Knowledge = Information in Context

Europeana White Paper No. 1: Knowledge = Information in Context

Europeana's first White Paper looks at the key role linked data
will play in Europeana's development and in helping Europe's
citizens make connections between existing knowledge to achieve
new cultural and scientific developments. Without linked data,
Europeana could be seen as a simple collection of digital objects.
With linked data, the potential is far greater,
as the author of the white paper, Prof. Stefan Gradmann, explains.
