HKCAN Linked Data Service

About HKCAN Linked Data Service

JULAC HKCAN dataset is now available as linked open data. It can be accessed via the SPARQL query endpoint at http://hkcan.julac.org/lod/sparql. The triplestore currently contains 324,019 named graphs, 21,257,115 triples.
HKCAN MARC records from JULAC Alma Network Zone are transformed to MADSRDF and SKOS RDFs and injected to the triplestore as named graphs, with URI in the form of hkcan:<hkcan_id>.
HKCAN URI is de-referenced to an authority description page, from which users have the options to download the authority record in MARCXML, MADSRDF and SKOS/RDF formats.
Users can also search names via the Search Form.
Example of visualizing names in hkcan:9811105235303406.
