Linked Open Data Framework for Serendipity in History of Art Research

In this paper we outline the main lines of research for defining a framework based on Linked Open Data (LOD) for supporting knowledge creation in the Cultural Heritage (CH) field with a particular focus on History of Art research. We delineate the main challenges we need to deal with and we explore the state-of-the-art in LOD publishing systems, LOD citation and authority management. Furthermore, we introduce the idea of computer-aided serendipity in History of Art research with the purpose of contributing to the advancement of the field and to the definition of new methodologies for entity linking and retrieval.
