ABSTRACT={The project nomisma.org was initiated by the American Numismatic Society in 2010. The original aim was to
facilitate the online presentation of numismatic concepts employing the methods of the Semantic Web and Linked Open
Data. In this way nomisma.org laid the foundation for the machine-based exchange of data between systems.
Projects that employ the concepts of nomisma.org, such as OCRE and CRRO, can now be used by both coin cabinets
and inventories of archaeological coin finds in order to exchange data, as well as to publish them online. This paper
consists of two parts; in the first part the emphasis is placed on the one hand on a practical illustration of how the data are
linked by nomisma.org in order to show just what is possible at present. But it will also explain how this is achieved and
present the underlying ontology. The experience of nomisma.org provides useful lessons that can be applied productively
to other archaeological material. The second part is devoted to recent developments in Greek numismatics and the
underlying data structure.}}
