It’s time to submit a proposal for the LD4 2026 Conference. If you've been
thinking about contributing, we’d love to hear from you.
The LD4 2026 Conference invites proposals for presentations, lightning
talks, and workshops that highlight application of linked data in and its
impact on knowledge systems, with focus on galleries, libraries, archives
and museums.
Possible topics could include:
-
From pilot to production - the life cycle of a linked data project
-
Building sustainable and scalable linked data workflows
-
Strengthening connections through linked data
-
Project how-tos and case studies
-
And any other topic related to linked data and GLAM
You can explore past LD4 conferences
<https://sites.google.com/stanford.edu/ld4-community-site/conferences> to
learn more.
We encourage you to submit a proposal for any of these session formats:
-
10 minute lightning talks
-
30 minute presentations (inclusive of a Q&A portion)
-
Workshops (longer form how-to's, show & tell, and participatory sessions)
We are especially encouraging proposals from participants from groups and
regions that are traditionally underrepresented in conferences related to
linked data in libraries and other cultural heritage organizations, as well
as proposals from early career professionals. Successful proposals will
focus on concrete ways that linked data is used in GLAM (Galleries,
Libraries, Archives, and Museums) institutions, and will share pathways
that allow others to participate in linked data. We encourage proposals
especially from groups and regions that have been underrepresented in our
conferences.
The conference is an initiative of the LD4 Community <http://ld4.io/>. The
conference is free of charge, and we will reach back out to let everyone
know when registration is open. You can see up-to-date information on the 2026
