Background
Linked data promises to expose the richness of library collections to the world, and to open up new pathways to knowledge based on previously unlinked data. After a decade of experimentation and pilot projects, what are the next steps to move to large-scale production of linked data? How can the library community learn from and contribute to other communities who are working toward similar goals? The 2019 LD4 Conference, to be held May 10-11 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, aims to bring practitioners together to collaborate on creating pathways to implementation of linked data in libraries.
The language of the conference is English.
Participation
Participation is by open application; the application period ended February 28, 2019. The Program Committee invited participation that will bring diverse and broad perspectives, from both aspiring and experienced practitioners including:
- Librarians working (or aspiring to work with) linked data
- Representatives from adjacent cultural heritage spaces including archives and museums
- Ontologists and data modelers
- Software engineers and user experience professionals interested in library metadata
- Open knowledge advocates
- Others who share an interest in implementing linked data in libraries
We had a large response to our call for applications, and the Program Committee chose the applications that best fit within the conference scope.
For questions about the LD4 Conference, please contact the conference co-chairs at ld4conf_chairs@googlegroups.com
