CONCLUSION
The NCSU Organization Name Linked Data proved to be an excellent linked data pilot project. The project was completed in a relatively short time frame with a small team,and tools were created that can be applied to future projects.The project team also established successful workflows that will be used in later projects, such as managing the clean-up efforts for the source data in an Access database and running parallel processes. The NCSU project team is already in the planning stages for future linked data initiatives, and we plan to bring the tools we have built and the knowledge we have gained to help the GOKb developers to expose the contents of GOKb as linked data.
The NCSU project team is also looking forward to learning from others in the community as more libraries share their linked data projects and the methods they used for creating them, which will hopefully encourage even more libraries to get involved. In these beginning stages of linked data,
library staff have an excellent opportunity to influence the development of best practices in linked data publishing if we become prolific creators and users of linked data. The library
community should share their expertise in authority control and metadata management and help make their data and the resources in collections an important part of the evolving Semantic Web. Librarians working with serials are particulady well versed in managing data from multiple sources,
such as commercial knowledgebases and integrated library systems, and could easily transfer those skills to managing linked data sets. Even more important is linked data's potential to transform serials management by making it easier for various stakeholders to share and update publication information with much less time and effort than is currently required. These factors make linked data worthy of the serials community's attention, even in the early days of this technology.
