Abstract

The 2nd edition of the International Workshop on Archives and Linked Data ran in conjunction with the 26th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries (TPDL 2022). TPDL 2022 was an in-person event in Padua with an online-only registration for non-speakers. Archives, the guardians of large volumes of historical and current information, are showing a growing interest in linked data and semantic web technologies. These technologies can be used to link archives' information with data from other cultural heritage institutions and more informal sources. In a world of linked data, users can access richer interfaces where the archival records are available in their context, with explicit metadata. The workshop gathered about 20 researchers and specialists engaged in initiatives crossing linked data technologies, archives, and cultural heritage in general, discussing advances and challenges in this area. The workshop was a successful event, with active participation in the discussions that followed the presentations. The participants found the workshop interesting (40%) or extremely interesting (60%), and everyone who answered a post-workshop survey would be interested in another edition of the workshop. Date: 20 September, 2022. Website: https://linkedarchives.inesctec.pt/.
