I’ve just seen two recently published reports that will certainly be of interest and thought I’d share here:
The Stanford Linked Data Workshop Technology Plan. “If instantiated at several institutions, will demonstrate to end users the value of the Linked Data approach to recording machine operable facts about the products of teaching, learning, and research. The most noteworthy advantage of the Linked Open Data approach is that it allows the recorded facts , in turn, to become the basis for new discovery environments.” Personally, I love their push for CC0 and I also really liked the push to publish early and often and not wait until things are perfect, with recommended workflows. [Thanks to Jerry Persons for feeding input from the LODLAM Summit into the Stanford working group and to this technology plan. Thanks Rachel Frick for flagging this with #LODLAM on Twitter]
Proceedings of the 1st International Workshop on Semantic Digital Archives, Berlin, Sept.29, 2011. Fantastic collection of papers from this workshop, and a really good preface that summarizes the meeting, each of the papers, and the growing presence of Linked Data in libraries, archives and museums.
