The International Linked Open Data in Libraries, Archives, and Museums
Summit (LOD-LAM) will be held in San Francisco on 2-3 June 2011.

We are seeking international delegates with either leadership or
technical expertise who are interested in planning the web of the future
for libraries, archives and museums.

The Summit is a two day meeting. No papers will be submitted or read, no
plenaries given, and everyone will participate. Delegates will be asked
to catalyze practical, actionable approaches to publishing Linked Open
Data, specifically:

·Identify the tools and techniques for publishing and working with
Linked Open Data.

     * Draft precedents and policy for licensing and copyright
       considerations regarding the publishing of library, archive, and
       museum metadata.
     * Publish definitions and promote use cases that will give LAM staff
       the tools they need to advocate for Linked Open Data in their
       institutions.

Limited travel grants are available. Ideal candidates will have at least
a working understanding of Linked Open Data, if not some direct
experience with the technology or policies involved. We encourage
applications from individuals with the authority to implement policy or
technology, or to influence decision makers in their institution or sector.

For more information, or to make an application before the end of
February, please see the LOD-LAM site at: http://lod-lam.net/summit/

We hope to see you there.
