Die Tagung 'Vernetzte Welten' aus der Tagungsreihe 'Digitale Bibliothek' stellte die organisatorische und inhaltliche Kollaboration von Institutionen aus dem GLAM-Sektor in den thematischen Mittelpunkt: Referiert wurde u. a. über Metadaten und Pflege semantischer Datenstrukturen, Linked Open Data, Open Access und Nachnutzung von semantisch beschriebenen digitalen Objekten. Die Konferenz machte deutlich, dass hier eine bewusste Umorientierung stattgefunden hat, die das Öffnen der Institutionen und die Verbreitung und Vernetzung der kuratierten Objekte forciert.
