The eleventh international conference “Semantic Web in Libraries” brought together more than 160 participants from 26 countries. The first keynote by Saskia Scheltjens, Head of Research Services at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, bridged the gap between the worlds of libraries and museums. Marcia Zeng, professor of Information Science at Kent State University (USA), used her keynote to build a connection between the much-hyped topic of Big/Smart Data and knowledge organisation in libraries and digital humanities.
More than 160 participants from Europe, Asia, North America and Africa, numerous onlookers via livestream, active debates on Twitter at #swib19: that’s the final score of the international conference “Semantic Web in Libraries” 2019. The programme consisted of five workshops on the pre-conference day and 16 presentations on the main days. The technical developments on show once again offered promising new ways of easing and improving access to the collections of libraries and other memory institutions. Participants also used lightning talks and breakout sessions to put up their latest developments and ideas for discussion.
