Linking Lives explored ways to present Linked Data. We aimed to show that archives can benefit from being presented as a part of the diverse data sources on the Web to create full biographical pictures, enabling researchers to make connections between people and events.
Linking Lives built upon the Locah project. Locah was a JISC-funded project to expose the Archives Hub descriptions as Linked Data.
Archives Hub Linked Data now available at http://data.archiveshub.ac.uk/
