On Friday 22 May, OCLC will be holding an event based around the theme of the ‘Creating Library Impact Through New Forms of Engagement’ report, looking at how new technologies now enable us to re-envision, expose and share library data as entities (works, people, places, etc.) and what this means.
You are invited to join Richard Wallis, Technology Evangelist, OCLC; Dr. Mathieu D’Aquin, Research Fellow at the Knowledge Media Institute, Open University; Neil Jefferies, Head of R&D at the Bodleian Digital Library, University of Oxford; Owen Stephens from Owen Stephens Consulting; and Ken Chad, an independent consultant, to find out how entity-based descriptions of library data – powered by linked data – will create new approaches to cataloguing, resource sharing and discovery.
