Hi SJ not yet. I know you’ve inquired about this elsewhere. We will definitely communicate
broadly about remote participation opportunities.

Registration announcement
LD4 Conference on Linked Data in Libraries: May 13-14, 2020

We’re excited to announce that registration for the 2020 LD4 Conference will open on
Wednesday, March 4th. Join us May 13-14 at Texas A&M University in College Station,
Texas, USA to learn concrete ways that linked data benefits GLAM institutions, and
discover pathways to participation in linked data. Please visit the conference web site
(ld4.io)<http://ld4.io> for more details. Wikimedians are most warmly welcome to
attend and participate in this conference!
Whether you have already implemented linked data in your work or are just getting started,
you will leave with a better understanding of what linked data is, how it can be used, and
what you can do to get started or continue to incorporate linked data in your institutions
or projects. By bringing together a broad range of perspectives, and centering diversity,
equity, inclusion, and ethics in our discussions, we will create a community of practice
for linked data in libraries.
We are delighted to have Karen Hwang as our conference kick-off speaker. Karen’s practice
as a metadata professional and archivist is rooted in concerns of discoverability and
representation. She works to promote underrepresented histories through digital
collections, and has explored ways to implement linked open data to enhance and boost the
discovery of cultural heritage resources. Other program highlights include,
"Workshopping Queeries: Linked Data Vocabularies and Ethical Cataloging," “Where
Linked Data Can Impact User Experience: Findings from a Study on Discovery Workflows,”
"’I don't think I'll ever understand linked data’: How to Teach Linked Data
to Our Colleagues,” and “Linking bilingual bibliographic data: a Wikidata-based project of
Chinese writers' archival collections.”
A $100 registration fee will help to cover conference expenses and will include food and
beverages during morning and afternoon breaks as well as a lunch buffet for both
conference days, May 13th and 14th. There will not be an additional registration fee for
pre-conference workshops on March 12th. Thanks to the generous support of the Andrew W.
Mellon Foundation, a limited number of
stipends<https://sites.google.com/stanford.edu/ld42020/stipends> will be available
to make participation possible for those who would not otherwise be able to attend.
We hope that you’ll join us! Please visit conference web site
(ld4.io)<http://ld4.io> for more information. We’ll send out another message on
Wednesday when registration opens.
