Lessons learned....
• minimal investment for improved access
• taster of the Library's collections
• the world is full of knowledgeable people
• to gain benefits you have to give something up
• findability beyond the Library website
• open ... but not open enough

open data
is the concept that data
is made available
so others can use
and re-use it
without restrictions
of copyright
or control mechanisms
![Page 11: Unlocking doors: recent initiatives in open and linked data at National Library of Scotland](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042614/5582ef75d8b42a2c168b48fa/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
open data
if you created the metadata
then you can license it as you wish
if you create or own the resource
then you can license it as you wish

What we don't have .... experience
skills
resources
What we do have ... great data
lots of enthusiasm
friends to help
![Page 17: Unlocking doors: recent initiatives in open and linked data at National Library of Scotland](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042614/5582ef75d8b42a2c168b48fa/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

What we did until April 2012
stop ... start ... stop ... start ... stop ... start
• went to school to learn RDF
• tried mapping our data to DC Terms
• tried to discover URIs
• created RDF for a single resource
• wondered what to do next
• wondered if it was worth our while
![Page 18: Unlocking doors: recent initiatives in open and linked data at National Library of Scotland](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042614/5582ef75d8b42a2c168b48fa/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

And then we spoke to our friends:
freeYourMetadata.org
"you should use Google Refine to discover URIs"
Open Knowledge Foundation
"use theDataHub.org for publishing & use CC.0"
Metadata Management Associates
"let us help you model your data because we
have a theory ..."

Next (small) steps ....
• keep learning .... keep asking!
• publish structure and data to theDataHub.org
o Forth Bridge
o Haig photos
o Everything!
• think about NLS URIs
• record vocabulary URIs at metadata creation
• address licensing issues with vocabularies
• hope someone uses it!
