This document discusses linking open cultural data from various Japanese sources to create a linked open data cloud for cultural heritage metadata. It proposes a 4-star classification scheme for open licensing of linked cultural data and describes some initial data sources being connected, including collections from 15 museums and databases of Japanese art, cultural properties, and location information. The goal is to eventually link data from 100 museums to improve discovery, access, and use of cultural heritage assets through open data.
