ALCTS webinar: When Opportunity Knocks? Challenges Associated with
Implementing Linked Data in Libraries
Date: May 22, 2013
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.
This hour-long webinar takes the discussion of linked data in libraries
a step further. The benefits that linked data represents are
incontestable: making relationships in metadata explicit, using
web–friendly markup, and liberating libraries from their current data
silos are all part of the appeal. Integrating library data onto the
semantic web is imminent, but what are some of the obstacles that
libraries will have to overcome? Linked data standards, multiple URIs,
sophisticated query language issues, and the challenge of navigating a
different set of data silos all will require libraries to re-think their
approach as we move toward linked data.
Who should attend? Those looking to implement linked data solutions at
their libraries.
Presenter: Heather Lea Moulaison, PhD, is an Assistant Professor at the
University of Missouri’s School of Information Science and Learning
Technologies. Dr. Moulaison’s teaching and research interests include
organization of information (including cataloging and metadata) and
emerging technologies in libraries (including linked data and cloud
computing). Dr. Moulaison earned her PhD at Rutgers University, earned
an MSLIS from University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), and also
earned an MA in Interdisciplinary French Studies from UIUC.
