Building for a Linked Data Future


The impact of Linked Data will be greater

than the World Wide Web it builds upon.


Our aim is to accumulate digitised content, standardise the data that describes it, apply linked data techniques to enrich it and promote persistent identifiers to locate it in the long-term.
