Linked Open Data (LOD) is a combination of linked and open data that is sharable, extensible, and easily re-usable. It is a type of structured information which is available to users of Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM) in Nigeria. However, not many GLAM institutions in Nigeria have applied LOD in their services delivery to their users.
The paper reviewed the application of LOD in GLAM in Nigeria, and reported that some benefits may be ensued in its use in services delivery which includes: creation of artificial intelligence models; scheming new tools to support machine learning; and combination of many different types of data; The paper also identified some major threats to the application of LOD in GLAM institutions in Nigeria which may include but not limited to the followings: cost, technology, infrastructural facilities, obsolete and incompleteness of data, skilled manpower etc.
The paper concluded that, the application of LOD in GLAM in Nigeria will promotes the accessibility of data, improved efficiency and effectiveness, foster innovation thereby inproving services delivery in GLAM institutions in Nigeria. A recommendation was provided that, all GLAM or heritage institutions in Nigeria should use and incorporate Linked Open Data in service delivery to their users.
