Livonian Music Heritage Digital Twin Dataset

This dataset is part of the feasibility study “A Feasibility Study With Two Datasets on the Application of the Early Stage HDTO Ontology in Practice”. It demonstrates an early-stage implementation of the Heritage Digital Twin Ontology (HDTO) in the context of the FinFAIR project, which builds on the outcomes of OpenMusE. The dataset explores how musical heritage resources from the Livonian region can be represented as interoperable, rights-aware digital twins—connecting people, places, and performances through linked open data. The RDF dataset integrates concepts from the Europeana Data Model (EDM), CIDOC CRM, and Open Digital Rights Language (ODRL) within a Wikibase-compatible structure. Next planned releases in a short time: - a “trusty” version, which focuses on stable, verifiable entity references for persistent identifiers and reproducible serialization.- a fully harmonized HDTO–CIDOC mapped version will follow in subsequent releases. This demo dataset provides an initial framework for representing multimodal cultural heritage (music, architecture, fieldwork archives) as linked, FAIR, and reusable digital assets within the European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage (ECCCH).
