  • An “RDF Vocabulary” is an ontology.
  • OCLC joined W3C in January 1997. Some other members at the time included Adobe, Alcatel-Lucent, Apple, Canon, Deutsche Telekom, France Telecom, HP, Hitachi, Intel, Microsoft, Nokia, and Oracle.
  • Only second time cooperation between the search engines, after robots.txt
  • Here is a real example using our markup developed by Max, Karen Coombs intern in the developer network.The plug-in works not only on worldcat.org but any page with embedded microdataAfter pulling the microdata from the page it presents the user with a popup of available options.In this case we will use the “Send to Goodreads Shelf” selectionThe microdata populates a goodreads form to add to your collection.And there it is… just a few clicks from web discovery to placed in a social platform, Brought to you by Libraries, Worldcat and OCLC.Pause for applause…

    3. 3. What is Linked Data?A method of publishing structured data based onan ontology, using HTTP URIs as identifiers so Structured Datathat information can be linked within and acrossweb domains. URIs are the Identifiers The world’s libraries. Connected.

    5. 5. Mechanisms for Interoperability• Humans and machines share the same http URI- based API • RDFa/Microdata markup embedded in HTML • Content-negotiation (Cool URIs for the Semantic Web)• RDF meta-model • Statement-based syntax (triple) • Domain-specific vocabulary specifications (RDFS/OWL) The world’s libraries. Connected.
    6. 6. 4 Rules (“Steps”) of Linked Data1. Use URIs as names for things2. Use HTTP URIs so that people can look up those names3. When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information, using the standards (RDF*, SPARQL)4. Include links to other URIs, so that they can discover more things The world’s libraries. Connected.
