Dear colleagues, Please see below the LD4 2026 Conference Call for Proposals and share with interested colleagues.
*Call for Proposals*: LD4 2026 Conference - Linked Data in Practice: Building the Future of Knowledge Systems *Conference Dates*: September 28-30, 2026 (online) *Submission deadline*: August 21, 2026 *Submission form*: Link here <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfPf67MmserB2ZxDa0cZXbAuCBJ9yPTXBLmg_8JYS_-LTFrcA/viewform> It’s time to submit a proposal for the LD4 2026 Conference. If you've been thinking about contributing, we’d love to hear from you. The LD4 2026 Conference invites proposals for presentations, lightning talks, and workshops that highlight application of linked data in and its impact on knowledge systems, with focus on galleries, libraries, archives and museums. Possible topics could include: - From pilot to production - the life cycle of a linked data project - Building sustainable and scalable linked data workflows - Strengthening connections through linked data - Project how-tos and case studies - And any other topic related to linked data and GLAM You can explore past LD4 conferences <https://sites.google.com/stanford.edu/ld4-community-site/conferences>to learn more. We encourage you to submit a proposal for any of these session formats: - 10 minute lightning talks - 30 minute presentations (inclusive of a Q&A portion) - Workshops (longer form how-to's, show & tell, and participatory sessions) We are especially encouraging proposals from participants from groups and regions that are traditionally underrepresented in conferences related to linked data in libraries and other cultural heritage organizations, as well as proposals from early career professionals. Successful proposals will focus on concrete ways that linked data is used in GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) institutions, and will share pathways that allow others to participate in linked data. We encourage proposals especially from groups and regions that have been underrepresented in our conferences. The conference is an initiative of the LD4 Community <https://sites.google.com/stanford.edu/ld4-community-site/home>. The conference is free of charge, and we will reach back out to let everyone know when registration is open. You can see up-to-date information on the 2026 LD4 Conference Website <https://sites.google.com/stanford.edu/2026-ld4-conference>.
