“…In 2014, Brown et al [126] referred to the Listening Experience Database (LED), a project that gathered documented evidence of listening to music across cultural and historical contexts. Lopes et al described the process of creating Linked Logainm, where XML data were transformed to RDF, by linking these data to external geographic data sets like DBpedia and the Faceted Application of Subject Terminology.…”

The Semantic Web in general and the Linked Open Data Initiative, in particular, are a growing movement for organisations to make their existing data available in a machine-readable format. Thus, institutions are highly encouraged to publish, share and interlink their data publicly. The more data are opened on the Web (Open Data), the more integrated sets of data will be connected in the Semantic Web (Linked Open Data). Within this context, libraries can complement their data by linking it to other, external data sources. The purpose of this article is to identify papers that refer to linked data in libraries, emphasising the ways that linked data empower libraries to put their knowledge in the context of the open-world, thus enhancing semantic technology innovations. The study considered papers published between 2008 and 2019 in English and presents the collected literature by grouping it according to the topic each paper refers to. The results show that libraries are facing a period of continuing change which present several challenges and indicate that they are moving towards developing new practices, policies and services.

“…Over eighteen months since being introduced to the digital library community [10], the dataset has grown tenfold and new features have been added to both the dataset and the portal: these include support for data from MusicBrainz and data.gov.uk, interactive geographical browsing, a convention for representing vague temporal data and named entity recognition for arbitrary location text.…”

“…Data reuse in LED is a conscious process, in that it only occurs if the contributor intentionally selects the entity to be referenced as the listening experience record is created [10]. In order to tackle homonymy issues and guarantee the coexistence of multiple entities with the same name, the strategy is to generate an entirely new URI for any entity for which the user inputs data but does not reuse an existing entity as a subject.…”

“…To deal with the event that users may overlook the data reuse capabilities of the system, thus generating redundant URIs for the same entity, a data reconciliation feature was introduced after the database reached a critical mass of 500 records. Through this functionality it is possible to select any number of similarly named entities of the same category, designate the one whose identifying URI is to be preserved (the primary entity) and decide whether the data entered for the entities to be aligned (secondary entities) should be merged with those of the primary one or discarded altogether [10].…”

Crowdsourcing Linked Data on listening experiences through reuse and enhancement of library data

Research has approached the practice of musical reception in a multitude of ways, such as the analysis of professional critique, sales figures and psychological processes activated by the act of listening. Studies in the Humanities, on the other hand, have been hindered by the lack of structured evidence of actual experiences of listening as reported by the listeners themselves, a concern that was voiced since the early Web era. It was however assumed that such evidence existed, albeit in pure textual form, but could not be leveraged until it was digitised and aggregated. The Listening Experience Database (LED) responds to this research need by providing a centralised hub for evidence of listening in the literature. Not only does LED support search and reuse across nearly 10,000 records, but it also provides machine-readable structured data of the knowledge around the contexts of listening. To take advantage of the mass of formal knowledge that already exists on the Web concerning these contexts, the entire framework adopts Linked Data principles and technologies. This also allows LED to directly reuse open data from the British Library for the source documentation that is already published. Reused data are re-published as open data with enhancements obtained by expanding over the model of the original data, such as the partitioning of published books and collections into individual stand-alone documents. The database was populated through crowdsourcing and seamlessly incorporates data reuse from the very early data entry phases. As the sources of the evidence often contain vague, fragmentary of uncertain information, facilities were put in place to generate structured data out of such fuzziness. Alongside elaborating on these functionalities, this article provides insights into the most recent features of the latest instalment of the dataset and portal, such as the interlinking with the MusicBrainz database, the relaxation of geographical input constraints through text mining, and the plotting of key locations in an interactive geographical browser.
