SEMANTIC WEB

Page 30: The digital museum as platform v2
Page 31: The digital museum as platform v2

OK, so...We’ve got a lot of our objects registered

We’ve got the ~10 basic information about

objects

We need more info about the objects

We need CONTEXT info

We need CONNECTIONS

to other objects, people, places, times,

concepts, ideas, phonomena

Semantic Web / Linked

DataIs about doing what the web enable us to do:

Converge our collections

Overcome the limits of time and space

Give easy and one stop, one serve access

Build our ressources into ONE by connecting

them

(properly, through Linked Data technologies)
