NFDI4Culture Metadata API
Metadata of all resources as Linked Open Data
The NFDI4Culture portal offers all content as Linked Open Data over this RESTful API. The API implements the Hydra-Specification of the W3C Hydra Community Group. The semantic description of this API can be retrieved by clients via the Hydra documentation file (JSON). Each metadata record offered via this API can also be retrieved in one of following machine-readable LOD serializations. The API is the basis for the Culture Research Information Graph, which together with the Culture Research Data Graph forms the Culture Knowledge Graph (for more details see this presentation).

The recommendation for FAIR vocabularies and authority data for cultural heritage (GLAM) institutions and collections is now in German language available online:
Frech, A., Gerber, A., Gnyp, A., Götsch, S., von Hagel, F., Kailus, A., Reichert, R., Schäfer, D., & Schlösser, M. (2025). FAIRe Vokabulare und Normdaten für Museen und Sammlungen (v. 1.0), available on Zenodo.
The text refers directly to the FAIR principle for interoperability I2: '(Meta)data use vocabularies that follow the FAIR principles', and provides an essential starting point for implementation. The most relevant vocabularies for the documentation of cultural heritage objects are presented. Each entry includes an extensive description of the vocabulary, its technical implementation status and a rating according to the degree of FAIRness based on a traffic light system.
This recommendation was a collaborative effort that was also developed within the framework of NFDI4Culture.
