We need not wait for the wholesale redesign of metadata and workflows to semantic web and linked data technologies in order to begin taking advantage of their design principles. This talk will show how metadata organized and presented in ways that encourage sharing, widespread reuse, and broad collaboration organized around community "hubs" can significantly improve resource discovery as well as other library services and information needs.

While standard linked data formats and interfaces can aid in metadata reuse and maintenance, more general …

Why does the scientific community need a simple method for letting each of us know that we are allowed legally to build on the work and data products of each other without asking permission?
