Webpage of The American Art Collaborative (AAC), a consortium of 14 museums in the U.S. committed to establishing a critical mass of LOD on the subject of American Art.

Infodocket Library Journal, published last February this article about the application of Linked Data in American museums: "The Smithsonian American Art Museum announced today the creation of The American Art Collaborative (AAC), a consortium of 14 American museums committed to building the next generation of digital searches and scholarly advancement. Members of the Collaborative are meeting in Washington, D.C., this week to move from planning to implementation of their Linked Open Data Initiative, which seeks to expand the possibilities inherent in linking museum collections through Linked Open Data (LOD)."

LODStories is an engaging application where people learn about art while constructing multimedia stories about art. LODStories mines the Linked Open Data cloud to discover interesting connections between artworks, artists, places and ideas. LODStories guides users to construct a storyboard that connects the entities in an interesting way. It then fetches text, images and videos that users can arrange to create a multimedia story, and finally constructs a narrated video that users can edit and then publish to tell their story. The process is fun, and students learn about art and its connection to the world they live in. The paper describes the architecture of the system and the algorithms to make the exploration entertaining and educational.        

Este artículo describe el proceso seguido y los problemas afrontados en la publicación de los datos del museo Smithsonian American Art Museum en la nube de datos.

Project wiki-space for the Linked Data for Libraries (LD4L) project. The project is a collaboration of the Cornell University Library, the Harvard Library Innovation Lab, and the Stanford University Libraries, and is funded by a nearly $1 million two-year grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

The goal of the project is to create a Scholarly Resource Semantic Information Store (SRSIS) model that works both within individual institutions and through a coordinated, extensible network of Linked Open Data to capture the intellectual value that librarians and other domain experts and scholars add to information resources when they describe, annotate, organize, select, and use those resources, together with the social value evident from patterns of usage.

FindMyCarrots (FmC) has partnered with TrustYou to provide semantic analysis for hotel queries in India. With TrustYou’s robust database and advanced semantic analysis of millions of reviews, including categories like hotel type, bed size, bathroom cleanliness, food, bar, location, amenities, and more, users can now search and filter hotels based on specific criterion. For example, a user could search for “family friendly hotels in Mumbai with delicious seafood and clean bathrooms.”

La Fundación Lázaro Galdiano ha creado, en colaboración con la empresa GNOSS, una web semántica que integra un buscador facetado para la Colección del Museo Lázaro Galdiano.

El proyecto ha tenido como objetivo estructurar y representar semánticamente las obras de la colección de arte de la Fundación, de acuerdo con los principios de Linked Open Data, y valorizarlos para su uso educativo aprovechando las ventajas de las tecnologías semánticas de la plataforma GNOSS.

La aplicación de la tecnología semántica ha hecho posible desarrollar un espacio digital con una selección de casi 6000 obras de más de 800 autores que integra búsquedas facetadas, generación de contextos educativos y culturales sobre las obras buscadas y sistemas de recomendación.
