IOS Press World War 1 as Linked Open Data

Abstract. The WW1LOD dataset is primarily a reference dataset meant to link collections dealing with the First World War. For this purpose, the dataset gathers events, places, and agents related to the war from various authoritative sources. Additional information on the entities is also recorded, in order to be able to answer more complex questions relating to them. The approach is being evaluated using an existing WW1 online collection. In addition, discussions are ongoing with several other organizations about making use of the dataset
