SAAM LOD: Future
More open data types and formats• Beyond accessioned objects, publishing curatorial &
educational information• Raw data exports hosted on GitHub
Better use of existing open data• Leveraging LOD for in-house applications and websites• Integrating semantic data/relationships into an API layer• Stronger effort into semantic webpage metadata
