Linked data is a different way for our bibliographic data to interact with the data available on the Web. It has the potential to enhance the information we already provide, make it easier for us to provide that information and allow libraries to integrate themselves better with other information sources on the web. The main concepts of linked data are introduced the potential for law librarians to begin contributing in this area is considered.
