The Linked Data for Libraries (LD4L) team, consisting of librarians, ontologists, metadata experts, and developers from Cornell, Harvard, and Stanford libraries with support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, has recently completed its first two years of work on adapting and developing Linked Open Data standards for describing and sharing information about scholarly information resources. In this presentation we will: 1) describe how to search, access, and use the Linked Open Data created by the project, representing some 29 million scholarly information resources cataloged by the three partner institutions; 2) describe the follow-on work of two closely related projects – LD4L Labs is creating tools to support original cataloging of scholarly information resources using linked data, as well as tools to support using linked data to organize, annotate, visualize, browse, and discover these resources, and LD4P (Linked Data for metadata Production) is a partnership of Stanford, Columbia, Cornell, Princeton, Harvard, and the Library of Congress to do original and copy cataloging of a wide range of collections and materials; and 3) draw on the use cases and examples embodied in this work to discuss some of the challenges and opportunities they pose for open repositories.
| selected citations These citations are derived from selected sources. This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | 0 | |
| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
| influence This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | Average | |
| impulse This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network. | Average |
