Abstract
This paper presents the DOLMEN project (Linked Open Data: Museums and Digital Environment), offering to develop a linked open data model that will allow Canadian museums to disseminate the rich and sophisticated content emanating from their various databases and to, in turn, make their cultural and heritage collections more accessible to future generations. The rationale, specific objectives, proposed methodology and expected benefits are briefly presented and explained.
