GOLD (GoGeo as Linked Data) is a short project funded by JISC under the auspices of Discovery. The purpose of GOLD is to expose the GoGeo Catalogue and the Scottish Government Spatial Discovery Portal CSW content as a Linked Data triple store, to improve the discoverability of metadata records and increase the catalogue’s openness. A range of technical approaches will be reviewed (schema cross-walking, production direct from relational databases and an UML to RDF approach), and open-source software produced.
As well as the Linked Data version of the above catalogues, GOLD will deliver a report detailing the technical investigations and alternate methods of producing the linked data store.
