I believe participating in the Semantic Web and providing content via the
principles of linked data is not rocket surgery, especially for cultural
heritage institutions -- libraries, archives, and museums. Here is a simple
recipe for their participation:
1. use existing metadata standards
It's a great start Eric. It helps me think that I can do it. Looking
forward to more.

Eric, I think this skips a step - which is the design step in which you

serialization; it actually may require you to re-think the basic
structure of your metadata. The reason for that is that it provides
capabilities that
I think you’ve hit the nail on the head here, Karen. I would just add, or maybe
reassure, that this does not necessarily require rethinking your existing
metadata but how to translate that existing metadata into a linked data
environment. Though this might seem like a pain, in many cases it
I'm not sure that I agree that RDF is not a serialization. It really
depends on the context of the system and intended use of the linked data.
For example, TEI is designed with a specific purpose which cannot be
replicated in RDF (at least, not very easily at all), but deriving RDF from
That's still not a serialization. It's just a similar data model.
Pretty huge difference.

I see that serialization has a different definition in computer science
than I thought it did.

RDF is a data model *not* a serialization.

Eric, if you want to leap into the linked data world in the fastest,
easiest way possible, then I suggest looking at microdata markup, e.g.
schema.org.[1] Schema.org does not require you to transform your data at
all: it only requires mark-up of your online displays. This makes sense
because
Hasn't the pendulum swung back toward RDFa Lite (
http://www.w3.org/TR/rdfa-lite/) recently? They are fairly equivalent, but
I'm not sure about all the politics involved.
