[CODE4LIB] linked data and open access

[Eric Lease Morgan]

I don’t know about y’all, but it seems to me that things like linked data and 
open access are larger trends in Europe than here in the United States. Is 
there are larger commitment to sharing in Europe when compared to the United 
States? If so, is this a factor based on the nonexistence of a national library 
in the United States? Is this your perception too? —Eric Morgan
