Linked Data and International Standards for Cultural Heritage
International conference
We kindly invite you to the international conference ‘Linked data and international standards for cultural heritage’, which will take place at KBR, the Royal Library of Belgium, on 13 – 14 September 2022, as a hybrid event.
Description
The networking project LOD-ISNI, funded by BELSPO, aims at strengthening the long-term cooperation with (inter)national partners, and at promoting the use of Linked Open Data and international standards for disclosing and valorising cultural heritage materials.
Despite the many policies and platforms to support the move to Open Data, the public availability of cultural heritage data is still limited and dispersed. Implementing linked open data techniques and international standards like ISNI (International Standard Name Identifier) makes cultural heritage data more FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable), provides an opportunity to efficiently bring together currently siloed information, and enables synergies with other organisations across different domains, repositories, collections and systems.
Gathering key actors to discuss state-of-the-art solutions and lessons learned, this conference serves a twofold purpose:
- empower the cultural heritage sector, as well as research institutions and book professionals in their digital transformation
- develop a long-lasting network that will enhance international and cross domain collaboration.
Themes
The conference will address the following topics:
- Linked (Open) Data
- International standards, e.g. ISNI
- FAIR data and cultural heritage
- Cooperative Cataloguing
- Digital data flows, e.g. between publishers and libraries
- Cross domain research
- Collections as data
Programme, biographies and abstracts
The sessions on 13 September will focus mainly on Linked Data, on 14 September the focus will be on international standards.
