This paper presents the Linked Digital Collection “Rainis and Aspazija” that demonstrates the use of Linked Data in Digital Humanities. This collection offers interlinked digital objects and data from several memory institutions and private repositories related to two Latvian poets of the period of National Awakening – Rainis and Aspazija. The paper also describes the semantic annotation tool developed for cultural heritage needs that was used to create annotations in this collection. Digital object annotations are the source of links between collection’s digital objects and the entities mentioned in these annotations. Information about collection’s objects and entities is published as Linked Open Data facilitating reuse of this information.
