Abstract
By bringing Linked Open Data into the library, you’re joining a metadata ecosystem of global discoverability and comprehensive interoperability, allowing the richness of library metadata to be shared globally. Cataloging is far more accurate and much less manual, while search results are relevant, reliable, informative, and fast. With Linked Open Data formats and AI emerging in library technologies, libraries can expand start to embrace collaborative cataloging initiatives. We want to share with you how this vision is becoming a reality with Ex Libris’ Focus Group for Linked Open Data and what we are doing to cope with challenges faced together with our community.
