The Application of Linked Data in Shanghai Library’s Service of Genealogy Digital Humanities

Abstract

Abstract:

Digital Humanities (DH) is the future development direction of modern library. Cloud computing, big data, Semantic Web technologies provide very good methods for content analysis and knowledge organization based on logical relation among the digital resources on a large scale and multi species. In turn, the library could provide accurate service regarding content and knowledge by mining hidden knowledge, while saving manpower and time in organizing resources and promoting the use of resources. Linked Data is a mature technology to realize Semantic Web. Shanghai Library takes genealogy resources as an example and a starting point to practice Digital Humanities by means of knowledge reorganization and provides knowledge discovery service based on Linked Data technologies. This paper expounds the method and process of implementation, and demonstrates how Linked Data can be used in Digital Humanities through the case of “Shangchuan Ming Jing Hu Migration Map”.

Key words: Digital Humanities, Linked Data, Genealogy, Knowledge service
