Over the past six years, Getty has been engaged in a project to transform and unify its complex digital infrastructure for cultural heritage information. One of the project’s core goals was to provide validation of the impact and value of the use of linked data throughout this process. With museum, archival, media, and vocabularies in production and others underway, this sessions shares some of the practical implications (and pitfalls) of this work—particularly as it relates to interoperability, discovery, staffing, stakeholder engagement, and complexity management. The session will also share examples of how other organizations can streamline their own, similar work going forward.
