Linked Open Data & the Jewish Cultural Heritage di admin Linked Open Data & the Jewish Cultural Heritage è il titolo del workshop internazionale che avrà luogo il 20 gennaio 2015 presso la Camera dei Deputati promosso dalla Fondazione CDEC, regesta.exe, Istituto di Telematica e Informatica del CNR di Pisa e patrocinato dal W3C Italia e dall’Unione delle Comunità Ebraiche Italiane. L’evento rientra nelle iniziative promosse per il Giorno della Memoria e non casualmente. Le nuove tecnologie del Semantic Web possono svolgere un ruolo essenziale nella salvaguardia della memoria della Shoah fornendo nuovi ed efficaci strumenti alla ricerca, potenziando il valore informativo dei dati finora custoditi da enti e istituzioni nel mondo, rendendo possibile la collaborazione, lo scambio, l’arricchimento di informazioni, in maniera decentrata e sinergica, fra istituti e soggetti diversi, proprietari o custodi di patrimoni informativi sparsi nel web.

Digital Library e ontologia sulla “Shoah”: un progetto CDEC di laura-brazzo Il V Congresso sionistico Mondiale di Basilea nel 1903. Dal Fondo Angelo Sullam, l’autore dello scatto Alla fine del 2012 la Fondazione CDEC ha lanciato un innovativo progetto di Digital Library, la cui prima, prevista, fase di lavoro si concluderà a dicembre 2014 con la pubblicazione, in occasione del Giorno della Memoria (27 gennaio 2015), della prima banca dati, in formato Linked Open Data, dedicata alle risorse per la storia e la memoria della Shoah in Italia. Il progetto, di lungo periodo e finanziato, in questa prima fase, con i fondi della Legge speciale dello Stato n. 155 del 2009, è stato pensato e realizzato con l’obiettivo di conservare e valorizzare al massimo grado il patrimonio documentale della Fondazione CDEC: attraverso l’ampliamento e il potenziamento delle opportunità di accesso alle informazioni e ai documenti che il web garantisce; ma, soprattutto, attraverso la possibilità di riuso dei dati che la tecnologia Linked Data consente.

Training Day Videos & Slides Thanks to our friends at SemTechBiz (big ups to Eric Franzon) and amazing LODLAMers around the world who volunteered to put on sessions, we were able to put together an amazing prototype for something we hope to take on the road in 2015: the first LODLAM Training Day. We had an incredible lineup of people sharing their real-world approaches to both publishing and reusing Linked Open Data in library, archive, and museum settings. The idea with the Training Day is to get into hands-on applications and examples rather than conceptual talks, and begin giving people the means to share and create within the “web of data.” We were bootstrapping it a bit, but we did put together videos of the talks (with the exception of Rob’s, in which we very sadly lost the last half of his talk due to camera fail), and everyone shared their slides. You can see all of the talks in a Youtube Channel, or see the individual talks embedded below with links to their slides or examples.
Linked Data Survey results – Who’s doing it OCLC Research conducted an international linked data survey for implementers between 7 July and 15 August 2014. This is the first post in the series reporting the results. We received 92 responses to the international linked data survey conducted between 7 July and 15 August 2014. (So who is using linked data? And for what?) Although the survey was designed specifically for implementers of linked data projects/services, 26 of the 92 responses said they had not implemented nor were implementing a linked data project. The remaining 66 responses reported implementing 160 linked data projects/services; 68 of them are described. 23 of the projects consume linked data; 3 publish linked data; 42 both consume and publish linked data. Of the 68 projects: 27 are not yet in production; 9 have been in production for less than one year; 12 have been in production for more than one year but less than two years; 20 have been in production for more than two years.

This represents an important step in the Getty’s ongoing work to make our knowledge resources freely available to all. Following the release of the Art & Architecture Thesaurus (AAT)® in February, TGN is now the second of the four Getty vocabularies to be made entirely free to download, share, and modify. Both data sets are available for download at vocab.getty.edu under an Open Data Commons Attribution License (ODC BY 1.0). What Is TGN? The Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names is a resource of over 2,000,000 names of current and historical places, including cities, archaeological sites, nations, and physical features. Why Linked Open Data? What artists were working in Venice in the 1520s? A Rich Data Ecosystem Next Steps and Feedback
Art of Devastation Art of Devastation (AoD) is a new catalogue and research tool designed to help in the identification, cataloguing, and contextualization of the abundant and varied types of non-monetary numismatic items issued during and immediately after the First World War (1914-1918). These items include art medals, commemorative medals, and tokens, but do not include military decorations. Art of Devastation aims to be the first comprehensive, easily searchable, linked data catalogue of the c.10,000 different types of medals and tokens produced in response to this major conflict. Before the War began, medals and tokens had served for centuries as a significant means of communication where easy and durable forms of mass communication did not exist. Whether issued by states, organizations, or individuals, their commemorative and propagandistic function was already well known and understood.
