Richard Wallis

The document discusses linked data and its potential applications for libraries. It describes OCLC's WorldCat Linked Data project which has exposed over 273 million bibliographic records as linked data. The presentation argues that linked data can help libraries share data on the web by linking records to controlled vocabularies and other datasets. However, fully realizing linked data's potential will require changes to traditional library cataloging practices and systems.
