Background
Within the framework of the study on the ESS Linked Open Data requirements, a proposal for an ESS Linked Open Data framework was developed. This proposal was presented at the 2017 joint plenary meeting of the ESS Directors of Methodology (DIME) and the ESS IT Directors Group (ITDG).
Based on the proposal, and subsequent experiences from working on Linked Open Data in the ESS, a proposal for an ESS Linked Open Data strategy and roadmap was elaborated. This updated proposal was adopted by the 2019 joint plenary meeting of the DIME and the ITDG.
