  • Published:
Scientific and Technical Information Processing Aims and scope

Abstract

An overview of the application of linked open data technologies in foreign projects in the field of digital humanities is provided. In this field, several directions can be distinguished: the transformation of digital collections of culture and art into linked open data, the integration of heterogeneous data related to an event, bibliographic resources, language information resources, and musical and musicological data. The most valuable type of linked data projects are technological developments and infrastructure projects that create the basis for national systems of digital humanities. The role of ontology in the implementation of linked data projects is emphasized.
