World War 1 as Linked Open Data

The WW1LOD dataset is primarily a reference dataset meant to bind together collections dealing with the First World War. For this purpose, the dataset gathers events, places and agents related to the war from various authoritative sources. These are then made available for indexing and other use through a variety of interfaces and APIs. Additional information on the entities is also collected, in order to be able to answer more complex questions relating to them. The approach is being evaluated using a concrete WW1 online collection.
