Webinar: Linked Data: What it is, What it Does, and the Future of
Information Discovery<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>“Linked
Data” is one of today’s hot topics. But do you know what is
meant by the term, how linked data is generated, and what potential it holds
for improving information discovery?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>On October
25, 2012 NFAIS will hold a 90 minute webinar that 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

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
