LITA Next-Generation Catalog IG3 Linked Open Data Use URIs as names for things Use HTTP URIs so that people can look up those names. When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information. Include links to other URIs. so that they can discover more things.

LITA Next-Generation Catalog IG4 Linked Data Metadata as a Graph Typed “things”, named by URIs The relationships between those things, also built on URIs Ease of integration *across* data sources – “merging graphs”

All these innovations rely on the data that comes in Slide from J Stevenson:

LITA Next-Generation Catalog IG23 Linking Lives “ utilising external datasets in order to bring archives together with other data sources ” “ there is still a need to make a convincing argument that Linked Data really will provide concrete benefits to the end user. ”
