Stephen Francoeur's Commonplace Book

Pull quote: “What did make more sense to me, and emerged at the end of our day, is envisioning how linked data might well be invisibly integrated into the workflow of libraries. In the same way that a blogger need not know HTML (or much of it) to write a web page, a library documenting upcoming community lectures, educational outings, author talks, and literacy programs might well be describing these events in a linked data format through software tools that remove the intricacy of the RDF syntax. In that way, I could envision libraries building webs of data that really would be useful, creating living calendars and information resources that spring directly out of the community well.”
