Case Study: a major government agency improves library access and data curation with Ontotext and metaphacts

a major government agency unifies 1.7 million library resources with Ontotext

A major government agency faced challenges with its fragmented library systems, where data and resources were locked in silos across numerous digital and physical archives. This hindered both data curation and public discovery. Partnering with Ontotext and metaphacts, the agency implemented a knowledge graph solution using Ontotext's GraphDB RDF database and the metaphactory platform to unify and interlink all their disparate data.

The solution integrated metadata into a centralized knowledge graph, providing data curators with a single interface for management and quality control, which saved time and reduced errors. For the public, a new visitor interface enabled seamless search and exploration across all libraries. Ontotext's and metaphacts' work standardized data processes, enabled faster service delivery, and set the stage for improved user engagement and search engine visibility through structured data publishing.
