Exploring the Benefits for Users of Linked Open Data for Digitized Special Collections, White paper #1: Transforming special collections metadata into linked open data: mappings, entity reconciliation, workflows implemented & lessons learned

Transforming and migrating legacy metadata for special collections to a linked data compatible ontology requires metadata remediation, enhancement, and mapping. Entity reconciliation (adding the links) is a critical component as well. The first part of this white paper summarizes the mappings and workflows developed for our three digital special collections (Motley Collection of Theatre and Costume Design, Portraits of Actors, and the Kolb-Proust Archive Research), the challenges encountered, and solutions identified for these challenges. The second part of this white paper describes entity reconciliation approaches used to discover links to more information about the entities mentioned in the metadata.Andrew W.

Exploring the Benefits for Users of Linked Open Data for Digitized Special Collections, White paper #2: Analysis of Early User Feedback

This paper reports on a research study conducted to evaluate experimental, LOD-based features of digital special collections, which investigated the question: how do these features affect the use of digital collections for research? Because humanities researchers are the primary user group for cultural collections, this study focused on what humanities researchers might gain from LOD-based enhancements to digital collections.Andrew W.

First Global Conflict: Contemporary Views of the Great War, 1914-1919

A century has passed since the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the premiership of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This murder in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914 set in motion the first great conflict of the twentieth century and the first conflagration to involve a world-wide system of empires, treaties, protectorates, and dependencies. This exhibition uses primary resource material from RBML to look at the conflict through the eyes of those who witnessed it.Ope
