Any pointers?
Maybe
http://www.ksamsok.se/in-english/ , but I know more about
http://data.nationallibrary.fi/bib/sparql and related.
Maybe one of the
locals has more information.
The link to k-samsök is excellent and should provide you with
necessary information. Remember that linked open data doesn't equal
SPARQL endpoints.
Sure, but SPARQL is the de facto standard these days for making linked
open data accessible. If you already went through the trouble of making
URI's, RDF, etc. you might as well throw it all into a SPARQL endpoint
to unlock all the federation magic. I'm sure some (most!) API's are much
better than SPARQL, but with SPARQL I only need to figure out the data
model, with an API I also need to figure out what the calls are, get
some stupid key, etc.
Seeing the started in 2009 they are probably subject to the "Wet van de
remmende voorsprong" (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_the_handicap_of_a_head_start ). For
organizations starting now they just to do some data wrangling with
something like Poolparty or Lodview and they can do all the pretty
stuff. Back in 2009, that wasn't available yet.
Do you have some kind of system in place to keep Sweden in sync? Or
should I ask Alicia and André?
