Audrey Watters explored the 
Civil War Data 150 project in her recent post in the leading technology blog, ReadWriteWeb. She touched on the technical and cultural importance and potential of utilizing Linked Open Data in libraries, archives and museums.
She closes her article with this provocative statement, “If part of the purpose of LookBackMaps is to help find the connections between places and photographs, the Civil War Data 150 Project has a far grander goal about location, history, and our cultural heritage – one that demonstrates a failure of imagination in those that think that the ‘location’ battle has been won by any Internet company.“
