Linked Data Efforts at Cornell University Library (selective) : a snapshot in time

Abstract

Since 2014, Cornell University Library (CUL) has been collaborating with Harvard and Stanford Universities on Linked Data for Libraries (LD4L), an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation funded initiative to model and produce library data as linked data. In this talk, Kovari reviews the efforts undertaken in LD4L and discusses on-going work at CUL to further model and produce library data as linked data. This presentation provides background on Cornell's efforts in the LD4L space, including upcoming work on LD4L Labs and LD4P, with a particular focus on efforts in technical services as well as collaborations both with and beyond the initial LD4L group. Further, the talk discusses two projects underway at Cornell: an IMLS funded National Strategy for Shareable Local Name Authorities and a local effort to investigate Vitro for local authorities.
