Abstract
What happens when hundreds of thousands of archival photos are shared with open licenses, then mashed up with geolocation data and current photos? Or when app developers can freely utilize information and images from millions of books? Like the web of documents that became the World Wide Web, a web of data is the goal of Linked Open Data. This paper examines how a cultural, technological, and legal environment is enabling a growing ecosystem of open historical data. We explore the fundamental elements of Linked Open Data, how a global community within libraries, archives and museums is beginning to play a critical role, and how we are moving toward broader adoption.
Linking European Television Heritage
EUscreen represents all major European television archives and acts as a key aggregator providing audiovisual content to Europeana. The project aims at the creation of an online collection of representative television programmes, secondary sources of information and articles, facilitating access to students, scholars and the general public.
Weaving and hacking collections
In this hands-on workshop we are going to create concepts and use cases based on available online resources. Using the API's of our colleagues we like to research how we can make new experiences for our (online) visitors when combining our joint collections.

Building LOD for cultural information resources in Japan
Museum information in Japan is maintained distributedly and nonuniformly. This leads to difficulty in crossover searching for museum information. The LODAC (Linked Open Data for ACademia) project is building a prototype system (LODAC-Museum) to aggregate information across multiple sources.
