A distributed network of digital
heritage information
Enno Meijers
Netwerk Digital Erfgoed (NDE) aims
at increasing the social value of the
(digital) heritage information
maintained by libraries, archives,
museums and other cultural heritage
institutions.
Long term cooperation between the
government and the institutions on
national, regional and local level. It’s
about information and people!
Three layered approach for improving
the sustainability, the usability and the
visibility of digital heritage information.
lodlam summit session browsable linked data
Typical aggregation process
collect
clean
enrich
harmonize
select
index
OAI-PMH based => data is copied
isolated improvements => datasource stays unchanged
one size fits all => possible loss of details
present
aimed at presentation => possible inefficient use of data
presentation at portal level => no feedback to the datasource
Based on a repository-centric approach...
And then build networks of aggregators...

And it is a lot of work...
lodlam summit session browsable linked data
Sören Auer (Fraunhofer): Enterprise Knowledge Graphs - 2016
Developing a resource-centric approach
First step: Implement Linked Data principles in the datasources
• use formal (sustainable!) URIs that describe the resources
- specify a URI strategy for the Digital Heritage Network
- implement persistent URIs (handles)
• provide resource URIs that deliver the data in RDF
• use of formal definitions for persons, places, concepts, events (URIs)
- provide Linked and Open reference sources to link to (thesauri, taxonomies, etc)
- build a Knowledge Graph for Dutch digital heritage
- align and link related terms
• add support for cross-domain discovery (EDM, Schema.org,...)
=> but how can this help our ‘Googling’ users to find our information?
Design issues...
A tiny example...suppose a resource exists:
<http://data.museum1.nl/object1>
a nde:painting ;
dcterms:subject <http://knowledgegraph.nde.nl/term1> .
For ‘browsable Linked Data’ you would like to add the inverse relation:
<http://knowledgegraph.nde.nl/term1>
a skos:Concept ;
skos:prefLabel "Flowers" ;
skos:isSubjectOf <http://data.museum1.nl/object1> .
TBL about ‘browsable linked data’ [1]:
In practice, when data is stored in two documents, this means that any RDF statements which relate
things in the two files must be repeated in each.
[1]: https://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html
Possible approaches to make it work
• Just implement schema.org and let search engines do the work…
• Aggregate all the related Linked Data resources:
- collect datadumps and build a large triplestore
- impressive work f.e. with LOD Laundromat
• Use federated querying:
- doesn’t work very well using regular triplestores
- implement Linked Data Fragments, but what if we have 1500 nodes?
- use logic for predicting most relevant endpoint [1]?
[1]: Routing Memento Requests Using Binary Classifiers
Or should we build a registry?
A decentralized infrastructure for the efficient management of resources in the web of data
- Michalis Stefanidakis, Ioannis Papadakis - SWIM 2012
Register organisations, datasets and backlinks
using DCAT,
or DataID?
NDE’s strategy for resource discovery
1. improve the usability of the data at the source:
- implement linked data principles
- align references for people, places, events, concepts (URIs!)
2. build a knowledge graph for Dutch digital heritage
3. build a registry to link to the resources:
- use formal definitions for organisations and datasets (DCAT/DataID)
- send backlinks to registry (using Linked Data Notifications?)
4. support selective collection of data by federated querying (or harvesting):
- use registry and knowledge graph for selecting the resources
- use Linked Data Fragments for federated querying?

TBL on Decentralization:
This is a principle of the design of distributed systems, including societies. It points out that
any single common point which is involved in any operation trends to limit the way the
system scales, and produce a single point of complete failure.
