1. Make your stuff openly available on the web ★
2. Make it available as structured data★★
3. Use a non-proprietary format ★★★
4. Use RDF to identify your things ★★★★
5. Link to other people’s things using URIs ★★★★★
RAD is not for the user; RAD is for archivists
But…
We are in a position to provide trusted metadata for resources of long-term cultural importance
Foster discussion about open data and
rights management
Develop descriptive standards compatible
with linked open data
Apply our collective LAM experience in
curation, provenance and long-term
preservation to linked open data
Thomas Bexton, Allana Mayer, Rebecka Sheffield and Kyle Shockey for listening to me babble and/or help me form coherent thoughts (and sharing their coherent thoughts, too!)
Special thanks to Alison Hitchens, Head of Digital Initiatives at the University of Waterloo Library, who explains LODLAM in a way even my feeble brain can wrap around it easily; I hope I’ve emulated her approach even a little bit today.
Sincere heartfelt thanks to MJ Suhonos, who piqued my interest in the semantic web again 10 years after I first heard of it, and made me care deeply for what could be. Thank you as well for putting up with a tidal wave of confusing emails. Your patience and kindness are boundless.
