Linked Open Data Conference - final programme

How do cataloguing standards like FRBR and ISBD help libraries publish
linked data? What issues are encountered when publishing open and linked
data? How can library linked data combine with archive and museum data to
contribute to national heritage?

 

The final programme is confirmed for the 2nd Linked Open Data Conference
from the Cataloguing and Indexing Group in Scotland (CIGS). Taking place in
Edinburgh, Scotland on 21st September 2012, with keynote presentation from
Richard Wallis - LOD and semantic web expert and Technology Evangelist at
OCLC - and speakers from across Europe, the conference will be of relevance
if you work with or are responsible for cultural heritage metadata, resource
discovery, or data interoperability and are interested in linked data, open
data and the semantic web - learn how your metadata can work harder for you
and others, and how other people's metadata can work harder for you.
