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.

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/
