In 2026, the LD4 Steering Committee is thrilled to announce that we will begin accepting applications on a rolling basis for two $500 awards to individuals with accepted conference proposals related to furthering linked data initiatives in libraries, museums, or archives and meet eligibility criteria. Our aim is to support ongoing presentations and work around linked open data; since our conference is free of charge, we want to incentivize our community to attend conferences that have costs to help make presenting about linked data more accessible, especially if it is not directly related to their current role or position. This award is made possible by our conference sponsors: @Cult/Casalini Libri, EBSCO, Ex Libris/Clarivate, and OCLC.
Details to be announced in early 2026, check back soon!
