Thinking about linking: latest developments in reference linking
Scientific Societies Lecture Theatre, London W1
Tuesday 15th May 2001
If we are ever to realise the true potential of electronic publishing, then primary and secondary publishers, aggregators and intermediaries must co-operate by making it easy for users to move seamlessly between online content. Linking, in all its forms, is at the heart of this co-operation, and developments like CrossRef have illustrated that much has already been achieved. There does however remain tremendous potential for further development, as technological barriers continue to come down and competitors increasingly become collaborators.
This UKSG seminar is aimed at all parties in the information chain who are either seeking to learn about the current status and application of linking technology, or who wish to hear about the exciting developments that are just around the corner. With speakers who are widely regarded as experts in this field, this one-day seminar should prove to be a highly informative and stimulating event.
