Keep it growing

Really, we can’t fix everything

For facts and for meaning

Domain experts and enthusiasts know more than we do And have more resources to devote to understanding of specific resources

Our value is in connections and curation And facilitating new knowledge by others

We don’t “own” the information ecosystem

We must do what it takes to scale up to current and future volumes of data

We will be increasingly reliant on others

For users: To mine usage data to provide more relevant and authoritative discovery To start from the most relevant information and provide easy means for quick

expansion To coherently display conflicting information

For cataloguers: To flag dead ends for review and action To mine and show candidate connections for review To highlight potentially conflicting information To hide complexity (URIs, etc)

We will be increasingly reliant on systems

Page 14: The Future of Cataloguing? Future Cataloguers! Jenn Riley Associate Dean, Digital Initiatives, McGill University jenn.riley@mcgill.ca @jenlrile.

The data and systems are all in the cloud

Library-based discovery less important but likely still around for a while

Several ways systems can navigate the graph Crawling Dereferencing Query federation (See http://linkeddatabook.com/editions/1.0/#htoc84)

So how will Linked Data systems work?

Creativity

Judgment

Quick analysis

Ability to see patterns

Good technical instincts

Trust

What skills are needed in the future for cataloguers?
