We’d like to invite libraries in Europe, Middle East, and Africa to this linked data and OCLC Meridian webinar.

As libraries continue to focus on new ways to facilitate the creation and sharing of knowledge, and as the volume and variety of information increases, metadata and metadata expertise is more important than ever. Evolving library data into linked data frees the knowledge in library collections and connects it to the knowledge streams that inform our everyday lives.

With the launch of OCLC Meridian in May 2024, Rachel Broadbent, Senior Library Services Consultant, will provide an overview of OCLC’s linked data strategy, what’s currently available as part of WorldCat Entities, and a live demo of Meridian, an intuitive web application and set of APIs that allows libraries to create, curate, and connect linked data entities. Rachel will also consider what this means for you and your library.

This session will be recorded. If you are unable to attend but would like a copy of the recording, please still register, as we will only be making the recording available to those who registered.

Join us to learn more about linked data, Meridian, and what it could mean for your library.
