<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">SWIB conference (Semantic Web in Libraries) is an annual conference, being held for the 10th time, focusing on Linked Open Data (LOD) in libraries and related organizations. It is well established as an event where
IT staff, developers, librarians, and researchers from over the world meet and mingle and learn from each other. The topics of talks and workshops at SWIB revolve around opening data, linking data and creating tools and software for LOD production scenarios.
These areas of focus are supplemented by presentations of research projects in applied sciences, industry applications, and LOD activities in other areas.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
