This talk provides an overview of principles and methods of Linked Open Data (LOD) and discusses advantages as well as challenges of adopting a Linked Data approach to cultural data. Topics include the potential for applying LOD technology to cultural heritage data and LOD's practical uses for integrating, sharing, and reusing heterogeneous data from multiple sources. The development of Linked Jazz, an LOD project centered on jazz history digital archives, is only one of several real-world scenarios provided to ground the discussion.
