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. 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 promote the publication of digital collections supporting computational use.

This work aims 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, in particular, in the context of the European Literary Bibliography. It also describes the infrastructure used and DH research scenarios to illustrate how the results can be reused for different goals. Digital curators and DH researchers interested in making their datasets available in the form of Collections as Data are the intended audience of this work.
