The LOD-LAM Summit is a biennial meeting that brings together the community of researchers\u00a0involved in the development and application of Linked Open Data (LOD) technology for\u00a0the publication of the cultural heritage on the Web. In line with the previous summits, the\u00a0fourth edition in 2017 takes the form of a two-day workshop. At the end of the workshop,\u00a0awards will be given to the best projects presented and discussed during the two days.<\/p>\n
LOD is the latest, most promising semantic Web technology for the publication of online\u00a0archives, capable of transforming and structuring information and enhancing its search methods,\u00a0analysis and visualisation. One peculiar feature is the capacity to relate data of various\u00a0types and from different institutions, creating a kind of virtual global network.\u00a0The Summit provides the opportunity for discussions and exchanges of experiences thus making\u00a0an important contribution to scientific research in the sector. It has been organized by the\u00a0Fondazione Cini together with a group of leading international cultural institutions: Europeana of\u00a0King\u2019s College London, the Getty Institute, the University of Houston, the Metropolitan New York\u00a0Library Council (METRO), Cornell University Library, CNR, the Public Record Office, Victoria,\u00a0the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), New York Public Library (NYPL), DigitalNZ, the\u00a0National Library of Colombia, North Rhine-Westphalian Library Service Center hbz Germany,\u00a0the University of Bologna, the Institute of Information Science \u2013 Academia Sinica, Taipei Taiwan,\u00a0the National Institute of Informatics Japan, OCLC, Kent State University Ohio, Istituto per i beni\u00a0artistici, culturali e naturali Regione Emilia-Romagna, Regesta.exe, and the Pratt Institute, New\u00a0York.
