Libraries are investing a great deal of effort in exploring the promise of linked data. In this session Simeon Warner and Adam Chandler will take a step back and consider some of the pitfalls and challenges: how linked data changes our assumptions and the way we need to look at problems; what it makes easier and what it makes harder; as yet unsolved problems in representing knowledge as linked data, including ones we didn't have before; how we can understand and assess its impact on our users; and how we know when a linked data strategy has succeeded.
