I don't understand the publish it and they will come mentality when it
comes to linked data. If you can't define a clear use case for your own
data infrastructure, then I can't see how you would justify the time spent.
The making data available to the world at large is a nice byproduct,

Per Laura's message, and what I think was the underlying idea behind Mike's
post, I think there's still a great opportunity to learn something new.
Perhaps you might want to look at WebSocket [0], and Jason Ronallo's
presentation from Code4lib 2014 [1] was a great intro. It seems like this

And a further thought: I thought part of the point of linked data is that
we don't really know what people might want to do with our data. Who
knows--maybe there is some enterprising CS student on your campus who will
make an awesome app using your real-time availability data. Maybe once
you've
Also, note that Martin Malmsten, of the Norwegian National Library
(whose catalog is a linked data catalog) always states that one of the
advantages of LD is that the difference between inside resources and
outside resources disappears. It's all just linked resources. It makes
sense to start

I agree with others saying linked data is overkill here. If you don't have
an audience in mind or a specific purpose for implementing linked data,
it's not worth it.

Fedora 4 (https://github.com/fcrepo4/fcrepo4/releases) is based on the
Linked Data Platform standard (http://www.w3.org/TR/ldp/). This enables you
to just push linked data to it (using curl or the ldp gem in ruby, more
languages to follow) and it's published. It's quite easy if you can get

I'm puzzled about why you want to use linked data for this. At first glance
the requirement simply seems to be to fetch data from your ILS server,
which likely could be sent in any number of simple packages that don't
require an RDF wrapper. If you are the only one consuming this data then
you can
I agree with Roy. Seems like something that could be easily handled with
PHP or Python scripts. Someone on the list may even have a homegrown
solution (improved duct tape) they would be happy to share. I fail to see
what the project has to do with linked data or why you would go that route.
