SISLT is hosting the following NISO webinar and we’re invited:
Schema.org and Linked Data: Complementary Approaches to Publishing Data
April 25, 2012
Noon- 1:30 p.m.
Place TBD (check with Felicity if you haven’t heard before the date)
From the website: Schema.org — a collaboration of the Google, Yahoo!, and Bing search engines — provides a way to include structured data in Web pages. Since its introduction in June 2011, the Schema.org vocabulary has grown to cover descriptive terms for content such as movies, music, organizations, TV shows, products, locations, news items, and job listings. The goal of Schema.org is “to improve the display of search results, making it easier for people to find the right web pages.” The Schema.org initiative has emerged as a focal point for publishers of structured data in Web pages, especially but not exclusively in the commercial sector.
This webinar will explore how the publication methods of Schema.org relate to the methods used to publish Linked Data. Must data providers commit to one or the other, or can the two approaches exist side-by-side, even reinforcing each other?
