GLAMorous LOD and ResearchSpace introduction
This document discusses the development of ResearchSpace (RS), a platform that allows researchers to make claims by adding to and modifying data from cultural heritage institutions in a way that preserves canonical data. RS components include search, data annotation, image annotation, a "data basket" for collecting items, a dashboard, and conjunctive search. It also discusses fundamental relationships that can be represented in linked cultural data.
