Umbraco with Linked Open Data.

Linked Open Data & Umbraco: a flexible and affordable alternative

A new era for heritage institutions

Many heritage institutions use traditional collection management systems to manage and present their data. But these systems are often complex, expensive and less flexible. That's why we offer a powerful alternative: Umbraco with Linked Open Data.

This solution, developed in collaboration with Netwerk Digitaal Erfgoed en Landschap Erfgoed Utrecht (Verhaal van Utrecht), combines the user-friendliness of Umbraco with the power of Linked Open Data. The result? A flexible and future-proof way to manage collections and make them accessible.

What is Linked Open Data?

Linked Open Data (LOD) makes it possible to link heritage information to other data sources on the web. This ensures:

✔ Better discoverability – Data is easily searchable and usable by third parties.
✔ More context – Links to other collections and sources enrich your data.
✔ Sustainable accessibility – Data remains usable no matter which system you use.
