The Royal Library
From printed books to a Knowledge Graph
Denmark's Royal Library partnered with AtomGraph to digitize thousands of historic publications and transform them into a modern, structured, and searchable online knowledge base
The Problem
The Danish Newspapers was a curated registry of publications with factual metadata, maintained by The Royal Library. The team needed a modern digital edition that could both preserve the legacy records and allow for rich, structured content updates.
Our Approach
We designed and implemented the transition from printed books to TEI XML and then to RDF data.
LinkedDataHub was deployed to publish Linked Data as well as user-friendly and mobile-ready XHTML.
Customer Benefits
Having an easy-to-use online solution for editing and exchanging structure data, The Royal Library gained:
- Search-engine visibility
- Interoperable bibliographic metadata
- Highly-interlinked archive registry
By publishing structured metadata online, The Royal Library dramatically increased the visibility and discoverability of The Danish Newspapers collection. It also enabled an unlimited exchange of structured library data that is based on W3C standards and forward-compatible with bibliographic vocabularies such as BIBFRAME.
