In the four years since the Library of Congress launched the BIBFRAME
project, a tremendous amount of progress has been made in transferring
traditional bibliographic information into new structures that are more
grounded in linked-data and web-centric principles. This virtual conference
will explore implementations of BIBFRAME data, and related approaches to
sharing and interacting with it. Speakers will address active projects
based on linked data and how those services are improving interactions and
discovery of information resources.



Confirmed speakers include: *Shana McDanold*, Georgetown University; *Carolyn
Hansen*, University of Cincinnati; *Ted Lawless*, Thomson Reuters; *Michael
Lauruhn*, Elsevier; *Tim Thompson*, Princeton University; *Eric Miller*,
Zepheira; and *Carl Stahmer*, University of California-Davis.



NISO virtual conferences are six-hour events that are held online in a
webinar-like format. Two breaks (one for lunch, one mid-afternoon) for the
comfort and convenience of attendees are scheduled into the day. You’ll get
the time to adequately examine a complex topic from a variety of
perspectives with the convenience of virtual participation!

Registration is per site (access for one computer) and closes at 4:00pm
