Study Support and Integration of Cultural Information Resources with Linked Data

Abstract

A museum collection search system called Linked Open Data for Academia (LODAC) Museum has been developed that uses Linked Data. The LODAC Museum identifies and associates artists, artworks, and museum information from some different museums to provide integrated data that are published as Linked Data with the SPARQL endpoint. This project's purpose is to provide an information distribution system that can share and publish a wide range of data as Linked Data, especially in the artistic and cultural fields in Japan. Different types of data are currently being integrated, and new approaches and support for studying these fields are being investigated.
