Lynnsey Weissenberger. LITMUS: Irish Traditional Music and Linked Data 
This presentation covers current work related to the EU-funded LITMUS (Linked Irish Traditional Music) project at the Irish Traditional Music Archive (ITMA) in Dublin, Ireland. LITMUS is a two-year effort to create linked data tools specific to the needs of Irish traditional music and dance. These linked data tools included the first ontology specific to Irish traditional song, instrumental music and dance as well as two bi-lingual thesauri for traditional instruments and tune types.  In this presentation, I will focus on linked data considerations particular to Irish and other traditional musics, and how these challenges were met within the context of the LITMUS project . Examples drawn from LITMUS will illustrate over-arching concepts related to linked data relationships in music and consider future directions for such work. 
Steven Folsom. A Pragmatic approach to Using Discogs in an RDF Copy Cataloging Workflow
This presentation will describe steps taken to integrate Discogs as a copy cataloging source in an RDF cataloging tool for describing Sinatra 45 RPM vinyl records. Because Discogs does not natively offer its data as RDF it might not seem as an obvious choice for use; why and how this data was chosen for conversion to RDF in this particular project will be provided, along will lessons learned about generalizing this workflow.
