Call for Proposals: LD4 2025 Conference - Linked Data in the Real World

Conference Dates: 28-30 July, 2025 (online)

Submission deadline: May 30, 2025

Submission form: https://forms.gle/61reaRvXWrS6bbUx5

There’s still time to submit a proposal for the LD4 2025 Conference! If you've been thinking about contributing, we’d love to hear from you.

The LD4 2025 Conference invites proposals for presentations, lightning talks, and workshops that highlight the real-world applications of linked data in GLAM institutions (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums).

Possible topics could include:

-

From pilot to production - the life cycle of a linked data project -

Building sustainable and scalable linked data workflows -

Strengthening connections through linked data -

Project how-tos and case studies

We encourage you to submit a proposal for any of these session formats:

-

10 minute lightning talks -

30 minute presentations (inclusive of a Q&A portion) -

Workshops (longer form how-to's, show & tell, and participatory sessions)

We are especially encouraging proposals from participants from groups and regions that are traditionally underrepresented in conferences related to linked data in libraries and other cultural heritage organizations, as well as proposals from early career professionals. Successful proposals will focus on concrete ways that linked data is used in GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) institutions, and will share pathways that allow others to participate in linked data.

The conference is an initiative of the LD4 Community http://ld4.io. The conference is free of charge, and we will reach back out to let everyone know when registration is open. You can see up-to-date information on the 2025 LD4 Conference Website https://sites.google.com/view/2025-ld4-conference/home.
