What are we dealing with?

Historic Press Archives, founded in 1909 (Hamburg) and 1914 (Kiel) Some material dating back to 1826 Collections closed in 2005Thematic dossiers covering Persons Companies Products General subjects and events

Starting point for our Linked Data application

Former DFG funded project, resulting in Digitized roll films (material before 1949) Relational database about dossiers Big filesystem currently containing 250,000 publicly accessible documents roughly 650,000 pages

Page 8

Primary Goals of our application development

1. To give each and every collection, dossier, document, page and even search result set a persistent identifier for citation and linking, in order to support scholarly use.

2. To provide context from metadata on the web to users and link toother data sources relevant to the domain, in order to enhance user experience.

Goal 1 – Minting Identifiers

Achieved through

Nested OAI-ORE Aggregations Resource Maps expressed in

RDFa which provides also user

navigation paths and the API

=> Plain, bare structure

External data as an overlay structure

GeoNames provides a hierarchy of geographical objects:

gn:parentFeature generic hierarchygn:parentCountry countrygn:parentADM1 admin unit, 1st level, eg US state gn:parentADM2 admin unit, 2nd levelgn:parentADM3 admin unit, 3rd levelgn:parentADM4 admin unit, 4th levelgn:contains list of child features (rdf document)

Page 33

External data as an overlay structure (cont.)

gn:nearbyFeatures list of nearby features (rdf document)owl:sameAs dbpedia

“Import” GeoNames hierarchy to organize our own data for providing enhanced resource discovery and additional user navigation paths

on our web site

Page 34

So – what can we do with Linked Data?

Enrich web sites with information curated elsewhere Provide multi-lingual contents Support resource discovery through authority files, thesauri,

synonym lists, etc. Exploit addtional structure imported from Linked Data sources into

our applications
