The Future

Architects are no more successful at predicting the future than astrologers or soothsayers. Human beings are quick to adapt to new realities and development does not go in a straight line; they can have – from a Modernist perspective – a perverse attachment to traditions that bring the past into the present. If timelessness means the sense of stepping outside time and change that comes from ignoring passing fashions, we must look to tradition rather than Modernism.

For the past few years, librarians have heard how Linked Data will be the future of bibliographic data. Linked Data for Libraries, Archives, and Museums: How to Clean, Link and Publish Your Metadata tries to make sense of the hype. The goal of this book is to introduce “the process of making your collections available, from the arduous processes of cleaning and connecting to publishing it for the world” (xiv). Specifically, this book describes metadata standards including Linked Data, associated tools and technologies, and the sustainability of metadata and technologies. The authors critically evaluate various options that can be used to clean, enrich, and publish metadata along with the history, advantages, and disadvantages of each.
