Hi all,

Would love to brainstorm how to implement linked data on a variety of cultural heritage institutional metadata. We’ve been working on a project about artist books and enhancing with Getty LOD vocabs and would love to get a feel for how or if others are thinking about how to enhance their legacy data to be more usable for others. Some thoughts about what would be discussed:

  • What to do with legacy data – what forms it takes, what is best for the objects and what is best for interoperability?
  • Identifying relevant tools for cleaning and enhancing data, such as OpenRefine, Heidelberg tool?
  • Relevant team members for such a project, including domain expert and metadata and systems experts – how to communicate effectively across multiple expertise backgrounds
  • Balancing over- or underenhancement, particularly for works of art
  • What are some ways to visualize connections and relationships between creators and artifacts?
  • How can we ensure that a project is sustainable?
