Presentation give to our local cataloging and discovery unit. The meeting discussed the current state of Linked Data in Libraries, as well as how we can experiment with tools like MarcEdit.
MarcEdit is a free software tool for editing MARC records. It allows users to navigate and edit MARC data, split and merge records, compare records, extract and add fields, and generate call numbers. The document introduces MarcEdit's interface and functions. It provides resources for downloading, installing, and learning more about MarcEdit including tutorials, mailing lists, and contact information for the developer.
The document discusses the concepts of the semantic web and linked data. It explains that the semantic web aims to convert the web into a single database that can be understood by machines through linking data using URIs, RDF, and other standards. It provides examples of projects like DBpedia and the Linking Open Data cloud that publish open government and other data as linked data. The document outlines some of the technologies and best practices for publishing and connecting data as linked data.
Online discovery portals are providing information about your content to researchers and linking to your site via Crossref. A richer record can result in significantly more traffic from places you weren’t expecting. Learn about where publisher metadata goes, how it is used, and the importance of depositing rich metadata in making the most of these downstream services. Our speakers include Stephanie Dawson of ScienceOpen; Pierre Mounier of OPERAS, OpenEdition, and the HIRMEOS project; and Laura J. Wilkinson and Anna Tolwinska of Crossref. Webinar held September 11, 2018
During this webinar we’ll take you on a tour of our Participation Reports, which give Crossref members and the wider scholarly community a clear, visual snapshot of the metadata that each one of our members is registering with Crossref. Registering richer metadata makes your content more useful and more discoverable to researchers and the wider scholarly community. This webinar was held on 18 November 2020,
This document discusses different types of linked data being used in libraries. It summarizes Schema.org, BIBFRAME, and Europeana as flavors of linked data that will be covered. Schema.org involves adding HTML tags to web pages to markup bibliographic information in a way search engines can understand. BIBFRAME serves as a model for expressing and connecting bibliographic data as a replacement for MARC. Europeana is a portal that aggregates library data from different European national libraries who are ahead of US libraries in exposing bibliographic data as open linked data.

MarcEdit provides tools for batch editing MARC records. This includes a merge records tool that allows merging data from two files using different matching methods and merging options. It also has a record deduplication tool that can remove duplicate records based on control fields. MarcEdit's editor allows global editing of MARC fields and data as well as specialized tools for editing subsets of records and performing tasks like case conversion. A new task automation tool allows non-programmers to create task lists that can automatically perform series of editing functions on MARC records. The Connexion plugin also allows interacting with OCLC's local file through MarcEdit.

This presentation was given by Ted Lawless of Thomson Reuters during the NISO Virtual Conference, BIBFRAME & Real World Applications of Linked Bibliographic Data, held on June 15, 2016.
LIBRIS is the Swedish national library catalog and directory that has existed since 1970. It contains over 6 million bibliographic records and links data about 175 libraries. LIBRIS recently transitioned to providing data as Linked Open Data to better integrate with the web. By exposing bibliographic records and authority files as structured data with HTTP URIs and links to vocabularies, LIBRIS allows its data to be queried and used freely on the web rather than through isolated APIs. This transition positions LIBRIS to develop more links to external datasets and take advantage of the network effects of the semantic web.

The document discusses the benefits and challenges of transitioning library data to linked data standards to make the data more accessible and interoperable on the web. It outlines principles of linked data and how library data could be transformed by assigning URIs to concepts, linking data sources, and storing data as RDF triples. Barriers include outdated library processes and standards like MARC that inhibit innovation, but initiatives like RDA, OpenLibrary, and data projects from the German National Library are helping advance the linked library data vision.
Presentation on Crossref Similarity Check. Presented by Rachael Lammey at Crossref LIVE Tokyo, Feb 2018.
This document discusses library linked data and the future of bibliographic control. It begins by asking what library linked data means and why it is important now. To combine the best of libraries and the web, metadata must be on the web and open for others to use. The principles of linked data are described, including using URIs, HTTP URIs, providing useful information in RDF, and including links to other URIs. The building blocks of linked data like RDF and triples are explained. Examples of existing library linked data projects are provided. The BIBFRAME initiative to develop a new framework to manage library data as linked data is outlined.
NISO Webinar: Experimenting with BIBFRAME: Reports from Early Adopters About the Webinar In May 2011, the Library of Congress officially launched a new modeling initiative, Bibliographic Framework Initiative, as a linked data alternative to MARC. The Library then announced in November 2012 the proposed model, called BIBFRAME. Since then, the library world is moving from mainly theorizing about the BIBFRAME model to attempts to implement practical experimentation and testing. This experimentation is iterative, and continues to shape the model so that it’s stable enough and broadly acceptable enough for adoption. In this webinar, several institutions will share their progress in experimenting with BIBFRAME within their library system. They will discuss the existing, developing, and planned projects happening at their institutions. Challenges and opportunities in exploring and implementing BIBFRAME in their institutions will be discussed as well.
