Introduction to Linked Data for Libraries (Live Online)
Linked Open Data is a feature of the Semantic Web that has been gaining attention in recent years. "Linked Data" refers to data published in accordance with principles designed to facilitate linkages among all kinds of resources on the
Web; it goes beyond hypertext links between documents to include links to anything that has identity, such as people, controlled vocabularies, geographic places, etc. Linked Data opens up the wealth of resources in libraries and exposes it to the wider world
of the Web, enabling sharing and reusability. This class provides an introduction to the principles of Linked Data, the methods of making data available in such a form, and illustrates interesting applications that libraries are developing. https://www.lyrasis.org/Pages/EventDetail.aspx?Eid=FE058B10-87E7-E411-88A4-002219586F0D

Introduction to METS (Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard) (Live Online)
This class introduces the features of METS and how it is used as an information package to include metadata and digital content. It describes the parts of a METS document, how different metadata schemes are used with it, and how it is implemented
in digital library projects. It also addresses the purpose and creation of METS application profiles, which detail best practices for specific implementations.
