The document discusses the challenges and opportunities facing catalogers and libraries as they transition to new standards like RDA that are designed to integrate library data with the semantic web. It provides an overview of RDA, how it differs from AACR2 and is better suited for the digital environment, and the technical requirements and changes needed for libraries to fully implement RDA and linked data. Catalogers will need to learn new skills and data modeling approaches as their role shifts to managing more abstract metadata and integrating user-contributed information.

Annual LIANZA / SLANZA Weekend School, held Nelson, New Zealand on 28 April, 2007. This keynote presentation explores the Web 2.0 world, and the 'possibilities' for libraries in a digitally networked world.
Open data is a crucial prerequisite for inventing and disseminating the innovative practices needed for agricultural development. To be usable, data must not just be open in principle—i.e., covered by licenses that allow re-use. Data must also be published in a technical form that allows it to be integrated into a wide range of applications. The webinar will be of interest to any institution seeking ways to publish and curate data in the Linked Data cloud.
This webinar describes the technical solutions adopted by a widely diverse global network of agricultural research institutes for publishing research results. The talk focuses on AGRIS, a central and widely-used resource linking agricultural datasets for easy consumption, and AgriDrupal, an adaptation of the popular, open-source content management system Drupal optimized for producing and consuming linked datasets.
Agricultural research institutes in developing countries share many of the constraints faced by libraries and other documentation centers, and not just in developing countries: institutions are expected to expose their information on the Web in a re-usable form with shoestring budgets and with technical staff working in local languages and continually lured by higher-paying work in the private sector. Technical solutions must be easy to adopt and freely available.

The Impact of Linked Data in Digital Curation and Application to the Catalogu...Ian Bigelow
Presented by Ian Bigelow, Danielle Emon, Stacey Boileau, Jenny Jing and Erin Tripp at ACCESSYYZ in Toronto on September 10th, 2015.
Abstract:
Information organization and systems in libraries are in a state of significant flux. In systems there is a shift to XML and RDF-based schemas and ontologies while resource description content standards have changed from AACR2 to RDA. A move from MARC to BIBFRAME and other linked data applications is on the horizon. Linked data and the semantic web have become buzzwords, but what is linked data and why it is important for librarians? How can we use it in digital curation? What can libraries do now to “prepare” for this change in their current practice?
In light of these questions, the panel presentation will discuss two projects. First, there will be coverage of a sample project using the Fedora-based open source framework, Islandora to demonstrate the concepts of connecting related data across the Web with URIs, HTTP and RDF. The second half of the presentation will describe how a consortia has taken a holistic approach to writing an RDA workflow to help front-line cataloguers develop a wider perspective when it comes to resource description (creating more structured, future compatible metadata). Up for discussion: the current state and future possibilities of library metadata with a focus on the implications of linked data.

