NISO Virtual Conference:



*BIBFRAME & Real World Applications of Linked Bibliographic Data*

*Wednesday, June 15, 2016, 11:00 A.M.-5:00 P.M., EDT*



In the four years since the Library of Congress launched the BIBFRAME
project, a tremendous amount of progress has been made in transforming
traditional bibliographic information into new structures that are more
grounded in linked data and web-centric principles.  This virtual
conference will explore implementations of BIBFRAME data and related
approaches to sharing and interacting with it. Speakers will address active
projects based on linked data and how those services are improving
interactions and discovery of information resources.
