SWIB24 – 16th Semantic Web in Libraries Conference
25 – 27 November 2024, online
SWIB conference (Semantic Web in Libraries) is an annual conference, being held for the 16th time. SWIB24 will happen online to ensure inclusion of as many participants as possible while minimizing the ecological footprint of the conference. An online forum serves as communication space for SWIB24 and future conferences.
SWIB focuses on Linked Open Data (LOD) in libraries and related organizations. It is well established as an event where IT staff, developers, librarians, and researchers from all over the world meet and mingle and learn from each other. The topics of talks and workshops at SWIB revolve around opening data, linking data and creating tools and software for LOD production scenarios. These areas of focus are supplemented by presentations of research projects in applied sciences, industry applications, and LOD activities in other areas.
As usual, SWIB24 will be organized by the North Rhine-Westphalian Library Service Centre (hbz) and ZBW – Leibniz Information Centre for Economics. The conference language is English.
