ZOOM PASSCODE IS: ld4-2024
OCLC has worked closely with the library community to make significant advancements in linked data over the past year. This includes the improvement and enrichment of data; the development of linked data applications and services; enhancements to the infrastructure and technologies that support linked data; and growth in our knowledge and understanding of the future of library metadata.

Both libraries and OCLC have invested an increasing amount of time and resources in making these achievements possible. There is growing recognition that linked data—when built upon thoughtfully and collaboratively—can provide a means to solve a variety of library challenges.

In this session, we’ll dive into the tangible advancements in linked data OCLC has made over the past year that have afforded opportunities for libraries to participate in a linked data future, and how community engagement has informed and guided these advancements. We’ll articulate the widespread benefits of recent data enrichment initiatives; showcase new linked data applications as well as enhancements to existing metadata management tools; and share near-term goals that will continue driving the library community forward.

Regardless of where a library lies on its linked data journey, there is room to learn, experiment, practice, grow, and innovate together.
