Abstract
ABSTRACT In this article, Jeannie Hartley presents research regarding linked data and its founder, and discusses how linked data can be used. Some benefits and challenges discovered in the research are discussed, as well as some requirements for the process. Focus is given to Research Description Framework (RDF) and Resource Description and Access (RDA) for use in linked data records. Hartley also offers an examination of some linked data projects. The article then transitions to Heidy Berthoud’s discussion of various linked data projects in process at the Smithsonian Libraries (SIL). She addresses the development of the linked data macro, SIL’s participation in the Program for Cooperative Cataloging’s (PCC) Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) in Machine Readable Cataloging (MARC) Pilot Project, and early explorations into Wikidata.
