A few weeks ago @dsalo and I sat down with #LibraryPunk to answer Sadie's question "what is linked data?" and had a nice chat about the history of linked data and the semantic web, problems, ethics, and hopes for the future. I had been wanting to hear Dorothea's perspective for awhile about the status of LD in libraries, especially what went wrong and how it collides with existing practices and the copyright cartels that control a lot of bibliometric metadata, and I learned a lot :). I won't be listening to it because hearing myself talk about anything makes me cringe too hard to exist, so feel free to roast me on anything i said.

Lovely people, potentially interesting to some of y'all on here: https://www.librarypunk.gay/e/135-the-once-and-future-linked-open-data-feat-dorothea-and-jonny/

@tb Thank you for you elaborate answer and all the concrete examples, super interesting indeed! the reason I asked is because I do have a general interest for knowledge/information organization/management that incl. bibliographic practices and a I'm a complete sucker for 'search' tech and methods— metadata playing a pivotal role (off topic: also in terms of the question: how to produce good relations? or not reproducing oppressive ones.) When I saw your toot I got real curious.

Really cool to hear that there was such meaningful response to your question!

While reading just a little before you mentioned William S. Burroughs, a podcast episode on John Bagford from #LibraryPunk came to mind.
https://www.librarypunk.gay/e/060-secure-the-bagford/ I think you might like it :) although its before the period that the genre of the sourcebook emerged in, Bagford lived between 1650-1716.

Cultural appropriation, erasure, the British empire and industrial revolution (I'm a little lost here.. and filling in..) as the conditions that had a great influence on how information was produced expressed and organized? in terms how those conditions shaped/influenced in part the datasets that natural language models are now trained on??

060 - Secure the Bagford | librarypunk

This week we have Whitney Trettien to talk about John Bagford, a biblioclast of the early modern period and how changes in technology and access shape our interaction with information and its formats.  https://twitter.com/whitneytrettien “Cover” in “Cut/Copy/Paste” on Manifold @uminnpress  Media mentioned John Bagford, bibliophile or biblioclast? - Medieval manuscripts blog The Bagford Collection | British Library - Picturing Places  Eros in the library: Considering the aesthetics of knowledge organization | Art Libraries Journal | Cambridge Core

Listening to the #librarypunk episode with Cory Doctorow. It's amazing for all the expected reasons, of course. But one thing that touched me deep in my soul was Cory talking with the hosts about why leftists should care about rent seeking and theories of it. I have, for a long time, staked my career on linking #publicchoice and #criticaltheory // #antioppressivepractice. It was so heartening to see Cory engaging in praxis that links oppression and regulatory capture.
