Yesterday I spent a really interesting morning at Museum Victoria attending and presenting at a workshop on Linked Open Data in Libraries, Archives and Musuems (LOD-LAM) organised by Culture Victoria. As usual with these things, there were varying levels of technical and background knowledge on the topic. However, I think the level of the presentations was spot on and judging by the number of questions and discussions happening there was a lot of interest in this topic.
Mia Ridge (@mia_out) gave an excellent introduction to Linked Data and how it is used in libraries, galleries and museums. She’s put together a wiki with links to all sorts of useful stuff.
Below are the slides from my talk on activities at the Victorian Parliamentary Library (astute viewer will notice they are mostly lifted straight out of my VALA talk).
