Hi, I’m Eric


BIBFRAME“The Initiative aims to re-envision and, in the long run, implement a new bibliographic environment for libraries that makes "the network" central and makes interconnectedness commonplace.”

- Bibliographic Framework as a Web of Data: Linked Data Model and Supporting Services

Library of Congress, November 21, 2012





* robust enough to deal with 40 years ago* flexible enough to deal with 40+ years from now





* memory organizationslibraries, museums, archives, publishers, etc.

* community (users) they serve





* not on the web* but of the web

Linked Data"a term used to describe a recommended best

practice for exposing, sharing, and

connecting pieces of data, information, and knowledge on the Semantic

Web using URIs and RDF."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linked_Data




Sounds great, whats the catch?


It takes the big step of fundamentally rethinking applications and their integration

Linked Data in Libraries


What is BIBFRAME?

• Bibframe is a linked data model for library (memory organization) data

• Requirements and Goals:

• Inherent the robust nature of the MARC standard

• Be content model agnostic - RDA, DACS, CCO, etc.

• Handle description and management of traditional (books, serials, etc.) and non-traditional materials (born digital, data sets)

• Integrate supporting data (Authority, Holdings, Classification)

• Benefits from all the goodness the Web offers (web triggers, collaboration, data driven, etc.)

BIBFRAME


Community Profiles


Initial Phase• Completed Landscape Assessment

• Initial draft of Linked Data model Bibliographic Framework as a Web of Data: Linked Data Model and Supporting Services

• Prototype of translation services and Interfaces

• http://bibframe.org/

• Vocabulary mappings to MARC and RDA

• Project roadmap and deployment strategic report

• Early Experimenters to help refine this work


Early Experimenters

• British Library

• Deutsche Nationalbibliothek

• George Washington University

• National Library of Medicine

• OCLC

• Princeton University

• Library of Congress


Next phase• Extended Experimentation with more institutions

and data types

• Create more detailed documentation

• Complete Vocabulary Mapping to address all MARC and RDA fields

• Refine Serialization and Protocols

• Named Profiles / constraints

• Work with developer, vender community to develop tools and services


“Rethink your value”

• Libraries have huge trust credit in physical space

• This translates into the Web

• Library as a Platform / Service

• BIBFRAME isn’t just about replacing MARC

• Weaving the Best of the Web, Libraries and Users together

• Bringing credibility to the Web


Next Steps for you• Continue to learn about Linked Data (inside and

outside of Library community)

• Join the discussion

• [email protected]

• Follow updates to documentation, examples, vocabulary, services, prototypes, etc.

• http://bibframe.org/

• Start to engage vendors

• “what is your Linked Data strategy”?

• Define your own Linked Data strategy
