Linked Data - Radical Change?
The document discusses linked data and its potential impact on libraries. It describes linked data as connecting the world's libraries by publishing structured data about 290 million resources using common schemas, embedding RDFa, and linking to controlled vocabularies. While linked data presents challenges like metadata for different types of materials, it offers opportunities to describe resources as part of the web and link catalog data to related concepts through identifiers.
