I’m just curious. To what degree does ArchiveSpace support publishing content
as linked data? Transforming EAD (or MARC) into serialized RDF is functional
but not ideal for linked data, for many reasons. ArchiveSpace as a content
management system may be more feasible. At the very least,

ArchivesSpace has a REST backend API, and requests yield a response in
JSON. As one option, I'd investigate to publish linked data as JSON-LD.
Some degree of mapping would be necessary, but I imagine it would be
significantly easier to that instead of using something like D2RQ.

Hello,
Pardon my ignorance here, but we were discussing use cases and user stories and
noting how static they are (in our implementation of them) for capturing user
needs for more general library services. Im my experience, there is one story
per need, and additional expressions of that
We've used our LibAnswers (reference and service desk) and LibAnalytics
(instruction) data to inform our website redesign process in pretty much
exactly that way. I did it pretty roughly, with spreadsheets and some
by-hand analysis, but the data would also be pretty susceptible to
scripting for a

Certainly possible with the system we have, I'm just thinking a more generally.
Thanks for the thoughts,

Eric,
You probably want to do the 1.0.7 full install, which does use a MySQL
database. Sound like you've installed just the demo version.

xEAC is an open-source XForms-based application for creating and managing

Let me ask a more direct question. If participating in linked data is a “good
thing”, then how do you — anybody here — suggest archivists (or librarians or
museum curators) do that starting today? —Eric Morgan

I think that RDFa provides the lowest barrier to entry. Using dcterms for
publisher, creator, title, etc. is a good place to start, and if your
collection (archival, library, museum) links to terms defined in LOD
vocabulary systems (LCSH, Getty, LCNAF, whatever), output these URIs in the

Hi Chris,
I'm curious about your analysis re. when the data would start influencing
the redesign process. E.g does 5 queries about a certain topic enough to
warrant the redesign, etc.
Mind elaborate that a bit?
thanks,
