[open-bibliography] Fwd: [LOD-LAM] Archives Hub Linked Data Release

Mon May 9 19:14:21 UTC 2011

Hello,

the LOCAH project has published its first test dataset under a CC0
public domain waiver. For more information about the release of this
archival data see the mail form Adrian Stevenson below. Does anybody
know whether there also is a full dump available?

In the announcement, also the project is mentioned to publish COPAC as
Linked Data in a month time. Hopefully, this library catalog also will
be published under CC0.

Cheers
Adrian

Dear All

On behalf of the UK JISC-funded LOCAH Project: Linked Open Copac and
Archives Hub [1], I'm very pleased to announce the release of
http://data.archiveshub.ac.uk, our first Linked Data set. The project
is making records from the Archives Hub service [2] and Copac service
[3] available as Linked Data. The Archives Hub is an aggregation of
archival metadata from repositories across the UK; Copac provides
access to the merged library catalogues of libraries throughout the
UK, including all national libraries.

More information about the release is available on our project blog at
http://blogs.ukoln.ac.uk/locah/2011/05/09/archives-hub-linked-data-release/.
We encourage feedback on the data, the model and any other aspect of
data.archiveshub.ac.uk, so please leave comments or contact us
directly.

I would personally like to thank the LOCAH team for all their hard
work on this exciting and challenging project. I’d also like to thank
our technology partner, Talis [4] for kindly providing our Linked Data
store.
