Shieh "Enabling Descriptive Data to be Linked at the Smithsonian Libraries"
This document summarizes Jackie Shieh's presentation on enabling descriptive data to be linked at the Smithsonian Libraries by implementing linked library data. It discusses Smithsonian's strategic plans, initiatives to link data and make it accessible. It outlines projects to add linked identifiers to MARC records, transform data to BIBFRAME RDF, and challenges faced in managing authority data and staff impacts of learning new skills for linked data. Resources for transitioning from MARC to linked data are also provided.
