Martin Marlmsten is from the LIBRIS department of the Royal Library of Sweden – LIBRIS being the discovery interface for the library. Since joining as a software developer has been absorbed in to the world of library search and discovery. He played a major part in the build and launch of the latest LIBRIS search interface which has introduced under the surface some Semantic Web and Linked Data features. We discuss his career, the use of User Centered Design & Iterative Development methodologies, the Semantic Web techniques and technologies he used, and their future applicability to the library domain. Items discussed in our conversation: LIBRIS User-centered design and the next generation OPAC – a perfect match? RDF / Linked Data representations of cataloged data via LIBRIS: URI for the Royal Library - http://libris.kb.se/resource/library/S URI for the subject heading "Mödrar" (Mothers in English) - http://libris.kb.se/resource/auth/154863 URI for August Strindberg - http://libris.kb.se/resource/auth/94541 URI for the book "The difference Engine" - http://libris.kb.se/resource/bib/5060570 The book "The difference Engine" in OpenLink RDF browser - http://demo.openlinksw.com/DAV/JS/rdfbrowser/index.html?uri=http%3A%2F%2Flibris.kb.se%2Fresource%2Fbib%2F5060570 Cool URIs for the Semantic Web Listen Now Download MP3 [44 mins, 40Mb] Technorati Tags: Royal Library of Sweden,LIBRIS,Linked Data,Semantic Web,Library,Talis,Podcast

The next UK general election is probably only a couple of years away and there is a serious possibility that we could see a change of governing party. Against this background Ed Vaizey, Conservative MP for Wantage & Didcot and Shadow Minister for Culture is beginning to shape his thoughts and future policy with respect to libraries. This podcast conversation, recorded in Ed Vaizey's office in the Houses of Parliament, explores Ed's thinking as to the way Government should influence library services provided by local authorities; is the MLA as an organisation the appropriate way to promote libraries at a national level; and even is the Department of Culture the right place for libraries to be represented. With a guest appearance of Big Ben, chiming the hour, this is an interesting insight into the thoughts of a senior opposition politician on the future of libraries.
