<strong>ABOUT THE VIRTUAL CONFERENCE</strong></div>
<div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<div>Everything about information resources and tools seems to be in a transitional state. We are building a new kind of digital information environment, dubbed the Semantic Web. This event looks at a spectrum of approaches adopted in developing semantically-enhanced
information resources and provides attendees with a better sense of the rate of speed at which this community is moving to achieve the Semantic Web. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Presenters will talk about the semantic web landscape, the role linked open data plays in this environment, and current projects underway that demonstrate how the semantic web impacts the library and information community, and what experts in the wider
communities are doing to achieve those goals.</div>
