[OHM] Linked Data

[Rob H Warren]

Albin,

owl:sameAs would allow us to link the object in OHM space to other databases, such as DB/Wikipedia/WikiData: 

Linking the OHM version of say http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_aqueduct

Or linking the ww1 trenches within OHM to their Muninn equivalent.

Or linking greek structures with their  pelagios equivalent http://pelagios-project.blogspot.ca/

Or linking modern administrative locations with their geonames,org location.

Since a LOD version of OHM will be positioned to be the equivalent to dbpedia in historical GIS terms, the use of owl:sameAs would enable people to discover non-OHM resources since it is the most obvious LOD data set to link to.
