We’re excited to announce that registration for the 2025 LD4 Conference
<https://sites.google.com/view/2025-ld4-conference/home> is now open! Join
us virtually 28-30 July, 2025, to learn about the way professionals in
Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums (GLAM) are implementing and
maintaining their linked data initiatives. View conference sessions on
the Sched
event page <https://2025ld4.sched.com/>. The LD4 2025 Conference is held
virtually, and participation is free for all attendees.
If you’re just getting started, you will leave with a better understanding
of linked data and how people are integrating this work into their
practical workflows. If you have already implemented linked data
initiatives, continue to expand your work and get inspired by insights from
experienced practitioners.

Some of us tried it out already. It's fun, intuitive and you can even learn
something.
+ It takes approximately 15 minutes :)
Here is the link to the card sort:
