> Here's an excerpt:
> Linked data is a process for embedding the descriptive information of
> archives into the very fabric of the Web. By transforming archival
> description into linked data, an archivist will enable other people as well
> as computers to read and use their archival description, even if the others
> are not a part of the archival community. The process goes both ways.
> Linked data also empowers archivists to use and incorporate the information
> of other linked data providers into their local description. This enables
> archivists to make their descriptions more thorough, more complete, and
> more value-added. For example, archival collections could be automatically
> supplemented with geographic coordinates in order to make maps, images of
> people or additional biographic descriptions to make collections come
> alive, or bibliographies for further reading.
