Code4LIb lightning talk about LODLAM incubator idea.

1. LOD-LAM Incubator
Moving forward the
practical, operational application of
linked open data in
libraries, archives and museums
Rachel Frick, rfrick@clir.org
Jon Voss, jon.voss@wearewhatwedo.org

2. Money
Planning Grants: $1500
Provide assistance to move an idea into an
actual project by developing a marketing
pitch, project plan, and resource allocations.
Start-up Grants: $2500 to $7500
Designed to support building a project plan to a
proof of concept. Participants will be encouraged
to focus on discrete datasets and specific
implementations that are not full-fledged
projects, but may be one working component of a
larger project, and enough to illustrate the
usefulness of Linked Open Data in action.
