A new but still "pre-published" version of the Linked Archival Metadata: A Guidebook is available. From the introduction:
The purpose of this guidebook is to describe in detail what
linked data is, why it is important, how you can publish it to
the Web, how you can take advantage of your linked data, and how
you can exploit the linked data of others. For the archivist,
linked data is about universally making accessible and
repurposing sets of facts about you and your collections. As you
publish these fact you will be able to maintain a more flexible
Web presence as well as a Web presence that is richer, more
complete, and better integrated with complementary collections.
