The document discusses publishing cultural heritage data as Linked Open Data to make it more accessible and useful online. It describes how currently, cultural heritage information on websites is readable by humans but not understandable by computers. The authors propose publishing this data as Linked Open Data using Resource Description Framework (RDF) standards so it can be interconnected across different providers and used to build innovative applications. They outline some potential applications like an enhanced website about artist John Singer Sargent that links to related articles and artworks, as well as a virtual museum connecting different cultural institutions. The overall goals are to contribute data, leverage existing data, and lead the way in this area through their work with the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
