Here is a list of some suggested background readings in preparation for the workshop. We still expect to be adding a few more suggestions over the next few days.
- Project Proposal (summary, from the public wiki)
- A project update presented at the CNI Membership Meeting in December 2014 by Dean Krafft and Tom Cramer. You can view a video of the presentation here: [YouTube][Vimeo], and you can find the abstract and slides on the CNI meeting page.
- LD4L Use Cases
- LD4L code repository on github
- David Weinberger: "A Good, Dumb Way to Learn from Libraries" from the Chronicle of Higher Education, October 7, 2014. This provides motivation and explanation for a simple usage metric that protects user privacy.
- Common Ground: Exploring Compatibilities Between the Linked Data Models of the Library of Congress and OCLC / Jean Godby and Ray Denenberg. This provides a high-level comparison between the LoC BIBFRAME approach and the work that OCLC has been doing on expressing bibliographic metadata in Schema.org.
