources
• VTMK fashion thesaurus (Modemuze)
• Picture library Dutch East Indies
• GTAA @ Groninger Archieven (webarchive)
• Linked Data Pilot National Archives
• RKDArtists
18. Proof-of-Concept phase (2)
• Investigate possible alignment with
• Europeana
• CLARIAH
• Packed/Flemish Heritage institutions
• Investigate new protocols/solutions/platforms:
• Linked Data Fragments (LODLaundromat)
• Resource Sync, Webmention, Linked Data Notifications
• Experiment with distributed web technologies (IPFS/Blockchain)
