This issue of Library Technology Reports (vol. 49, no. 5) “Library Linked Data: Research and Adoption” focuses on research and practice related to library metadata. In order to more fully understand this world, we also need to consider the work being done in the archival and museum communities. In chapter 1, we lay the foundation for our exploration in libraries, archives, and museums (LAM) and consider the role and impact of this work in the broader world of the Semantic Web, linked data, and data-rich web services. This chapter starts by introducing a model for understanding the component parts of metadata systems and concludes by outlining the process for creating and publishing linked data.
