DESCRIPTION
About the Webinar In May 2012, the Library of Congress announced a new modeling initiative focused on reflecting the MARC 21 library standard as a Linked Data model for the Web, with an initial model to be proposed by the consulting company Zepheira. The goal of the initiative is to translate the MARC 21 format to a Linked Data model while retaining the richness and benefits of existing data in the historical format. In this webinar, Eric Miller of Zepheira will report on progress towards this important goal, starting with an analysis of the translation problem and concluding with potential migration scenarios for a broad-based transition from MARC to a new bibliographic framework.TRANSCRIPT

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?
12
It takes the big step of fundamentally rethinking applications and their integration

BIBFRAME Design Background
• Deconstructing MARC
• Linked Data“Things not Strings”
• Ground truth of data patterns
• Analysis of existing Linked Data efforts / patterns
• Implementable
• Addresses RDA use cases / scenarios (first among equals)
• Adheres to Web Architecture
• History / experience

What is Bibframe?
• Bibframe is a linked data model for bibliographic 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.)

• Experimentation for a month at their institutions
• Second Face to Face meeting in December to share findings, comments and questions
• Iterative refinement of model, vocabulary and services based on real world data and experimentation
66
Next phase• Extended Experimentation with more institutions and data
types
• Create more detailed documentation
• Complete Vocabulary Mapping to address all MARC and RDA fields
• Serialization and Protocols
• Create Use Cases for further validation
• Named Profiles / constraints
• Prototype lightweight, open source cataloging interfaces
• Generate information central for all things BIBFRAME

Next Steps for you• Continue to learn about Linked Data (inside and
outside of Library community)
• Join the discussion
• Keep a watch out for updates to documentation, examples, vocabulary, services, prototypes, etc.
• http://www.loc.gov/marc/transition/
• Start to engage vendors
• “what is your Linked Data strategy”?
