Agenda

September 17 - TUTORIAL

European University Institute (Villa Salviati)

The European BIBFRAME Tutorial 2018

The Aim of the European BIBFRAME Tutorial 2018 is to introduce the BIBFRAME data model and the current status of BIBFRAME implementations. The tutorial will include practical examples of conversion and presentation of different BIBFRAME editors. Active involvement of the participants is essential for the success of the tutorial. In order to reach this aim registrants must have knowledge of Linked Data and RDF technologies. The tutorial will not propose a general introduction to Linked Data, Semantic Web and RDF.

European University Institute (Villa Salviati)

European BIBFRAME Workshop 2018

Production, Practice and Planning implementation

The aim of the European BIBFRAME Workshop 2018 is to be a forum for sharing knowledge about practice of, production with, and planning of BIBFRAME implementation. We want to bring together people working in the transition from MARC to Linked Data using the BIBFRAME model and related tools. This workshop is strongly focused on the practical implementation of BIBFRAME, not a theoretical Linked Data / Semantic Web event. To ensure the success of the workshop participants need to have working experience with BIBFRAME implementation.

The Workshop will combine longer presentations and shorter lightning talks, both followed by discussion. Breakout topics will be based on themes that came out during the presentations. At the end of each day a wrap up session will summarise the discussions.

Participants are invited to propose topics for discussion regarding their own suggestions for BIBFRAME, any aspects they consider troublesome and suitable or desired approaches moving forward.

  The Past, the Present and the Future of the Semantic Web and BIBFRAME in National Széchényi Library, Hungary
  
  The NSZL works with the technologies of the semantic web since 2010. The bibliographic data of the core collection, the Hungarian Electronic Library and the Digital Archive of Pictures are available for everybody. Now it is the time to transform these data with regarding to the regulations of RDA and BIBFRAME. Goals and footsteps towards the national library of the 21st century.

  BIBFRAME (in Canada) and the need for community support
  
  In preparation for moving to BIBFRAME the University of Alberta Libraries (UAL) is developing capacity for working with BIBFRAME data, updating staff position descriptions to reflect this work, and building a strategic vision for linked data to help drive implementation forward. This lightning talk will outline planning and projects at UAL in the context of community led initiatives and the need for an international BIBFRAME community.

The System Librarian worked with Library Web Team to expose library catalog to the Web via Schema ontology. By December 2016, the RDG has successfully turned project into routine. Library's Voyager system held close to 10 million URIs in headings. The System Librarian had begun exploring how to incorporate URIs in 0forheadings(1xx/7xxand6xx)inMARCddata.TheSystemLibrarianworkedwithLibraryWebTeamtoexposelibrarycatalogtotheWebviaSchemaontology.ByDecember2016,theRDGhassuccessfullyturnedprojectintoroutine.Library′sVoyagersystemheldcloseto10millionURIsinheadings.TheSystemLibrarianhadbegunexploringhowtoincorporateURIsin0 onto library's catalog Web presence named Launchpad. During this time, additional explorations such as extending language/script code to vernacular scripts and the Action element from Schema were being considered. However, due to library's priority shift to migrating Voyager to Alma, this exploration has been shelved since the migration activities took precedence. Now that GW is live with Alma. We hope to return to the project.

  Converting BIBFRAME to Schema.org
  
  This talk presents lessons learned from the conversion of the Finnish National Bibliography Fennica from MARC to BIBFRAME and further to Schema.org, focusing on the latter part. The BIBFRAME to Schema.org is implemented using two SPARQL CONSTRUCT queries: one for the raw conversion, the other for reconciling i.e. converting strings into things by looking up URIs from authorities and external sources such as the RDA vocabularies. Code available on GitHub.

4:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

The topics for the Breakout Session in day 2 will be discussed and finalised during this session.

  The Three Linked Data Choices for Libraries

  RDA / MARC / BIBFRAME: some observations
  
  In the days of AACR2 and MARC�21, the distinction between a rules standard and a format standard seemed to be straightforward: The rules standard provided instructions on which pieces of information are relevant, and how to build and provide them. The format standard then accommodated these pieces, creating structured elements in a defined technical framework so that information could be created, stored and communicated. Nowadays, the line between rules standards and format standards seems to be blurred. Based on relatively new models, the standard "Resource Description and Access" not only provides instructions in a toolkit, but adds blocks for handling the information on its own, e.g. as "RDA in RDF" data. On the other hand, "BIBFRAME" was developed, one of the goals being to define a successor to the MARC�21 format. Based on a model with a slightly different approach, it aims to cover different rules standards, among which RDA is the most prominent one. Both RDA and BIBFRAME are based on Linked Data principles, but they have chosen different paths. In my lightning talk I share some observations, from a German perspective, collected over some years of active participation in MARC�21 standardization and BIBFRAME experimentation, as a bystander of the FRBR and RDA development, and still as a newbie in Linked Data. There are more questions than answers.

  PCC and BIBFRAME
  
  The Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) is an international community that is widely recognized for its standards development, training activities and efforts to improve cataloging efficiencies. The PCC has been leading its member libraries to transition from MARC format to BIBFRAME. This talk will highlight PCC's strategic directions, activities and partnership surrounding the BIBFRAME implementation, including a shift from authority control to identity management.

  MARC to BIBFRAME: Evaluating the extraction of bibliographic families
  
  A framework has been established for evaluating the extraction of derivative relationships when converting MARC to BF2.
  The framework consists of:
  - A 256 MARC21 records dataset and its corresponding BF2 core classes and derivative relationships, forming a Reference BF2 dataset
  - A utility to evaluate recall and precision for the matches (core classes and derivative relationships) between a BF2 and the Ref-BF2 datasets

  PCC Task Groups: URI - BIBFRAME - Best Practices
  
  The Program for Cooperative Cataloging Task Group on URIs in MARC has successfully obtain approval from the library community regarding URI in key MARC fields. This lightning talk will highlight the work in transition from URI Task Group to Best Practices Task Group on presenting URI in MARC fields, e.g. 758. The thought process behind the best practices to facilitate linked data transformation from MARC.

  Index Data

  Exploring practical implications of a LD catalog
  
  Index Data and the University of Chicago are exploring ideas for an optional BIBFRAME-based storage system in FOLIO based on a triplestore or JSON-LD blobs. The intent is to create a practical testbed in a complex Library Services Platform for exploring the impact of alternative representations of bibliographic metadata on daily workflows.

  Reuse as Caching
  
  The traditional scheme for reuse is copy cataloguing. The basic problem with copy cataloguing is that it is a copy at a given time. So if the original cataloguer later update the record, these improvements are not reflected in the records made as copy cataloguing. Back in the catalogue card paradigm, this was not a big problem because a catalogue card normally was not changed at all. An important advantage of the entity data model should be not to duplicate e.g. an expression entity in another library / library service, but only refer from manifestation to work. And today new information are added, e.g. links to reviews, awards to the author, keyword etc., so it is not a static entity. We need to find a model for dynamic connection. Proposal: introduce a new concept: caching. Let the local system cache entities, that are referred to from entities in own system. Update when needed.
