By Laura Akerman, on December 20th, 2012 The Connections pilot project team has now posted a summary of its report to sponsors. We have a number of observations and recommendations for future linked data activity for the Emory Libraries, based on our experience. If you have thoughts and ideas about what we’ve been up to and what directions would be good to focus on in the future, please leave a comment! The Connections linked data interest group in the libraries will get together in early January to gather more input about where we go next.
By Laura Akerman, on December 13th, 2012 John Wang and I recently gave a presentation about the Connections group and the Civil War Pilot, at the CNI Fall Meeting. We had a number of questions and comments from the audience at the end. We had mentioned our struggles to identify best tools to use and to actually use those open source tools. Several IT people in the audience had suggestions for what to use, but among then was, that if we didn’t need to get deeply into ontologies and inference, back end systems specifically designed as triplestores might be unnecessary, and maybe we could accomplish our […]
By Laura Akerman, on October 16th, 2012 At the endpoint of our first pilot, we have mostly learning and behind-the-scenes work to report (no working apps on the web… yet…). But we thought it interesting enough to give an Infoforum presentation at Emory (these are presentations by staff about ongoing projects and interesting topics) .

Also I (Laura) was part of a panel at COMO 2012 with Robin Fay from University of Georgia and Doug Goans from Georgia Tech. I enjoyed hearing Robin’s introductory take on what linked data is and its potential for libraries. Doug’s part […]
By Laura Akerman, on September 28th, 2012 One of the goals of the Civil War pilot is to “create some metadata as linked data”. This has been challenging, because we weren’t able to find (or make) a “linked data making tool” that would be really helpful. (We investigated Protege, but it seemed more designed to manage ontologies than to help you create “instances” using those ontologies.) This seems consistent with the difficulty of finding good general-purpose metadata creation tools that anyone could use, for creating metadata using, e.g., XML schemas, outside of a particular suite of (usually proprietary) software.
As it became apparent we weren’t going to […]
By Laura Akerman, on September 17th, 2012 Now you can check out the project description for our Civil War Pilot project #1 to give you some idea of what we’ve been up to.
We’re sort of starting in the middle with this blog (well, close to the end, actually, at least for the first “pilot”), but I hope to give you some background of our experience and the flavor of the project.
This one is an interesting stew… a first try at transforming, creating, modeling, storing, querying and displaying linked data using open source tools. We had a […]
