Successful implementation of a FRBRoo-based data model

Effective linking of datasets from three French institutions

Prototypes demonstrating improved data exploration and usability

Abstract

DOREMUS works on a better description of music by building new tools to link and explore the data of three French institutions. This paper gives an overview of the data model based on FRBRoo, explains the conversion and linking processes using linked data technologies and presents the prototypes created to consume the data according to the web users' needs.
