The 23 Linked Data Things project organizers are pleased to announce that Things 20-22 are now published and available on the website. Thing 20, by Lizzy Baus (Macalester College), introduces options for adding uniform resource identifiers (URIs) to MARC fields. Thing 21 is guest-authored by Claudia Berger (Sarah Lawrence College) and explores different types of data visualizations. Thing 22, written by Violet Fox (Northwestern University), will help you distill the value of what you have learned about linked data so you can more easily share it with others.
