The transition from traditional document-focused networks to data-focused networks marks a new era for library systems. The concept of the semantic web emphasizes focusing on data as individual, linkable elements managed in a distributed way. This idea forms the foundation of linked data technologies – allowing different systems to connect and share information in a distributed way.

Learn how Ex Libris is collaborating with the community, addressing the community’s needs, and bringing linked open data into libraries to create a metadata ecosystem of global discoverability and comprehensive interoperability. Gain insight into how the linked open data vision is becoming a reality within the Alma and Primo solutions by seeing what exists today, and what’s to come in the immediate future, to deliver the best possible services for library staff and users. Witness how cataloguing is far more accurate, and much less manual, while discovering how search results are faster and more relevant, reliable, and informative. Discussion will also include thoughts about how linked open data and artificial intelligence (AI) are intertwined.
