Linked Open Datasets on Traditional Livonian Clothing
Year: 2025
Type: report
Abstract: This dataset presents Linked Open Data on traditional Livonian clothing, compiled within the Finno-Ugric Data Sharing Space (FUDSS) project. It integrates digitized museum objects, ethnographic descriptions, and visual documentation from Latvian, Estonian, and Finnish collections, focusing on garments and accessories from Livonian communities of Northern Kurzeme. Metadata is structured using Wikibase and aligned with the Getty Art & Architecture Thesaurus and CIDOC CRM, enabling multilingual annotation and semantic linking. The dataset supports comparative research in Finno-Ugric material culture, dress history, and cultural heritage studies, while providing a framework for community-based enrichment and digital preservation of endangered cultural traditions.
