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/

135 - The Once and Future Linked Open Data feat. Dorothea and Jonny | librarypunk

The gang talks about linked open data. What did we learn in library school? What’s the future? Where does it fall off a cliff?  Media mentioned https://www.hillelwayne.com/post/graph-types/ The Ethics of Sustaining Linked Data Infrastructure https://scholarsphere.psu.edu/resources/430f30bf-e029-483d-b1c8-d7e9bb430a8e  Aaron Swartz unfinished book https://web.archive.org/web/20220512132144/https://www.morganclaypool.com/doi/abs/10.2200/S00481ED1V01Y201302WBE005  Tim Berners Lee https://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Overview.html https://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/RDFnot.html https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/111938123937338008 https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/111939286501257910  https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/111731459659839112  https://jon-e.net/surveillance-graphs/#knowledge-graphs-a-backbone-in-the-surveillance-economy  http://microblogging.infodocs.eu/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/publishing_bnb_as_lod.pdf  https://www.oclc.org/en/news/releases/2024/20240507-introducing-oclc-meridian.html Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/zzEpV9QEAG Transcript (plaintext): https://pastecode.io/s/qundkp0n

@jonny @dsalo
:D That's such a cool topic!
It reminds me of getting lost in the weeds looking into Resource Description Framework and other formal ontology languages used in information science and libraries. It's one of my favorite intersections between library science and computer science!
@jonny @dsalo I started listening to it last night (it's long and I'm gonna finish it today :p) and it's a good one!
@jonny @dsalo I had to put on my #HackaLOD hoodie to listen to this episode. I feel I had a nuanced view on #LOD already, but you mentioned things I didn't know yet and will explore the resources. (I wonder if rel:hasBeefWith rdf:type owl:SymmetricProperty 🤓)
