a 2015 ALCTS Preconference
Friday, June 26, 8:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. | event code: ALC3 | Register
Current discussion puts undue emphasis on the philosophy and technology of linked data. Yes, it's cool and demands to be played with. And yes, the library community is late to the party. But what is required for success besides an interesting idea?
Join us to explore ontology design and data modeling in the real world. Learn about the people, processes, metrics, and yes the technology, needed to succeed.
