Everything open

I originally started to write this post in reaction to a thread on the BIBFRAME email list in March 2015 entitled “Linked Data”. In reaction to this thread I wanted to write something on what I saw as the potential for Linked Data in libraries, which I felt went beyond the issues generally brought up in the thread (with a couple of notable exceptions). However, other things got in the way, and it wasn’t until I was invited to speak at an event on Linked Data and Libraries organised by OCLC that I managed to find the time to flesh out my thoughts. The following post is based on the talk I gave at that event which was on 22nd May 2015.

An overview over different alternatives and opportunities of using Linked Data principles and datasets for federated access to distributed OER repositories.
