Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)

Abstract

Linked open data (LOD) is used extensively in the cultural heritage (CH) field by providing an unprecedented level of access to information, and enabling the development of applications used to explore and identify the relationships between artefacts, places, and people, as well as to trace their origins by integrating data from different sources. In this paper, we present Multivocal Exhibition, a LOD-based application that lets users explore how one concept is symbolically expressed by different cultural contexts through a 3D exhibition of artefacts.
