Martin Malmsten is a developer/architect/technical lead at the National Library of Sweden. He works with many aspects of LIBRIS[1], the Swedish union catalog. He created the linked data interface to LIBRIS[2] to experiment with RDF (Resource Description Framework) and linking to other datasets. Malmsten is interested in how libraries continually re-link vast datasets. He believes that making information available to anyone is what libraries are about, and he supports linking to information using technologies created/used outside the library community. Miriam Safstrom is the metadata coordinator for the National Library of Sweden and works closely with Malmsten.
