The article proposes a fictional case to exemplify the use of linked open data technologies as a mechanism of interoperability between collections in libraries, archives and museums using Brazilian author Machado de Assis and his works as an example. The method used was a restricted, illustrative and non-exhaustive case study. Several vocabularies were used to interconnect the data and to represent these connections in Resource Description Framework format. It was concluded that it is possible to integrate data using Linked Data principles, and suggests that information professionals take advantage of this potential, discovering new applications of these technologies to amplify the interoperability between data available on the Web.
