A reproducible framework to publish and reuse Collections as data: the case of the European Literary Bibliography

GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) institutions host rich content that is provided in the form of digital collections. Especially,  bibliographic databases are collections of references focused on a particular topic that can be used to apply Digital Humanities (DH) methods. Recent approaches such as Collections as data and Labs promotes the publication of digital collections supporting computational use.

The purpose of this work is to provide a framework for publishing and reusing digital collections based on literary bibliographies published by GLAM institutions in order to make them suitable for computational use in the form of collections as data, the European Literary Bibliography in particular. It also describes the infrastructure used and DH research scenarios to illustrate how the results can be reused for different goals. The intended audience of this work is digital curators and DH researchers interested in making available their datasets as Collections as data.
