11. Really, we can’t fix everything https://xkcd.com/386/

12.  For facts and for meaning  Domain experts and enthusiasts know more than we do  And have more resources to devote to understanding of specific resources  Our value is in connections and curation  And facilitating new knowledge by others  We don’t “own” the information ecosystem  We must do what it takes to scale up to current and future volumes of data We will be increasingly reliant on others

13.  For users:  To mine usage data to provide more relevant and authoritative discovery  To start from the most relevant information and provide easy means for quick expansion  To coherently display conflicting information  For cataloguers:  To flag dead ends for review and action  To mine and show candidate connections for review  To highlight potentially conflicting information  To hide complexity (URIs, etc) We will be increasingly reliant on systems

14.  The data and systems are all in the cloud  Library-based discovery less important but likely still around for a while  Several ways systems can navigate the graph  Crawling  Dereferencing  Query federation  (See http://linkeddatabook.com/editions/1.0/#htoc84)http://linkeddatabook.com/editions/1.0/#htoc84 So how will Linked Data systems work?

15.  Creativity  Judgment  Quick analysis  Ability to see patterns  Good technical instincts  Trust What skills are needed in the future for cataloguers?