Rethinking shared metadata at the platform levelTerry Reese
This document discusses the evolving role of libraries and shared metadata platforms. It makes the following key points:
1. Libraries are shifting from solely being information providers to becoming key research partners throughout the entire research process. There is also a greater reliance on networks of data and services built from aggregated data.
2. Large data aggregations like the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) and Europeana will redefine how metadata is attributed, licensed, and shared. Standardization and open metadata will become more important.
3. Libraries will recognize and adopt crowd-sourced metadata description for special collections. Aggregations and linked data will make it possible to create exhibits and collections from multiple sources, increasing transparency.
The document discusses issues with RDA, the successor to AACR2 cataloging rules. It notes RDA still focuses too much on printed materials and transcription, lacks an underlying model or principles, and is too complex for widespread adoption. Changes are needed to make RDA more compatible with digital resources and other metadata communities by basing it on relationships instead of text and adopting a top-down development process.
RDA is a new cataloging standard designed to replace AACR2 and provide guidelines for describing digital resources. It is based on FRBR and FRAD which are models that organize information by user tasks and relationships between entities like works, expressions, manifestations and items. RDA aims to be more intuitive for users by providing more detailed descriptions of resources and is being tested by various libraries and organizations before its full implementation. However, some questions remain regarding its costs and benefits compared to AACR2.
Robin Fay presented an update on the Bibliographic Framework Initiative (BIBFRAME). The presentation covered the need for BIBFRAME as MARC records have limitations for machine processing. FRBR and RDA were discussed as models that focus on relationships between works, expressions, manifestations and items. XML was presented as a way to encode bibliographic data in a machine-readable format using elements rather than character strings. The semantic web and linked data were discussed as ways to make metadata shareable on the web. BIBFRAME was introduced as a new bibliographic framework to replace MARC that would use RDF to encode bibliographic data.
The future of the MARC format in the light of the development of RDA and the future of bibliographic control. Presented at the CCS Forum, ALA Annual Chicago, Friday, July 10, 2009.
RDA and LAMs, or, Faith-Based CatalogingDan Lipcan
This document discusses the potential effects of the new cataloging standard RDA (Resource Description and Access) on libraries, archives, and museums (LAMs). RDA may have limited impact on museums due to established practices and power structures. Archives may see some effects from changes to authority control but a full transition to RDA is unlikely. Libraries will need to adjust systems and train staff on RDA, requiring a philosophical shift. Overall, RDA adoption may happen slowly and unevenly across LAMs.
Semantic Web 2.0: Creating Social Semantic Information SpacesJohn Breslin
This tutorial provides an overview of applying Semantic Web technologies to emerging Web 2.0 applications and social media to create "Social Semantic Information Spaces." It discusses adding semantics to blogs, wikis, forums, and social networks through standards like RDF and ontologies. The goal is to overcome limitations of these applications and enable more automated information sharing and discovery across interconnected sites and communities.
Karen Calhoun gave a presentation at the COBISS Conference on November 12, 2009 about trends in librarianship and metadata management. She discussed how technical services departments are shrinking due to budget cuts and priorities shifting to user services. She also talked about the increasing importance of the virtual library and integrating the catalog with other discovery tools. Finally, she covered how metadata creation has become distributed across libraries and other institutions, requiring new workflows and standards for metadata exchange.
Presented at ALA Chicago at the 25th Annual meeting of the Authority Control Interest Group, July 11, 2009. Discusses the process of registering the RDA Vocabularies and some problems encountered.
Charleston 2012 - The Future of Serials in a Linked Data WorldProQuest
The educational objective of this session is to review today’s MARC-based environment in which the serial record predominates, and compare that with what might be possible in a future world of linked data. The session will inspire conversation and reflection on a number of questions. What will a world of statement-based rather than record-based metadata look like? What will a new environment mean for library systems, workflows, and information dissemination?
Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) in the Context of Semantic Web De...gardensofmeaning
The document discusses the development and use of SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System) for representing knowledge organization systems like thesauri and classification schemes as structured data on the semantic web. It describes how LCSH (Library of Congress Subject Headings) has been converted to RDF using SKOS and published as linked open data. It suggests further steps like linking LCSH to other metadata and developing RDF representations of additional bibliographic schemas.
This document discusses rethinking the library services platform (LSP) model to improve interoperability between systems. It notes that while new LSPs have emerged, significant lack of interoperability remains between components of the library technology ecosystem. The author argues that libraries should adopt a platform approach like Windows or Apple, where vendors provide tools and services to allow third parties to build applications on their platforms. This could encourage more applications and make platforms more valuable. Prioritizing the library user perspective may change how libraries think about LSPs. Standards bodies are working on interoperability issues but more remains to be done to fully integrate solutions.
This document summarizes a presentation on recent developments in cataloging standards and practices, including RDA, Bibframe, and linked data. The presentation discusses how standards like RDA and FRBR are moving cataloging towards a more entity-centric model based on semantic web principles. It also outlines proposals to encode library metadata as linked open data using the Resource Description Framework (RDF) to represent bibliographic records as sets of semantic triples and link them to external datasets. The goal is to transform library data into a true "Web of data" rather than just making it available on the traditional document-based web.

This document discusses managing virtual library collections across multiple online platforms. It describes the Caledon Library, which exists in Second Life and has a website. It manages collections themed around Victorian/steampunk works. The library engages the community as partners and must balance known needs with new tools. Volunteers coordinate across time zones using various communication tools. Costs include data storage, collections, and hosting fees. Challenges include coordinating distributed volunteers and determining an appropriate scope and size for digital collections across platforms. The library uses various free and paid tools for internal/external communication and to provide access to collections. A cross-platform approach allows it to meet users on their terms.

