Since 2014, Cornell University Library (CUL) has been collaborating with
Harvard and Stanford Universities on Linked Data for Libraries (LD4L), an
Andrew W. Mellon Foundation funded initiative to model and produce library
data as linked data. In this talk, Kovari will review the efforts
undertaken in LD4L and discuss on-going work at CUL to further model and
produce library data as linked data, including leading a community effort
for a rare materials ontology extension, testing native RDF original
cataloging and experimenting with cross-collection authority creation and
maintenance using a local triplestore.

Library; in this role, he directs the efforts of the metadata unit and
