Linked Open Data

Linked Data in Libraries

Linked Data Principles

1. Use URIs as names for Things

2. Use HTTP URIs so that people can look up those names

3. When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information, using the standards (RDF)

4. Include links to other URIs, so that they can discover more things

– Linked Data Design Issues, Tim Berners-Leehttp://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html

A [Library] Linked Data Vision

A few global linking hubs

A few global linking hubs- Identities & subjects - concepts

A few global linking hubs- Identities & subjects - concepts- LoC, VIAF, British Library, OpenLibrary, Bibliothèque

Linked to non-library hubs

Local catalogue records evolve into links between concepts

Local catalogue records evolve into links between concepts- Including local concepts (locations, etc.)

Local catalogue records evolve into links between concepts- Including local concepts (locations, etc.)- Technology used to cache links for performance

Library as part of the Linked Data Web

Whither the cataloguing profession?http://www.flickr.com/photos/blogrodent/970681321/

Library Linked Data Drivers

Library Linked Data DriversProbably not the local cataloguers

Metadata for eResource

Metadata for eResource-Delivered with the resource

Metadata for eResource-Delivered with the resource-OCLC already ‘improving’ data for publishers

Article level metadata

Article level metadata- Too much to catalog

Article level metadata- Too much to catalog-Already being globally aggregated - DOI

Non-librarians linking to library stuff

Change

ChangeWhat you do - not just how you do it

Librarians can add great value to the web

You can add great value to the web

But you need to be proactively ‘of’ the Web to do it

They won’t come just because you have built it!
