OCLC Research published the report Creating Library Linked Data with WIkibase: Lessons Learned from Project Passage. The Wikibase prototype dubbed Project Passage provided a sandbox in which librarians from 16 U.S. institutions (including the University of Minnesota Libraries) could experiment with creating linked data to describe resources without having to necessarily know the technical underpinnings of linked data.
We're excited to share the news that Metropolitan State University is our co-sponsor for the Minitex Technical Services Symposium: Linked Data and the Future and MarcEdit workshop, and both events will take place on December 6 in the Library and Information Services building, located at 645 7th Street East, Saint Paul, Minnesota. We're also excited to provide you with more information about the keynote speaker, Jean Godby (OCLC Research), and MarcEdit workshop presenter, Terry Reese (creator of MarcEdit). Registration and the full program will be announced soon!
Join us for a half-day technical services symposium and an advanced MarcEdit workshop on Wednesday, December 6th. This inaugural conference will focus on what technical services practitioners face in the near and middle future. Topics will include Linked Data, BIBFRAME, and local practices happening right now in a library near you.
