Introduction to the AAT

revised May 2019 For educational purposes

The AAT, TGN, and ULAN are now available as LOD They are published under the Open Data Commons Attribution License (ODC-By) 1.0• When data is linked and open, it

means that data is stru

ctured and published according

to the principles of Linked Data, so t

hat it can be both interlinked and made openly

accessible and shareable on the Semantic Web.

The goal of linked open data is to allow

data from different resource

s to be interconnected and queried.

• In order for data to be understood and process

ed automatically by computers, data in

records or about resources must be expre

ssed in a standard format. Each thing (for

example, a museum object, a place, or a

person) must be repres

ented by a persistent

identifier (known as a Uniform Resource

Identifier (URI)). A Resource Description

Framework (RDF) is a language or format fo

r describing things as well as the

relationships between things as simple proper

ties and values (known as 'triples'), while

things are represented using URIs.
