Mellon Foundation funded initiative to model and produce library data as linked data. In this talk, Kovari will review the efforts undertaken in LD4L and discuss on-going work at CUL to further model and produce library data as linked data, including leading a community effort for a rare materials ontology extension, testing native RDF original cataloging and experimenting with cross-collection authority creation and maintenance using a local triplestore. *About the Presenter* Jason Kovari serves as Head of Metadata Services at Cornell University Library; in this role, he directs the efforts of the metadata unit and consults on metadata issues for a wide variety of projects, including those of discovery, data modeling, preservation and linked data. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Tamara L.
