Chapter 4 of Library Technology Reports (vol. 49, no. 5) “Library Linked Data: Research and Adoption” takes a broad view of the concepts explored in chapters 1–3 in considering current research and practice in the library metadata community, particularly in relation to the development of new LOD systems and the incorporation of existing metadata into those systems. In order to ground the exploration, this chapter uses as its data source the notes and transcripts from an April 2013 NISO meeting for the Bibliographic Roadmap Project. This data was analyzed using a qualitative content analysis approach with the goal of identifying metadata trends and themes as well as community attitudes and perspectives.
