>
> Linking Enterprise Data is the application of Semantic Web architecture
> principles to real-world information management issues faced by commercial,
> not-for-profit and government enterprises.  The term LED is a play on
> Linking Open Data (LOD), a community project started by the World Wide Web

> II.  Objective of the Book
>
> This book aims to provide practical approaches to addressing common
> information management issues by the application of Semantic Web and Linked
> Data research to production environments.  The approaches taken are based on
> international standards. The book is to be written and edited by leaders in
> Semantic Web and Linked Data research and standards development and early
> adopters of Semantic Web and Linked Data standards and techniques.
>
> III.  Target Audience
>
> This book is meant for Semantic Web researchers and academicians, and CTOs,
> CIOs, enterprise architects, project managers and application developers in
> commercial, not-for-profit and government organizations concerned with
> scalability, flexibility and robustness of information management systems.
>  Not-for-profit organizations specifically include the library and museum
> communities.
>
> Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
> - Business, technical and social values of applying Web architecture to
> enterprise content, such as the means by which deployment agility,
> resilience and reuse of data may be accomplished
> - Building of social (human-centered) communities to curate distributed
> data
> - Enterprise infrastructure for Linking Enterprise Data
> - Persistent Identifiers for the Web, life sciences, libraries and memory
> organizations
> - Linking the government cloud
> - Applications of Linked Data to enterprises, such as drug discovery,
> clinical information, organizational learning or curation of/access to
> distributed information
> - Publishing large-scale Linked Data
>
> IV.  Publisher
