Establishing interoperability of a blog archive through linked open data

Abstract

The digital cultural heritage is partly preserved through web archiving activities. The BlogForever platform is a web archiving platform that aims specifically at the preservation of the blogosphere. The focus enables exploitation of the blog structure for sophisticated access capabilities on archived data. However, interoperability among BlogForever archives, as well as with other digital libraries, is necessary in order to avoid silos of data. In this paper, we reveal some of our efforts to establish interoperability through the application of Linked Open Data.
