The ALIADA project is developing a tool that will allow libraries, archives and museums to automatically publish and link the content they host. 

The treasures of Europe’s rich history are carefully documented and stored in our many libraries, archives and museums.

Museums and libraries often have their own data codification and representation methods which means that the information may not accessible to web search engines and to other institutions.
