If you have in mind social or emergent use cases for library linked data, we would appreciate if you could contribute them to the Library Linked Data XG (e.g., via public-lld@w3.org mailing list). Detailed information about the call below. > ================================================================ > Call for Use Cases: Social uses and other new uses of Library Linked Data > The W3C Library Linked Data Incubator Group - > http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/ > Requested by February 15th, 2011 > ================================================================ > > Do you use library-related data -- like reading lists, library > materials (articles, books, videos, cultural heritage or archival > materials, etc), bookmarks, or annotations -- on the Web and mobile > Web? > > Are you currently using social features in library-related information > systems or sites, or plan to do so in the near future? We are > particularly interested in uses that are related to or could benefit > from the use of linked data [1]. > > > The W3C Library Linked Data Incubator Group is soliciting SOCIAL and > EMERGENT use cases for library-related linked data: > > What new or innovative uses do you see (or envision) integrating > library and cultural heritage data into applications on the Web and in > social media? > How are social features used in library-related information systems? > What are the emergent uses of library-related data on the Web and mobile Web? > How could linked data technology [1] > - enhance the use of library-related data in a social context? > - contribute to systems for sharing, filtering, recommending, or > machine reading? > - support new uses we may not have envisioned or achieved yet? > > Some examples have been discussed in this thread [4]. > > Please tell us more by filling in the questionnaire below and sending > it back to us or to public-lld@w3.org, preferably before February > 15th, 2011. > > > > The information you provide will be influential in guiding the activities the > Library Linked Data Incubator Group will undertake to help increase global > interoperability of library data on the Web. The information you provide will > be curated and published on the group wikispace at [3]. > > We understand that your time is precious, so please don't feel you have to > answer every question. Some sections of the templates are clearly marked as > optional. However, the more information you can provide, the easier it will be > for the Incubator Group to understand your case.

As far > as possible, please put explanation of the domain in here, to keep the scenario > as short as possible. If this scenario is best illustrated by showing > how applying > technology could replace current existing practice, then this section > can be used > to describe the current practice. Often, the key to why a use case is important > also lies in what problem would occur if it was not achieved, or what problem > means it is hard to achieve. > > === Goal === > > Two short statements stating (1) what is achieved in the scenario without > reference to linked data, and (2) how we use linked data technology to achieve > this goal. > > === Target Audience === > > The main audience of your case. For example scholars, the general > public, service > providers, archivists, computer programs... > > === Use Case Scenario === > > The use case scenario itself, described as a story in which actors interact with > systems. This section should focus on the user needs in this scenario. Do not > mention technical aspects and/or the use of linked data. > > === Application of linked data for the given use case === > > This section describes how linked data technology could be used to support the > use case above. Try to focus on linked data on an abstract level, without > mentioning concrete applications and/or vocabularies. Hint: Nothing library > domain specific. > > === Existing Work (optional) === > > This section is used to refer to existing technologies or approaches > which achieve > the use case (Hint: Specific approaches in the library domain). It may > especially > refer to running prototypes or applications. > > === Related Vocabularies (optional) === > > Here you can list and clarify the use of vocabularies (element sets and value > vocabularies) which can be helpful and applied within this context. > > === Problems and Limitations (optional) === > > This section lists reasons why this scenario is or may be difficult to achieve, > including pre-requisites which may not be met, technological obstacles > etc. Please > explicitly list here the technical challenges made apparent by this > use case. This > will aid in creating a roadmap to overcome those challenges. > > === Related Use Cases and Unanticipated Uses (optional) === > > The scenario above describes a particular case of using linked data. However, by > allowing this scenario to take place, the likely solution allows for other use > cases. This section captures unanticipated uses of the same system > apparent in the > use case scenario. > > === References (optional) === > > This section is used to refer to cited literature and quoted websites. >
