Challenge: OED has 19 definitions of “Plant”
Let’s make the Web a little smarter!
A young tree, shrub, vegetable,
or flower newly planted, or
intended for planting; a set, a
cutting, a seedling. Now chiefly
Eng. regional (midl. and south.)
and Irish English (north.): a young
cabbage plant. (from the OED)

Aiming for “5 star” Linked Open Data
● Available on the Web (whatever format) with an open license
(CC0, PD, ODC, RightsStatements.org)
● As above, but as machine-readable structured data (Excel
spreadsheets)
● As above, but in a non-proprietary format (CSV instead of
Excel)
● As above, but use URIs to denote things, so that people can
point at your stuff (persistent URIs, RDF, SPARQL)
● As above, but linking your data out to other data to provide
context (Linked Open Data)

We’re sitting on a data goldmine
(but it has to be mined!)
•Converting our item-level rights statements to LOD links
(http://rightsstatements.org/)
•Unlocking tabular data from collections by publishing them as
Linked Open Data
•We can provide data we generate (statistics, analytics, door
count, etc.) as linked open data for us to mine, and for others to
mine nationally and globally
•We can use tools to generate information visualizations of our
own data and that of others
(https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Tools/External_tools)
...but we’re also realists
• Linked open data is open. Once you publish data, you can’t control
how it will be used -- like walking in open spaces, you can’t control
who will incidentally photograph you
• Early adoption at large scales is often slow, difficult, and expensive
(but it’s finally starting to get easier and cheaper!)
• Managing linked open data is like any other metadata work -- it
requires work to setup, and regular maintenance to keep up
• Like all areas in the information economy, problems with quality
control and authority control (e.g. “fake news”) are migrating from
old media to new media -- requiring constant vigilance to ensure
you’re using trustworthy sources
Okay, okay, so now what?
Where to go from here
Semantic Web for beginners
WATCH
• Linked Open Data – What is it? – An introduction to LOD for memory organization
workers
• Tim Berners-Lee: The Next Web – creator of the Web talks about its next stage of
evolution
• Linked Open Jazz – Using oral histories to explore relationships between artists.
BROWSE
• WikiData.org – browse to get a feel for the subject-predicate-object relationships.
• dbpedia.org – browse to get a feel for the use of LOD metadata standards.

  • 38. Improve findability & outreach with Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_W._Woodr uff_Library,_Atlanta_University_Center ...But follow Wikipedia COI Best Practices! 1. Infobox 2. Abstract 3. Wikidata Item 4. References
  • 41. Don’t just link out...remember to link in https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1137066
  • 44. We’re sitting on a data goldmine (but it has to be mined!) •Converting our item-level rights statements to LOD links (http://rightsstatements.org/) •Unlocking tabular data from collections by publishing them as Linked Open Data •We can provide data we generate (statistics, analytics, door count, etc.) as linked open data for us to mine, and for others to mine nationally and globally •We can use tools to generate information visualizations of our own data and that of others (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Tools/External_tools)
  • 45. ...but we’re also realists • Linked open data is open. Once you publish data, you can’t control how it will be used -- like walking in open spaces, you can’t control who will incidentally photograph you • Early adoption at large scales is often slow, difficult, and expensive (but it’s finally starting to get easier and cheaper!) • Managing linked open data is like any other metadata work -- it requires work to setup, and regular maintenance to keep up • Like all areas in the information economy, problems with quality control and authority control (e.g. “fake news”) are migrating from old media to new media -- requiring constant vigilance to ensure you’re using trustworthy sources
