The Europeana linked open data pilot server

The Linked Data is a set of principles and technologies providing a publishing para- digm for sharing and reusing RDF data on the Web. The Linked Data Cloud is expanding at a very high speed since 2007, when the Linked Data Project was launched. Europeana, the European Digital Library, subscribes to the view of a web of data, and the distribution of cultural heritage data is one of the main objectives established by the Europeana Strategic Plan. The paper illus- trates how Europeana publishes Linked Data, with focus on the technological approach adopted.
