Hardly any libraries or publishers publish research data as Linked Open Data (LOD) to make research data available as LOD. To overcome this lacuna, the UvA Library and the UvA CREATE Lab have been working together on a LOD pilot.
Over the past year, the pilot project has been making three existing datasets – Cinema Context, Onstage, and Ecartico— available as LOD. All three databases, resulting from research into cultural programs in Amsterdam by CREATE (Media Studies UvA) can be used separately. However, in this pilot, the data is brought together and opened up for broader analysis. A clear advantage these three LODs have over their individual dataset iterations is that there is no need to download the database files.
Significantly, this LOD pilot was nominated for the Dutch Data Prize 2022, a prize that is awarded every two years to an individual or a team that makes research data FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).
