*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.
