Speaker(s): 
Mark Williams, Sara Frug, Dan Blackaby

Law libraries are continuously searching for new ways to add value to their organizations, and institutional repositories have long represented an avenue where such contributions can potentially take place. The application of semantic web technologies to an institutional repository represents another step toward making the platform an active, discoverable research tool rather than a static silo of information.
