I am looking for examples of library patron facing systems or services that are enabled by LOD.  Right, if the system is well designed, then one might not be able to tell how it was built.  That's why I am asking my colleagues to point me at these systems.  On the other hand, given all the work required to migrate libraries to LOD (see BIBFRAME) as some advocate, shouldn't we expect that new types of user experiences will be possible in return? 

Here is what people have sent on or off the list so far:

- http://oregondigital.org/sets/building-or/oregondigital:df66vh18m
- http://datos.bne.es
- http://civilwaronthewesternborder.org/content/relationship-viewer
- https://linkedjazz.org/
- http://colonialarchitecture.eu/node/15
- http://socialarchive.iath.virginia.edu/xtf/search

Thanks,
Adam

This is a good point.  Our DAMS (http://library.ucsd.edu/dc/) uses RDF, and there are link headers advertising the fact that you can add .rdf to our object and collection pages to get the RDF/XML for them.  But there isn't a lot in the UI that would tell you that.
