Webinar: Library Linked Data: From Vision to Reality Date: December 11, 2013 Time: 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. Eastern Event webpage: http://www.niso.org/news/events/2013/webinars/linked_data
===================================================================== ABOUT THE WEBINAR The library and cultural institution communities have generally accepted the vision of moving to a Linked Data environment that will align and integrate their resources with those of the greater Semantic Web. But moving from vision to implementation is not easy or well-understood. A number of institutions have begun the needed infrastructure and tools development with pilot projects to provide structured data in support of discovery and navigation services for their collections and resources. Join NISO for our December 11 webinar where speakers will highlight actual Linked Data projects within their institutions-from envisioning the model to implementation and lessons learned-and present their thoughts on how linked data benefits research, scholarly communications, and publishing.
