Dear Arlisians,
The Caroline Backlund Award Committee of the D.C./Md./Va. Chapter of ARLIS/NA is pleased to announce the 2014 winner of the Backlund Professional Development Award, intended to support attendance at the annual ARLIS/NA conference. This year's recipient is Daniel Moore, of Virginia Beach, Va.
Dan will present a poster, “Leveraging the Semantic Web: An Exploration of Linked Data.” Dan writes, "The virtues of Linked Data can open up surprising and rewarding enterprises for art librarians and visual resource curators. My poster is a first step in exploring these new avenues as I seek to contribute new tools to activate scholarly research in the arts and the humanities."
Please join us in congratulating Dan, and be sure to view his poster at the conference - coming up in less than two months here in Washington!
