Abstract

Presentation by Pru Mitchell and Les Kneebone for the Australian Committee on Cataloguing (ACOC) Seminar: Link by link: data integration and the evolving web held on 1 November 2013. Australia is implementing a machine-readable school curriculum published as RDF. Curriculum objectives are described using concepts from the Schools Online Thesaurus (ScOT), a subject vocabulary used in education metadata and school library catalogues since 2003. This presentation uses the experience of several Education Services Australia metadata projects to highlight the benefits and challenges for libraries entering the world of linked data.
