ABOUT THE WEBINAR

A seminar at the British Library in April 2012
<http://dcevents.dublincore.org/index.php/BibData/fyo>  marked the fifth
anniversary of a 2007 meeting at which representatives of the Dublin Core,
Semantic Web, and RDA communities jointly recommended that the then-draft
cataloging standard RDA be provided in the form of vocabularies and
application profiles usable for Linked Data.

One year after this anniversary meeting and one year closer to the general
deployment of RDA in libraries, this webinar will take stock of progress
towards developing application profiles based on RDA and discuss the
practicalities of exposing RDA-based data in the Linked Data cloud.
