Next steps and expectations

Library Linked Data Incubator group report Semantic Web SIG meeting BERMES, Emmanuelle Centre G. Pompidou Paris, France IFLA 77 th WLIC August 2011

Linked Data Principles Use URIs as names for things Use HTTP URIs so that people can look up those names Provide useful information using standards (RDF, SPARQL) Create links with other datasets Linked Data principles from Sir Tim Berners-Lee

Why should libraries care ?
Because being part of the Linked data means being part of the Web, and bring the Web's value to library users
Because Linked Data technology could improve the value of description efforts by increasing interoperability and empowering better data curation processes based on links
Because future bibliographic standards may be based on Linked Data and Semantic Web models
Because Linked Data technologies are not limited to the library domain, and thus create opportunities for sharing beyond libraries

To help increase global interoperability of library data on the Web, by bringing together people involved in Semantic Web activities — focusing on Linked Data — in the library community and beyond, building on existing initiatives , and identifying collaboration tracks for the future . http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/charter

W3C incubator (XG) activity
Short-lived working groups: 1 year
Light administration burden
Not W3C Recommendations, but “innovative ideas for specifications, guidelines, and applications that are not (or not yet) clear candidates as Web standards”
=> XGs can trigger further W3C work

Final report outline
Scope and definitions
Benefits of Linked Data for libraries
Current situation
Recommendations
Technical appendixes

Recommendations highlights
For library leadership
Identify sets of data as possible candidates for early exposure as Linked Data
Foster a discussion about open data and rights
For standard bodies and participants
Increase library participation in SW standardization
Develop library standards that are compatible with Linked Data
Develop and disseminate best-practices design patterns tailored to LLD
Design user stories and models for user interfaces

Recommendations highlights (2)
For data and system designers
Create URIs for the items in library datasets
Connect library data standards to the Linked Data space
Develop policies for managing and preserving RDF vocabularies
For librarians and archivists
Preserve Linked Data vocabularies
Explore using library experience in curation and long-term preservation to Linked Data datasets

Next steps ?
Deliverables will be officially released in early september 2011
Potential transition to a community group ?
Simple transition ?
LAM ?
Research and publishing ?
What could be IFLA's role (and in particular the SWSIG's) in this context ?
