[nfais-l] Registration closing for NFAIS Webinar on Linked Data

[Bonnie Lawlor]

Registration Closes at on Wednesday, October 24th at Noon (EST) for the
NFAIS Webinar  on Linked Data

Registration for the NFAIS webinar, Linked Data:  What it is, What it Does,
and the Future of Information Discovery, will close this coming Wednesday at
12:00pm EST.

The 90 minute webinar will be held on Thursday, October 25th from 11:00am -
12:30pm EST and will provide an overview of how linked data can be used to
the benefit of the entire information community - content providers,
librarians, and users.  Some of the topics to be covered are what is meant
by "linked data;" how it is a step forward from previous mechanisms used to
expose information on the web; if and how it is being used by the
scholarly/research community in a fruitful way; how it fuels the semantic
web predicted for the future; and why, with the increasing power of
technologies that can make sense of unstructured data, linked standards are
necessary.

 

Two experts will lead the discussion: Bradley Allen, Vice President,
Elsevier Labs, will provide the perspective of a content provider and
Richard Wallis, Technology Evangelist, OCLC, will provide the viewpoint of
the library community.

 

If you or your staff want to get a quick introduction to linked data and how
its use can enhance a publisher's information products and services as well
as increase the value and utility of a library's holdings, register for the
NFAIS webinar today.  NFAIS members pay $105, Sister Society members pay
