Please join us for an exciting two days of workshops, presentations and discussion on Linked Open Data in Cultural Heritage. Linked Open Data in Libraries, Archives and Museums (LODLAM) is gaining prominence in the cultural heritage community and especially amongst memory institutions as it promises to profoundly impact the way resources are discovered and accessed. Linked Open Data is integral to ensuring that local collections are globally discoverable and shareable.The Linked Open Data in Cultural Heritage Workshop (#LODLAMTO) is a two-day event taking place on May 12-13, 2016 at Ryerson University (map) and York University (May 13) in Toronto. It’s a great opportunity to learn about and get some practical experience with Linked Open Data (LOD). The first day is focused on training workshops with a track for beginners and another track for participants with more experience. During the second day participants will have the opportunity to discuss topics of interest, give short presentations and work together with data.
