Abstract
By interlinking internal Linked Data (LD) entities to related LD entities published by authoritative creators and holders of data, libraries have the potential to expose their collections to a larger audience and to allow for richer user searches. While increasing numbers libraries are devoting time to publishing LD, the full potential of these datasets has not been explored due to limited LD interlinking. In 2018 we conducted a survey which explored the position of Information Professionals (IPs), such as librarians, archivists and cataloguers, with regards to LD. Results indicated that IPs find the process of data interlinking to be a particularly challenging step in the creation of Five Star LD. Consequently, we developed NAISC, an interlinking approach designed specifically for the library domain aimed at facilitating increased IP engagement in the LD interlinking process. Our paper provides an overview of the design and user-evaluation of NAISC. Results indicated that IPs found NAISC easy-to-use and useful for creating LD interlinks.
