    Linked Data is a set of best practices for publishing and connecting structured data on the Web. Alma implements a RESTful API that exposes linked data in JSON-LD format. For information about configuring a linked data integration profile, see below.
    This API works on production and sandbox environments.

    6. On page 2 of the wizard, configure the following fields as required:
      • Active - Select to enable the profile.
      • Alternative Context URL – Leave empty to use the default context, cname.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/[format]/[works_or_instances]/[MMSID].

The @context field of the JSON-LD will refer to this context object.
