The document discusses linked data and its use in libraries. It describes how linked data can make implicit information explicit by using vocabularies and ontologies. Linked data takes advantage of web standards to better describe resources and make them easier to find. It addresses the need for a "library shaped hole" on the internet and the benefits of moving library data out of silos and enabling reuse through a MARC replacement like BIBFRAME. Challenges in transforming data and transitioning to new terminology are also discussed.
