Jodi, et al.,

I don't know of any formal listing, but I've cobbled together the
following list for my conference time. Alas, I have conflicts opposite
some of these (and a few of them conflict with one another). Not sure
if this is comprehensive, but I think it represents a pretty good
snapshot of Linked Data and SemWeb at ALA2011. Clearly Linked Data is
a pretty major topic at ALA next week.

Best,
-Corey
