Re: Cultural heritage domain (Museums and collections)

As Hugh says, it's a hot topic at the moment.  If you're in London,
there's a meetup on December 16
(http://museum-api.pbworks.com/w/page/33068521/Linking-Museums-III:-%27people%27-records),
looking specifically at biography records in this case.  It's part of
an on-going series of meetups and conversations for museum
technologists and developers who want to consume museum metadata -
some overviews of current thinking and proposals are at
http://museum-api.pbworks.com/

Mostly those conversations are about catalogue and interpretative data
rather than museums-as-organisations but people there might know of
related work.  There's also a linked data group on the museum 3.0 ning
(http://museum3.org/group/linkeddata)

cheers, Mia
