Linked Open Data: Impressions &amp; Challenges Among Europe's Research Libraries

LIBER’s Linked Open Data Working Group aims to paint a picture of the current state of Linked Open Data (LOD) among European research libraries and to provide insights which help research libraries to develop their LOD activities. The group recently completed a review of practices which research libraries follow in making data linked and open. The review was based on a survey, which looked at processes for making data semantically interoperable. Challenges and possibilities, from both a technical and librarian perspective, were also covered. The LOD Working Group has now published the findings of its survey.
