| Abstract |
Digital history is a branch of digital humanities concerned using ICT to improve study of history. Linked Data provides a way of e ffective enriched digital access to scienti c texts about history (historiographies). I will present a method for connecting a historiographical text to the Linked Data cloud. I will present the method and tools We focus on one extensive case study: the enriched access of an important work of Dutch World War II historiography \Het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden in de Tweede Wereldoorlog". We describe the digitization and present two sources of structured knowledge that link to individual text sources, retrievable on the Web of Data. The rst is the manually constructed and highly curated "Back of the Book Index". The second is a list of extracted Named Entities. We present a number of use cases relevant for both historical researchers as well as for the general public.
