  • Abstract Cultural heritage institutions such as archives, libraries, and museums have the mission of curating and safeguarding societal memories. The patrimonialization and curatorial processes developed by such institutions are continuous value-adding activities. Such institutions are beginning to publish their collections as digital objects on the Web. The representation and publication of cultural heritage records as digital objects using LOD—linked open data—technologies is a new step in patrimonialization and curatorial practices. Many collections are thematically superimposed, complementary, and have synergy. These collections often present culturally relevant relationships between their objects, like a book about a painting or a draft or sketch of a famous painting, etc. This research aims at characterizing such culturally relevant relationships, compiling an inventory, and organizing them in a vocabulary. The implementation of semantic links using LOD technologies can achieve interoperability between digital collections and improve the usability of digital collections, thus empowering heritage institutions.
