Working Group B, led by Kristi Holmes, PhD, Director, Galter Health Sciences Library at Northwestern University, and Mike Taylor, Senior Product Manager, Informetrics at Elsevier, is focused on the Output Types & Identifiers within the alternative metrics landscape. Speakers participating in this free event, to be held on November 16 from 11 am to 1 pm (ET) will highlight examples of the work being done in this area: ?

NISO/NFAIS December 2 Virtual Conference: Semantic Web: What's New and Cool Message-ID: *NISO/NFAIS December 2 Virtual Conference: Semantic Web: What's New and Cool * Virtual conferences are 5-6 hour conferences held online in webinar-like formats, with occasional breaks in the schedule for participants. The longer length allows the depth of coverage of a conference coupled with the convenience of a webinar. *Date: Wednesday, December 2, 2015* *Time: 11:00 am - 5:00 pm Eastern* *Event webpage: * http://www.niso.org/news/events/2015/virtual_conferences/sem_web/ *ABOUT THE VIRTUAL CONFERENCE* Everything about information resources and tools seems to be in a transitional state. We are building a new kind of digital information environment, dubbed the Semantic Web. This event looks at a spectrum of approaches adopted in developing semantically-enhanced information resources and provides attendees with a better sense of the rate of speed at which this community is moving to achieve the Semantic Web. Presenters will talk about the semantic web landscape, the role linked open data plays in this environment, and current projects underway that demonstrate how the semantic web impacts the library and information community, and what experts in the wider communities are doing to achieve those goals. *CONFIRMED TOPICS & SPEAKERS* * Keynote Address: Matt Turner, Chief Technical Officer, Media and Entertainment, MarkLogic Corporation * International Cultural Informatics Collaborations: Crossing Borders Without Crossing Swords - J.
