For Europeana, the platform for Europe’s digital cultural heritage from libraries, museums and archives, getting richer (semantic and multilingual) metadata is a priority. It improves access to the 40 million cultural heritage objects, notably enabling the multilingual retrieval of documents and creates relations between objects. To enhance data and enable retrieval across languages, Europeana performs automatic enrichment by selecting source metadata field(s) in the Europeana data and creating links to a selected target vocabulary or dataset representing contextual resources such as places, concepts, agents and time periods. Wikidata is since a while on Europeana’s radar as a potential new target for enrichment but how can it be integrated with cultural heritage data?

To (too?) Public: library Marketing and Public Relations in Public Libraries Today. Presentation by Katre Riisalu, President of the Estonian Librarians Association
Presented at the International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC) Web Archiving Week, University of London, 16 June 2017.
Web archiving has become imperative to ensure that our digital heritage does not disappear forever, yet many institutions have not begun this work. In addition, archived websites are not easily discoverable, which severely limits their use. To address this challenge, OCLC Research has established the OCLC Research Library Partnership Web Archiving Metadata Working Group to develop a data dictionary that will be compatible with library and archives standards. Three reports on this project are available in July 2017, focused on metadata best practices guidelines, user needs and behaviors, and evaluation of web archiving tools.

Usage of Linked Data: Introduction and Application ScenariosEUCLID project
This presentation introduces the main principles of Linked Data, the underlying technologies and background standards. It provides basic knowledge for how data can be published over the Web, how it can be queried, and what are the possible use cases and benefits. As an example, we use the development of a music portal (based on the MusicBrainz dataset), which facilitates access to a wide range of information and multimedia resources relating to music.

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.

1. Will’s World:
Walking Through Shakespeare
The use of Linked Data in the
Shakespeare Registry Project
Muriel Mewissen – Project Manager
21 September 2012 http://willsworld.blogs.edina.ac.uk 1
2. Outline
• Shakespeare Registry background
• British Museum SPARQL endpoint
• Conclusion
21 September 2012 http://willsworld.blogs.edina.ac.uk 2
3. Background
• JISC Discovery Programme 10 months projects
– Dec 11 to Sep 12
• Aim: to improve discoverability and usability of
online data through better access to better metadata
• Demonstrate the benefits and principles of
assembling metadata: ‘aggregation as a tactic’
• Focus on Shakespeare
– Lots of data
– Cultural Olympiad & Anniversary 23rd April
• Glasgow culture hack event
21 September 2012 http://willsworld.blogs.edina.ac.uk 3
5. Linked Data Fit
Questions
Users/Developers Who? What?
Registry How? Attractive? Format?
Self- sustainable, transferable Schema? License?
Content How much? Sharing? Easy
Rich, complex Access? Format?
Wikipedia on Linked Data:
“linked data describes a method of publishing structured data so that it can be
interlinked and become more useful. It builds upon standard Web technologies
such as HTTP and URIs, but rather than using them to serve web pages for human
readers, it extends them to share information in a way that can be read
automatically by computers. This enables data from different sources to be
connected and queried… using standard formats such as RDF/XML…”
Answer?
21 September 2012 http://willsworld.blogs.edina.ac.uk 5
6. Linked Data Provision
• Over 40 sources of online resources
– Royal Shakespeare Company, Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, Shakespeare’s
Globe, Shakespeare Institute, Folger Shakespeare Library, Open
Shakespeare, World Shakespeare Festival, Open Source Shakespeare, …
– British Museum, British Library, Bodleain Library, Bristish Universities Film &
Video Council, National Library of Scotland, Wellcome Images, British Library
of Sounds, JISC MediaHUB, BBC, …
– National Theatre Poster, Bosak’s Play of Shakespeare in XML, The work of the
Bard, internet Shakespeare Editions, PlayShakespeare.com, Seanco Technology
Shakespeare Quote Generator, ...
• Many images, some XML, one SPARQL endpoint!
British Museum: http://collection.britishmuseum.org/Sparql
21 September 2012 http://willsworld.blogs.edina.ac.uk 6
7. SPARQL Endpoint
• Service endpoint
• Web interface
• Run SPARQL
queries
• Linked Data
• Structured RDF
stores
21 September 2012 http://willsworld.blogs.edina.ac.uk 7
8. Using the British Museum SPARQL
Easy to start:
• Sample query: document ontologies
• Help: data structure, access & URIS
• Documentation: Controlled terms, object names thesaurus
Search for “Shakespeare”, “William Shakespeare”
• Difficult to do keyword search
• Difficult to do multi-stage search
– Find the unique ID for an entity
– Retrieve information related to the entity
• Limited or no results
• Overload the service
21 September 2012 http://willsworld.blogs.edina.ac.uk 8
9. SPARQL Common Issues
Common issues:
• Lack of documentation (ontologies, identifiers)
• Lack example queries
• Lack of identifiers
• Slow, timeouts & result size limit
• Inefficient queries (text & keyword search)
21 September 2012 http://willsworld.blogs.edina.ac.uk 9
10. SPARQL endpoint
SPARQL is not
• Relational DB (search on given value for field)
– Simple SQL query can be complex
• Text DB like Solr (flexible text search)
– Not suited for discovery
SPARQL provides links & context
Think about Linked Data in the right way
21 September 2012 http://willsworld.blogs.edina.ac.uk 10
11. Asking the Right Questions
• Structured data needs structured queries
• To build meaningful queries, we need to know:
– Data, structure, schema, identifiers
• Internally specified
How do we identify “William Shakespeare” and
related objects before we can the retrieve the
relevant Linked Data?
• Need identifier for “William Shakespeare”
• URI or ID in the British Museum schema
21 September 2012 http://willsworld.blogs.edina.ac.uk 11
12. Workflow for extracting metadata
1. Collection
Database
Search GUI
21 September 2012 http://willsworld.blogs.edina.ac.uk 12
17. Sustainable Workflow?
Workaround
• Multiple GUI searches on
Shakespeare, William
Shakespeare, Macbeth, Hamlet,….
• Manual steps
• Many small queries, few large queries
Feedback on blog post
Person ID for “Shakespeare, William”
21 September 2012 http://willsworld.blogs.edina.ac.uk 17
20. Conclusions
• SPARQL best suited to link data from different
informational silos, not suited to text search and
discovery
• Common identifiers are essentials (i.e. ISSN)
– Use of standards (ISNI), common language &
ontologies
• Documentation & example queries
• Be prepared
– To use additional data sources to identify URIs
– To run many queries
21 September 2012 http://willsworld.blogs.edina.ac.uk 20
21. Thanks
• British Museum
– SPARQL is Beta version to generate feedback
– New version available within a few months
• Owen Stephens
• EDINA
