LOAD – Linked Open Antipodal DataA brief overview of the Linked Data activities in the

German National Library

Lars G. Svensson

When someone searches for information, the first place they visit usually isn‘t the library


The data librarians create could help making search better


There it is!

WOW!

The data is a by-product of our collection mandate


[…] entrusted with the task of collecting, permanently archiving, bibliographically classifying and making available to the general public all German and German-language publications from 1913, foreign publications about Germany, translations of German works, and the works of German-speaking emigrants published abroad between 1933 and 1945.[…]

The immediate output of the daily work is title data

The title data is supported by authority data from the GND

Increasingly, we make digital full texts available


We began with Linked Data in 2010 in order to reach out to non-library communities


Let‘s see: Who is out

there?

1806 fiel Frankfurt unter die Herrschaft des Fürstprimas Karl Theodor von Dalberg, der es mit seinen Fürstentümern Regensburg und Aschaffenburg zu einem selbständigen Staat innerhalb des Rheinbunds vereinigte.

Many other European libraries and CH portals are active with Linked Data, too


The Swedish National Library deserves a honourable mention
