Subject: [libraries] 2019 LD4 Conference: Call for Participation

*Call for Participation*
*LD4 Conference*
*2019 May 10-11*
*Boston, Massachusetts, USA*
Linked data promises to expose the richness of library collections to the
world, and to open up new pathways to knowledge based on previously
unlinked data. After a decade of experimentation and pilot projects, what
are the next steps to move to large-scale production of linked data? How
can the library community learn from and contribute to other communities
who are working toward similar goals? The 2019 LD4 Conference, to be held
May 10-11 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, aims to bring practitioners
together to collaborate on creating pathways to implementation of linked
data in libraries.
The Program Committee invites interested practitioners to apply to
participate in this event. We especially encourage applications from
participants from groups and regions that are traditionally
underrepresented in conferences related to libraries and linked data, as
well as applications from early career professionals.
“Participation” can take many forms:
- delivering a presentation on current work
- giving a lightning talk
- leading a hands-on tutorial
- demonstrating a tool
- working on a defined project in collaborative environment
- facilitating a working session
- engaging in an in-depth discussion session
- and more
The Program Committee will select participants and will design the agenda
based on the applications received.
Thanks to the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, there is
no registration fee for this conference, and a limited number of stipends
are available to make participation possible for those who would not
otherwise be able to attend.
To apply to participate (in any of the ways listed above, including
attending and engaging but not presenting or leading) please complete
the Application
to Participate
<https://stanforduniversity.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3PHrZv1egoVwdJr> (which
includes the funding application) by February 1, 2019. The Program
Committee will notify applicants of decisions (including funding) by
February 28, 2019.
