You are invited to another in UCL’s series of events addressing new
topics and developments in publishing, library and information.
Discovery and Discoverability will focus on innovations in how
publications and collections are being enhanced for discovery, how they
are exposed to search engines and discovery tools and disseminated
through social media. It will present both the latest technologies and
case studies from different sectors as to how users go about their
searching.
The keynote will be presented by Richard Wallis, a well known figure and
speaker in the information world and who is now working as the global
lead in the bibliographic implementation of schema.org. As Chair of the
W3C Schema Bib Extend working group and as an insider in Google, Richard
is well placed to discuss the state of play and potential for the
emerging standard.
This seminar will bring together specialists in providing and supporting
discovery engines, experiences from libraries and publishers innovations
in delivering content. Delegates will hear more about discovery systems,
how new tools are being deployed and used and how to make their content
more findable. There will be input from libraries and organisations in
the public and private sectors. Presentations will also come from Tom
Hatton CEO and Co-Founder of innovative company <http://refme.com/>
