Samvera Applied Linked Data Interest Group

Samvera Applied Linked Data Interest Group

Draft Scope & Objectives

We share approaches, work-in-progress, and finished code aimed at using external linked data in our applications. We coordinate development efforts where possible.

Current and past focal points of discussion / activity:

  • Linked Data Fragments server (ActiveTriples/ldf)

    • caching to allow for high availability URI resolution

      • configuration

      • expiration

    • querying to allow for data mirrors or remote downtime stop-gap strategies

  • Questioning Authority (projecthydra/questioning_authority)

    • querying linked data endpoints

    • integration with LDF (curationexperts/qa-ldf)

  • Indexing - keeping index updated in conjunction with ldf cache

  • Navigation / Cataloger UI - providing context above and beyond autocomplete

  • Linked data predicate range issues

  • Recommendations on which Linked Data vocabularies to use that should remain around.

Out of scope:

  • Long term preservation of Linked Data.
