Working from May 2010 until August 2011, the group was given the charge to "...help increase global interoperability of library data on the Web, by bringing together people involved in Semantic Web activities—focusing on Linked Data—in the library community and beyond, building on existing initiatives, and identifying collaboration tracks for the future." >>> >>> The reason for the existence of this group at this time is the great interest in sharing bibliographic data on the Web using Linked Data technologies. For this to be successful it will be necessary to publish library data on the web using semantic web standards. >>> >>> >>> I propose: >>> >>> The W3C Library Linked Data Incubator Group worked from May 2010 until August 2011, this final report being the main outcome of this activity. The mission of the incubator group was to help increase global interoperability of library data on the Web. At this time, libraries and other cultural heritage or memory institutions, including museums and archives, show a great interest in sharing data on the Web. Existing use cases and library applications showcase the benefits of adopting Semantic Web standards and Linked Data principles, in order to publish valuable information assets that library create and curate, such as bibliographic data, lists of concepts, names, persons, etc. >>> >>> >>> What do you think ? >>> Emma >>> >>> On Tue, Aug 16, 2011 at 3:05 PM, Jodi Schneider <jodi.schneider@deri.org <mailto:jodi.schneider@deri.org>> wrote: >>> >>> It's very good to have a start on this!

Unfortunately I don't have time to look closer and possibly fix it -- but perhaps someone else can push further the start Karen has given us? >>> >>> I'm not sure whether, for our readers, Linked Data is obvious as a starting point -- so I'd rather that we talk about "great interest in sharing bibliographic data on the Web" rather than the "great interest in sharing bibliographic data on the Web using Linked Data technologies". This is a pretty significant change so I didn't just make it! >>> >>> -Jodi >>> >>> On 11 Aug 2011, at 15:35, Karen Coyle wrote: >>> >>>> There is now a very drafty Executive Summary in the transcluded report.
