- Talis is a leading UK supplier of integrated library systems and education resources management software.
- The presentation discusses how library authorities can serve as hubs in the linked data web by encoding metadata in RDF and linking to other datasets using common ontologies.
- By openly publishing linked authority data and making it queryable with SPARQL, libraries can leverage their authoritative information to enrich the global linked data cloud.
