The new Web is a growing `cloud' of interconnected resources that identify the things people want to know about when they approach the Internet with an information need. The linked data architecture has achieved critical mass just as it has become clear that library standards for resource description are nearing obsolescence. Working for the world's largest library cooperative, OCLC researchers have been active participants in the development of next-generation standards for library resource description. By engaging with an international community of library and Web standards experts, they have published some of the most widely used RDF datasets representing library collections and librarianship.\n\nThis book focuses on the conceptual and technical challenges involved in publishing linked data derived from traditional library metadata.\n\nThis transformation is a high priority because most searches for information start not in the library, nor even in a Web-accessible library catalog, but elsewhere on the Internet. Modeling data in a form that the broader Web understands will project the value of libraries into the Digital Information Age.\n\nThe exposition is aimed at librarians, archivists, computer scientists, and other professionals interested in modeling bibliographic descriptions as linked data. It aims to achieve a balanced treatment of theory, technical detail, and practical application.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-05-18\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031794643\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-79465-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x191cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 140\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Morgan \u0026 Claypool","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45442065694860,"sku":"9783031794643","price":40.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031794643.jpg?v=1776080663","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031794643","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
