The LD4 Rare Materials Affinity Group (RMAG) is seeking Broad community input regarding where to focus our efforts as we begin modelling linked data profiles for rare materials cataloging. These profiles will be largely based on the Art and Rare Materials (ARM) ontology extension and created in the Sinopia stage environment. They are intended to help catalogers gain hands-on experience in linked data cataloging and template creation, and to inform the further development of ARM and other linked data standards and practices. Please complete the survey by July 8, 2022.

 RMAG seeks to make use of the collective expertise across the member and cohort institutions to discuss needs and challenges particular to rare materials, and to coordinate the development of resources to support our work. If you are interested in participating in or following the work of RMAG, please join our google group [log in to unmask] and our Slack channel ld4.slack.com#rareaffinitygrp.
