Interoperable Collaborations
The LOD and Interoperability SIWGs have begun to discuss ways to work together more closely. It is neither possible nor desirable to separate concerns about API-Level interoperability and RESTful interfaces from concerns about Data-Level Interoperability and Linked Open Data.
To this end, our SIWG Working Body’s have begun quarterly joint calls and are pursuing shared planning of activities starting with Developers Day at IGeLU 2015. Consider staying for an extra day and joining us on Saturday, September 5.

Since the last News in Brief, we’ve heard two new use cases:
- On December 16, 2014l, we heard from Dr Arif Shaon, Library, University of New South Wales (UNSW) Australia on Publishing UNSW research output as Linked Open Data via Primo.
- On January 26, 2015, we heard from staff at the Mountain West Digital Library and from the Digital Public Library of Ameica on Harvesting metadata from Primo into another database using BriefSearch API.
