All,
I had a few off-list requests for basics - what are the basic things
that librarians need to know about linked data? I have a site where I am
putting up a somewhat crudely designed tutorial (with exercises):

I get the basic concepts of linked data. But what I don't understand is
why the idea has been around so long, yet there seems to be a dearth of
useful applications that live up to the hype. So, what I want to learn
about linked data is: who's using it effectively? Maybe there's lots of

There's a lot of really great linked data stuff going on in classical
studies. The Pelagios project (http://pelagios-project.blogspot.com/) is
one of the best examples because the bar for participation is set very
low. The RDF model is very simple, linking objects (works of literature,
There's one thing at least I'd argue Linked Data gets right compared to OAI
PMH: It does not go against the grain of the web (no funny mini-protocol
tunneled over HTTP, no resumption token stuff that assumes stateful
servers). And this point really is the most important one for the way I use

I'm thinking about training needs around linked data -- yes, that
includes basic concepts, but at the moment I'm wondering what specific
technologies or tasks people would like to learn about? Some obvious
examples are: how to do SPARQL queries; how to use triples in databases;
maybe how to
Hi Karen. Great question!
As a former cataloger/library student, I would say that my biggest interest
is how to establish one LD project using the easiest/cheapest method (for
example, Python, maybe)? Creating an ontology may be part of this question,
but I am more interested in a general (and
Dear Karen,
I think that how extensible RDF is would be a very good topic. I'm
not talking about the theoretical extensibility of RDF, but how to do it
in a practical manner. That is, if you have a role, or some other
relationship, for example, and you want to use it. Linked Data provides
Kevin, thanks.
Is it valid to re-word this as: How can I extend an RDF vocabulary if I
need to?
I think the question of publishing vocabularies (as well as publishing
an extension) is part of that. I could see this extending to best
practices for naming (e.g. URI/IRIs), and perhaps even a

-- Absolutely. In re-reading my response, I feel it is a little less
than perfectly articulate, to say the least. Sorry for that.
In any event, I can't give enough props to Adam Soroka for jumping in
