The recent conceptual model RiC-CM - together with RiC-O, the ontology , let us reflect on the notion of contexts, i.e. the diferent points of view on archival data, all able to add new information layers. We have to deal, traditionally, with at least 3 diferent contexts: the CPF as the creator of archival records; the provenance of the founds, i.e. the connection between the archive and the creator; the position of the archival units within a hierarchy. What we are facing with Linked Open Data is that these 3 contexts are extending their boundaries, and the finding aids have to be rethought, expecially when we want to produce scholarly-oriented tools. In the LOD dimension, a new way for organizing knowledge, we have to focus on some facts: we need to document diferent kind of agents, with diferent roles, functions and involvement in event; we need to understand that the provenance is important also for assertions, i.e. it's related to the idea of authorship of RDF statements, with a source to be declared, a degree of certainty and the expression of a special (even contradictory) point of view; the tree, i.e. the hierarchy, is a data structure unable to solve all the modeling need, that are best represented through a graph data model. These reflections bring a number of considerations on this new way of publishing Archival Data, in an open and linked dimension, i.e. a knowledge graph of (semantically) enhanced archival resources. A couple of examples, one from a structured collection, i.e. the catalogue of the Federico Zeri photo archive, and another from a semi-structured document, i.e. the semantic digital edition of the notebook written by the italian politician and classical philologist Paolo Bufalini, gave us the possibility to face some of these issues, trying to suggest some practices and methods.
