Abstract

This two-part workshop intends to explore the possibilities of Linked Data within the SpokenWeb collections. Linked Data is structured data that is interlinked with other data, in our metadata schema this interlinking occurs on different fields such as location, creator, contributors and most notably on the content’s fields. The first part of the workshop will be a demonstration of the tool we develop to make such interlinking task easier on the cataloguers, and a demo instance of a linked data database system with some examples applications and visualizations. The second part of the session would be an open dialogue to explore different possibilities of this technology that might be of interest to our community moving forward.
