Linked Data Initiatives at the National Library of Medicine

In January 2014, following an environmental scan of linked data at peer institutions and a survey of the National Library of Medicine’s (NLM) “datascape,” the Library formed the Linked Data Infrastructure Working Group to investigate the potential for publishing NLM linked data, determine best practices for publishing NLM linked data, and prioritize linked data projects. The Working Group was charged with developing and building an infrastructure for transforming, storing and publishing NLM linked data beginning with transforming the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) as a linked data pilot. This presentation will review the progress of our pilot project to convert MeSH XML to MeSH RDF. We will discuss our collaborative process, the technical and organizational issues we tackled, and the future of linked data at NLM.
