Abstract

Currently, collections of heritage objects are being published on the web as linked open data. A Curatorial work adds value by providing an interpretation of such sets of objects, relating heritage digital objects to each other and to other digital resources, contextualizing them, classifying them by typology, and providing commentary. As such a Curatorial work is authorial. A proposed model of curatorship for heritage digital objects is presented, with the goal of making the curatorial work on archives, libraries, and museum collections into digital, permanent, authorial, and reusable resources. The cultural and educational value of curatorial work would increase if it could be reused, like a printed exhibition catalogue. It is also proposed the implementation of such a model using LOD and named graph technologies.
