DPLAfest 2016: Building Tools with the DPLA API and Developer Showcase
Channel: Digital Public Library of America
Date: 09/05/2016

Developers who have built something using DPLA’s API will share their work in this fast-paced lightning session (5 minutes per presentation). DPLAfest 2016 hackathon participants will also show off their creations during this session. Presentations include: 

EasyRDF and DPLA LOD (Patrick Murray-John)

 This quick lightning talk will describe a project to use the EasyRDF PHP library for parsing data from DPLA. It's in early stages, and I'd like to hear feedback about how it might be used and what problems it could solve for developers. It also raises a question I'd like to hear responses to: To what extent do developers treat the JSON-LD as just JSON versus as the graph structure of RDF that it serializes.

Mediachain (Denis Nazarov)

Mediachain is an open, shared data network for creative works. It makes cross-institutional collaboration and developer reuse of open cultural data simple. This presentation will discuss how shared blockchain infrastructure can foster innovation and realize the promise of open cultural data.
