Growing Together• Over 2000 Library Locations

– Typical catalogs transform & publish in less than an hour• 1+ Billions of
– Resources described– Connections created– Opportunities to reach new and current users re-
enforcing relevance
Every library, museum & archive has a story…
How is the Web illuminating and connecting with your story?
Human Friendly
Machine Optimized
The Web is moving from web pages and simple SEO to “a web
of data”
The simple links of the original Web
Are becoming typed data - data linkssubject – predicate – object
Linked Data becomes useful when we have
A CommonAccessible and
Actionable approach
The Next Generation of Search is rooted in Questions, Geography,
Personalization, and Relationships
Behave Differently
Intelligent agents
Imagine an information landscape that has learned
about Libraries, their content, and services
I’m looking for some good new mysteries I can pick up before I head out for my trip later this week? Let me check
on some options, but
first - Who are some of your
favorite authors?
What would it take for Libraries to be part of the
conversation?

The Network Effect• Pathways to understand what is
shared and unique• Working together to reshape
the landscape
Stories at ScaleUnderstanding what is common & unique
• Who?– Descriptive
• Where?– Locations
• When?– Hours
• What?– Content– Services– Events
• How?– Access & Policies
• Why?– Purpose & Strategy
Every Library has a Local Link Graph activated
Libraries Publish Linked Data through Local Link Graphs
Each “Resource” is published and linked in the Library’s Local Link Graph pages.
Library First – Architecture is designed to bring together disparate resources, surface relationships and provide entry paths for the Web into what’s available in the library.
445,007 Catalog “Records” become millions of Link Graph Data Resources

A Person Resource doesn’t yet have a Catalog “page”, but look at what your data can teach the Web…
All Local Link Graphs• Consistent vocabulary• Current content• Local identity and
story• Shared links
The Library.Link Network is• Large scale• Inclusive• Locally focused• Globally deployed• Current content• Designed for high
volume harvest

Telling the whole story requires Collaboration
Weaving the best of libraries and the Web together
• This isn’t about gaming a system• It’s not about optimizing to any one service• It’s about speaking as an industry in a way the
Web understands• Leveraging the power of our community • And benefiting from what all this enables
