Practical Cataloguing Webinar 3: Linked Data, Ontologies and Entity Reconciliation

Date: Thursday 16th October 2025, 1-2 pm

Linked data introduces a lot of new terms and concepts that can feel overwhelming. This webinar provides a clear, accessible introduction to the language and concepts of linked data, helping metadata professionals gain confidence in navigating this evolving landscape.

In this session you will:

• Make sense of linked data and ontology terminology helping you to navigate for example, the RDA Toolkit.
• Learn how you can bring URIs into your MARC data using entity reconciliation in OpenRefine and MarcEdit.

No prior experience is required.
