SWIB (Semantic Web in Libraries) is a community and an annual conference, this year being held for the 17th time. SWIB25 will happen online to ensure inclusion of as many participants as possible while minimizing the ecological footprint of the conference.
SWIB focuses 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 all 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.
