The AIMS Metadata Group of Interest is pleased to announce the webinar How to select appropriate encoding strategies for producing Linked Open Data (LOD)-enabled bibliographic data. 

This event is part of the series of webinars Linked Open Data @ AIMS that started in December 2012. The objective of Linked Open Data @ AIMS is to introduce information management specialist into the initiatives related to the Semantic Web currently taking place within the AIMS Community of Practice.

About the webinar

The webinar will be based on LODE-BD Recommendations - Linked Open Data (LOD)-enabled bibliographical data- which aims at providing bibliographic data providers of open repositories with a set of recommendations that will support the selection of appropriate encoding strategies for producing meaningful Linked Open Data (LOD)-enabled bibliographical data (LODE-BD).

The LODE-BD recommendations are applicable for structured data describing bibliographic resources such as articles, monographs, theses, conference papers, presentation materials, research reports, learning objects, etc. – in print or electronic format.

In the discussion round of the LODE-BD Webinar some useful sources for locating LOD datasets, vocabularies, properties, and examples of bibliographic data were mentioned. Here are the links to some of them.
