Actionwhat can you do to begin actively learning

We believe that everyone benefits from the visibility of libraries and their content on the Web, and we feel this problem can be addressed in a relatively short timeframe.
Learning, Leading, Linking• Build on existing investments• Use BIBFRAME to reflect content in the Web• Leverage the Web’s cooperative infrastructure • Accelerate and support libraries’ cooperative nature• Link between shared assets to test impact on search results• Help the Web understand libraries
Incremental Steps
1. Make it extremely easy to project Library data to Linked Data (BIBFRAME)
2. Start with Visibility – publish to the Web in a way the Web understands– Relationships! – RDFa (schema.org, BIBFRAME)
3. Increase discoverability– accelerate linking among / across assets
4. Learn! Inform! Educate! Iterate!
