Cultural gems linked open data: Mapping culture and intangible heritage in European cities

The recovery and resilience of the cultural and creative sec- tors after the COVID-19 pandemic is a current topic with pri- ority for the European Commission. Cultural gems is a crowd- sourced web platform managed by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission aimed at creating community- led maps as well as a common repository for cultural and creative places across European cities and towns. More than 130,0 0 0 physical locations and online cultural activities in more than 300 European cities and towns are currently tracked by the application. The main objective of Cultural gems consists in raising a holistic vision of European culture, reinforcing a sense of belonging to a common European cultural space. This data article describes the ontology developed for Cultural gems , adopted to represent the domain of knowledge of the application by means of FAIR ( Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles and following the paradigms of Linked Open Data (LOD). We provide an overview of this dataset, and describe the ontology model, along with the services used to access and consume the data.
