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.

A while ago, we submitted a project description of our Digital History project Dutch Ships and Sailors to the DHCommons journal and this week the first issue of the journal was published containing our paper “The Dutch Ships and Sailors project“.

This is a nice companion piece to the more technical description of the dataset which was published in the proceedings of ISWC 2014. The new version highlights more the general setup of the project and the considerations and innovations of the project from a historical point of view.

Since submission of this ‘mid-term project description’, the DSS data cloud has been expanding, and the ‘development’ version of the triple store now hosts six datasets thanks to the work of Jeroen Entjes (see the datacloud figure).
