** With apologies for cross-posting ** Linked Library Data Un-Meeting @ ALA Annual Friday, June 25, 2010, 9am-12pm Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill, Regency A room This informal gathering, co-sponsored by LITA Next Generation Catalogs IG and ALCTS CC:DA, will be focused on discovering possible upcoming activities in the emerging Linked Library Data landscape. The goal is to surface a handful of particularly challenging issues in modeling library data for inclusion in the Linked Data ecosystem that can become the focus of future formal and informal activities. The meeting will begin with brief introductory presentations by Karen Coyle on the DC-RDA data modeling project, and Corey Harper on current state and emerging needs for RDF descriptions personal and corporate names, including use of FoaF vocabularies and OCLC's VIAF-linking work. Following these presentations will be breakout sessions on topics identified by the attendees. Come prepared to participate, barcamp-style, in some intense brainstorming. Lead a discussion on a topic of your choice. If you are interested in giving a brief "lightening talk", time can be made for additional short presentations before or after the discussions. These can be signed up for in advance by contacting Corey Harper, or proposed at the start of the meeting via a sign-up sheet. Hopefully the meeting will also serve as a good follow-on for attendees of Thursday's Linked Data Pre-Conference. The organizers are working on a follow-up meeting to continue these conversations at DC2010, which will be held in Pittsburgh, PA, October 20-22, 2010. -- Corey A Harper Metadata Services Librarian New York University Libraries 20 Cooper Square, 3rd Floor New York, NY 10003-7112 212.998.2479 corey.harper@nyu.edu
