Can we make our data more rich to increase content usability?
Þ Adding conference information to our metadata in a structured way and
Þ Provide conference information as Linked Data

Why a Linked Data Pilot
• Additional value proposition for conference authors and conference organizers• more readers• more downloads• more citations
• Increase in traffic, submissions, conference attendance, etc.
• Collaboration with research community• Collaboration with library community (library linked data initiatives) and
offering also libraries better data services• Internal planning (where conferences move, etc.)
• ...we don’t know yet

How this relates to Open Data in Education
• Contributes to transparency in science (Open Science?)
• which peer review process used?
• how many papers each PC member reviewed?
• number of accepted/submitted papers?
• Contributes to research evaluation and certification: conference/university/research group ratings
• Linked up science – adding more relations to Open Data about publications
