How the W3C Has Come To Love Library Linked Data - 0 views

  • The number of influential libraries publishing their metadata onto the web as linked open data, which is the heart of the Semantic Web, is growing
  • many librarians at major institutions have recognized that a key to the bibliographic future lies in migrating their data out of library silos and into an open, global pool of shared data.
  • the linked data cloud is seen as the most promising way to ensure that library data remains accessible and reusable
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • "If libraries are to retain their role as curators of the intellectual products of society, their assets must be part of that search stream."
  • web entities such as DBpedia, which offers a Semantic Web mirror of Wikipedia
  • libraries have begun to reconceptualize metadata and publish it on the web using linked data technologies, such as the Resource Description Framework (RDF) language and its extensions OWL, SKOS, and SPARQL.
  • library metadata is formatted and linked in RDF, then library content will surface more prominently in web search results
  • Recommendations from W3CThe report is still being finalized but the draft recommends that libraries:
  • — create web addresses using Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) as globally unique, web-compatible identifiers for the resources (any kind of object or concept) they manage and the metadata elements they use
  • — develop library data standards that are compatible with linked data
  • — use their expertise in metadata management to become full partners
  • — foster a discussion about open data and rights.
  • — explore using libraries' ethos of quality control in the curation and long-term preservation of linked data datasets and vocabularies.
  • "As the shared understanding expands, the benefits of publishing linked data are becoming clearer,"
