The main goal of TextileBase is to help dress history scholars and practitioners by creating a gateway to linked data that have been collected and stored by researchers and memory institutions. In that way it is a platform to collect, connect, and share meta- and research data on material, visual, and textual sources of historical clothing. We explain TextileBase as a linked, open, graph database in a different report. In this review we show how we placed a valuable, stand-alone dataset into this interoperable database.

The first published dataset, Linked Open Datasets on Garments from the Latgale Region contains data on Latvian traditional shirts and skirts from the Latgale region in Eastern Latvia.
