Next it explains the possible roles that libraries can play in Semantic Web development. Over 40 Semantic Web projects have been reviewed and listed. The projects from U.S. libraries are described in detail, including those by LC, OCLC, and academic libraries. In comparison, there are some visible differences in library-related semantic development and orientation between the U.S. and European libraries, and those differences are fully discussed. Increased globalization is taking place for some Semantic Web projects. One of the conclusions in this paper is that library-related Web of Data is ready to be exposed to Semantic Web application development.
