Abstract:
FranceArchives is an online aggregator portal designed to provide a single access point to metadata of about 140 French archival institutions. Based on CubicWeb, an open source software, it allows archivists to import archival metadata, publish articles, etc. Researchers, students, genealogy enthusiasts can search above 21 millions of documents. The authorities (people, institutions, places, themes) indexed in the archives are semi-automatically aligned with linked open data repositories (geonames, wikidata, data.culture.fr). This allows disambiguation and cross-referencing of archival data from different sources. The portal information on the authorities is enriched thanks to these alignments. To integrate FranceArchives into the linked open data cloud, the data is also published in RDF, described in the Records In Contexts ontology (RiC-O). Records in Contexts is a new standard promoted by the International Council on Archives to reconcile the current four standards of description. FranceArchives is one of the first projects to use this standard at such a large scale with success. It is also one of the first archival data repository of this size published as linked open data. A SPARQL endpoint is currently being set up to make the data queryable.
