Abstract / Description of output

The mission of the W3C Library Linked Data Incubator Group, chartered from May 2010 through August 2011, has been "to help increase global interoperability of library data on the Web, by bringing together people involved in Semantic Web activities — focusing on Linked Data — in the library community and beyond, building on existing initiatives, and identifying collaboration tracks for the future." In Linked Data, data is expressed using standards such as the Resource Description Framework (RDF), which specifies relationships between things, and Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs, or "Web addresses").

This report on datasets, value vocabularies and metadata elements sets is a complement to the main report of the group. Based on the data gathered in the use cases and with additions from the expert group, this document provides a summary of the current state of Linked Data building blocks, in particular those most related to library Linked Data efforts.
