The cultural heritage sector has traditionally been concerned with sharing resources and furthering human knowledge, with particular interest to the issues associated with metadata and interoperability, especially when it comes to the use of technology. These goals and interests in the cultural heritage sector are natural alignments with those of linked data; hence. there has been an increasing interest in the application of linked data in this sector. This article studies the implementation of linked data in the cultural heritage sector, through a systematic literature review of case studies of linked data implementation projects in this sector. The results reflect on the parties involved, the level of collaboration, and the motivation behind these projects. The study suggests that universities and national institutions were the main players in implementing such technologies in the cultural heritage sector, suggesting that there may be some barriers preventing smaller GLAM institutions from implementing linked data projects. The results further suggest that many linked data projects in this sector were primarily exploratory projects, and often performed in a collaborative manner. They further indicate that the most common motivating factors behind these projects were research needs, a desire to contribute to linked data as a movement, and other specific user needs. Reflecting on this systematic literature review, this article makes a set of recommendations for future work to increase the use of linked data in the cultural heritage sector and to remove barriers to adoption.

关联数据与文化遗产

文化遗产部门历来关注共享资源和增进人类知识，特别关注与元数据和互操作性相关的问题，尤其是在技术使用方面。文化遗产部门的这些目标和利益与关联数据的目标和利益自然一致；因此。人们对在该部门应用关联数据的兴趣日益浓厚。本文通过对该部门关联数据实施项目的案例研究的系统文献回顾，研究了关联数据在文化遗产部门的实施。结果反映了相关各方、合作水平以及这些项目背后的动机。该研究表明，大学和国家机构是在文化遗产部门实施此类技术的主要参与者，这表明可能存在一些阻碍较小的 GLAM 机构实施关联数据项目的障碍。结果进一步表明，该部门的许多关联数据项目主要是探索性项目，并且通常以协作方式进行。他们进一步指出，这些项目背后最常见的激励因素是研究需求、将关联数据作为一种运动做出贡献的愿望以及其他特定的用户需求。回顾这一系统的文献综述，本文为未来的工作提出了一系列建议，以增加对文化遗产部门关联数据的使用并消除采用的障碍。
