Re: introduction to linked data + library linked data, for catalogers?

I can immodestly recommend my own works, which are available online  
through (I believe) EBSCO subscriptions:

- Understanding the Semantic Web: Bibliographic Data and Metadata.  
January, 2010
- RDA Vocabularies for a Twenty-first Century Data Environment. February, 2010

http://www.alatechsource.org/library-technology-reports/understanding-the-semantic-web-bibliographic-data-and-metadata

http://www.alatechsource.org/library-technology-reports/rda-vocabularies-for-a-twenty-first-century-data-environment

There is a free chapter of the first one available at:

http://alatechsource.metapress.com/content/p3022442071g7655/fulltext.pdf

And the first one is the one that has won this year's ALCTS  
"Outstanding Publication Award", which basically means that it made  
sense to catalogers, which I consider a real feat.

I do think that we need more training-type materials out there and  
more educational opportunities. I hope this is something that will  
come out of the LLD report.
