[DCRM-L] Midwinter Program Announcement: Transitioning the RBMS Controlled Vocabularies to Linked Open Data: A Simple Model for Thesaurus Publishers

[Allison Jai O'Dell]

*Transitioning the RBMS Controlled Vocabularies to Linked Open Data: A
Simple Model for Thesaurus Publishers *

In 2016, the RBMS Controlled Vocabularies Editorial Group will publish
the *Controlled
Vocabularies for Use in Rare Book and Special Collections Cataloging
<http://rbms.info/vocabularies/>* as Linked Open Data.  The Group has
explored various options for a simple, low-tech solution to publish library
thesauri as Linked Data.

Please join us for a discussion of the options explored, their relative
merits and drawbacks, and an outline of the solution and workflows chosen
by the Group.  This presentation will interest those involved in thesaurus
production and/or authority work who seek to re-purpose their data as
Linked Data.

When: 1/9/2016 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
Where: Westin Copley Place, Empire room

Presenters:
Amber Billey, Metadata Librarian, Columbia University
Amy Brown, Librarian, Book Cataloging, Harry Ransom Center
Allison Jai O’Dell, Metadata Librarian, University of Florida, George A.
Smathers Libraries
