Richard Wallis is a technology evangelist who works on semantic technologies and linked data. He gave a presentation in June 2012 about cultural linked data and how libraries, archives, and museums can help provide the backbone of information on the Web of Data, similar to how they have historically served as the backbone of information for centuries in other formats.
