Together with Sarah Shoilee, I wrote an encyclopedic article summarizing the promises and challenges of Linked Open Data for Cultural Heritage. It has now been published as part of the The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Cultural Heritage and Conflict.
In the article, we describe the principles and technologies of Linked (Open) Data and how these have been applied in the heritage domain. We also include a section on LOD for Colonial Heritage, matching some of the work we are currently doing in the Pressing Matter and HAICu projects.
