Abstract
ABSTRACT The MARC format ushered in the age of automation for libraries. However, the standard is dated. The Library of Congress began developing BIBFRAME, a linked data ontology, five years ago to supplant this aging standard. BIBFRAME isn't merely a replacement for MARC; it is the dawn of a new age of automation. Coupled with improved search engines and the open access movement, linked data can revolutionize the way all libraries do business. This article provides an overview of linked data technologies, surveys the early results of a linked data initiative, and argues for the adoption of this technology in law libraries.
