Cultural institutions have the crucial goal of storing, managing and disseminating knowledgeabout our culture to a worldwide audience of people. Museums, libraries, archives and othervendors of cultural heritage information are currently in the process of exposing their data asLinked Open Data (LOD) to encourage reuse of this information in semantic aware serviceswhich utilize the synergy that can be achieved when combining and integrating complimentaryinformation resources. Linked Open Data is based on the the standards and formatsthat have been developed for the Semantic Web, but even though we have the technologicalframework, there are many challenges that must be solved to achieve true automatic integrationand interoperability between a potent ially very large number of loosely connectedinformation sources.The main objective of this project is to support the process of integration and alignmentof heterogeneous, but related information sources within the area of cultural heritage. Thisprojec t aims at proposing a novel communication protocol to support the process of semanticmappings in order to ease the interconnection between a large number of semantic dataproviders. The performance of this protocol will be evaluated and will be compared. The project includes partners from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and University of Lyon 1.
