The Strongest Link: Libraries and Linked Data - 0 views

IMT122 Reading List Supplementary Reading Week 03 Linked Data Topic 03 IMT122

  • For many years now we have been hearing that the semantic web is just around the corner
  • most libraries, however, is that we are still grappling with 2.0 technologies.
  • By marking up information in standardized, highly structured formats like Resource Description Framework (RDF), we can allow computers to better "understand" the meaning of content
  • ...17 more annotations...
  • For most librarians this concept is fairly easy to understand. We have been creating highly structured machine-readable metadata for many years
  • By linking our data to shared ontologies that describe the properties and relationships of objects, we begin to allow computers not just to "understand" content, but also to derive new knowledge by "reasoning" about that content.
  • the term "Semantic Web" to refer to a full suite of W3C standards including RDF, SPARQL query language, and OWL web ontology language.
  • This article will outline some of the benefits that linked data could have for libraries, will discuss some of the non-technical obstacles that we face in moving forward, and will finally offer suggestions for practical ways in which libraries can participate in the development of the semantic web.
  • What benefits will libraries derive from linked data?
  • Having a common format for all data would be a huge boon for interoperability and the integration of all kinds of systems.
  • The linking hub would expose a network of tightly linked information from publishers, aggregators, book and journal vendors, subject authorities, name authorities, and other libraries.
  • semantic search could take us far beyond the current string-matching capabilities of search engines like Google.
  • What are the major obstacles for libraries?
  • A fundamental challenge for the development of linked data in libraries is lack of awareness.
  • Linked Data becomes more powerful the more of it there is.
  • Until there is enough linking between collections and imaginative uses of data collections there is a danger librarians will see linked data as simply another metadata standard, rather than the powerful discovery tool it will underpin.
  • a more practical concern is that changing the foundation of library metadata is no trivial task.
  • Privacy is a huge concern for many interested in linked data.
  • Related to privacy is trust.
  • Rights management poses potential problems for linked data in libraries. Libraries no longer own much of the content they provide to users; rather it is subscribed to from a variety of vendors.
  • What needs to happen to move libraries to the next level?
