Linked data, open formats, shared vocabularies, and the semantic web enhance the utility of Swedish archaeological and paleoecological data in national and international research as well as for cross-cultural comparative research.
Linking cultural heritage data and publishing it openly allows for diverse types of re-use and research. Linked open data refers to interconnecting data and datasets in a way that is not only readable by humans, but also computers. If metadata and data are published openly, they can be connected and enriched by others. One of the major advantages of linked open data is that it becomes searchable and enables queries.
