Due to the popularity of the OCLC linked data event in May, we have decided to re-run it on 16 October in Edinburgh. This event is based around the themes of the ‘Creating Library Impact through New Forms of Engagement’ report looking at how entity-based descriptions of library data—powered by linked data—will create new approaches to cataloguing, resource sharing and discovery. We will look at how referencing library data as entities, in Web friendly formats, enables data relationships to be rendered useful in many more contexts increasing the relevance of libraries within the wider information ecosystem.
You are invited to join Richard Wallis, Independent Consultant, Evangelist and Founder, Data Liberate; Dr Cathy Dolbear, Senior Link Architect, Oxford University Press; Neil Jefferies, Head of R&D at the Bodleian Digital Library, University of Oxford; Owen Stephens of Owen Stephens Consulting; Gill Hamilton, Digital Access Manager, National Library of Scotland; and Ken Chad of Ken Chad Consulting.
