In chapter 3 of Library Technology Reports (vol. 49, no. 5) “Library Linked Data: Research and Adoption” we explore three current LOD-aware services that focus on serving cultural heritage and memory communities: the Europeana digital library, museum, and archive; the Digital Public Library of America; and the BIBFRAME initiative, guided by Library of Congress. The chapter explores the platforms according to the building block model of chapter 2 and uses a case study approach. The examination of high-level similarities and differences reveals a development path for LODLAM services.
