I originally started to write this post in reaction to a thread on the BIBFRAME email list in March 2015 entitled “Linked Data”. In reaction to this thread I wanted to write something on what I saw as the potential for Linked Data in libraries, which I felt went beyond the issues generally brought up in the thread (with a couple of notable exceptions). However, other things got in the way, and it wasn’t until I was invited to speak at an event on Linked Data and Libraries organised by OCLC that I managed to find the time to flesh out my thoughts. The following post is based on the talk I gave at that event which was on 22nd May 2015.