Presentation to the Authority Control Interest Group at ALA Midwinter, Chicago 2015. Discusses the traditional function of authority control and its limitations,as well as newer sources of identification for people that broaden our ideas of what identity should be.
Presentation to the RDA Forum at ALA Midwinter Chicago 2015. Discusses how to determine 'readiness' for Linked Data, emphasizing the infrastructure behind the RDA Registry and how it supports the move to linked data by libraries.
Presentation given on Dec. 4, 2014 at the University of Hawaii Library, on the topic of changes in the library metadata world, with a focus on Linked Open Data.
Workshop slides presented to a group at the University of Hawaii, December 4, 2014. Slides include a step-by-step description of importing a MARC file to RIMMF, plus some issues that remain after the process and products are examined.
This document discusses the RDA Registry, which houses the RDA vocabularies and elements. It provides URIs for classes, properties, and relationships that are used to build RDA records. The registry aims to support various applications and users by maintaining stable URIs, providing documentation on elements, and making downloads available in different formats. It also discusses plans to further improve synchronization with the RDA Toolkit and development of application profiles.
The RDA Vocabularies: What They Are, How They WorkDiane Hillmann
The document discusses RDA vocabularies and their structure when represented in RDF. It explains that RDA properties are declared as a generalized vocabulary without explicit relationships to FRBR entities, and subproperties can then be explicitly related to FRBR entities. This allows the vocabularies to be used more broadly by both library and non-library implementers. It also discusses how aggregated RDA statements like publication statements are represented, either through pre-coordinated subproperties or by using RDA syntax encoding schemes. The generalized approach makes the vocabularies more flexible and extensible.
The Other Side of Linked Open Data: Managing Metadata AggregationDiane Hillmann
The document discusses managing metadata aggregation through linked open data (LOD). It outlines that current LOD projects only expose select data for experimentation and questions whether LOD can succeed on that basis alone without actual use. The document then proposes a workflow for managing metadata that involves obtaining data, storing it as statements in a cache rather than a database, evaluating and improving the data using specialized services, and publishing improved data in an ongoing and iterative process. It emphasizes developing automated and specialized services to continuously improve data quality and the use of a cache to manage metadata from multiple sources over time with detailed provenance.
Maps & gaps: strategies for vocabulary design and developmentDiane Hillmann
This document discusses strategies for vocabulary design and development, including starting simple with existing vocabularies like MARC 21, ISBD, and Dublin Core or taking a mixed approach. It examines the balance between re-using and re-purposing vocabularies as the linked data world develops. Success of re-purposing depends on mapping services while open communication and change management are critical. Bottom-up mapping can identify gaps in related vocabularies better than format-to-format crosswalks. Separate consideration of metadata needs and extension strategies with robust versioning are important to prevent data loss when re-purposing vocabularies.
NISO Bibliographic Roadmap Meeting ProposalDiane Hillmann
Proposal by Diane Hillmann and Gordon Dunsire at the NISO Bibliographic Roadmap meeting, April 15-16, Baltimore, MD. In this proposal, Hillmann and Dunsire describe how the current environment can be transformed without necessarily the kinds of disruption that have been feared.
This document discusses challenges and opportunities for libraries in managing metadata in the new era of linked data. It addresses issues like shifting from thinking about records to statements, extending vocabularies, mapping legacy data for redistribution, and evaluating and improving metadata through iterative processes. The focus is on distributing data openly and empowering users and other organizations to make use of library metadata through flexible models rather than centralized systems.
Presentation for the LITA/ALCTS MARC Transition Interest Group, ALA Midwinter, Seattle, January 2013. Abstract: Many of those who seek to map or crosswalk data from MARC to other schemas believe that the elderly MARCXML is the only option. However, another option exists, in a more modern package: http://marc21rdf.info. These
'level zero' elements allow MARC21 data to be represented without loss in RDF; subsequently, semantic mappings can be used to interoperate the data with other linked data based on Dublin Core, ISBD, RDA, etc. This resource is open to use by anyone, and will be available in the mapping service beingbuilt by the Open Metadata Registry (http://metadataregistry.org).
Freshworks Rethinks NoSQL for Rapid Scaling & Cost-EfficiencyScyllaDB

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.

Crisis or Opportunity
1. Crisis or Opportunity? Cataloging, Catalogers, RDA, and Change Diane I. Hilllmann Connecticut Library Association November 20, 2009
2. It’s About Perspective … “Our traditions! Nothing must change. Everything is perfect as it is! We like our ways.” –Tevye 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 2
3. I Much Prefer … “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” – Rahm Emmanuel 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 3
4. Part 1: What’s the Crisis? Libraries are no longer the first place people come for information The Internet has changed the way people (including us) behave when seeking information Our former “granularity consensus” is coming apart To compete effectively for user attention, we must: Join the larger world of information, where our users are Learn how the competition attracts users, draws them in, and takes good advantage of their interest in participating Find a better balance between protecting privacy and capturing usage behavior 11/20/09 4 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington
5.
6. The Map of Change Charting Our Course 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 6
7. What We Must Leave Behind A view of metadata based on catalog cards Library software that can’t sort search results better than “random” or “alphabetic” Search interfaces even Librarians hate (and we know the data!) Clunky static HTML pages that don’t attract our user’s interest, or guide them well One silo for books, others for journal articles, images, digitized books, etc. (explain that to a user!) 11/20/09 7 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington
8. Starting to Move Forward A Starting Point: The Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control (Library of Congress) “On the Record”—final report, January 2008 http://www.loc.gov/bibliographic-future/ A good, comprehensive overview of our new world and what we need to do Recommendations for LC, OCLC, ALA, library educators and all of us Extensively discussed at the Library of Congress and within the profession at large 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 8
9. “The Web is our platform” 1.2.4.2 All: Explore tools and techniques for sharing bibliographic data at the network level using both centralized and non-centralized techniques (e.g., OAI-PMH). 3.1.2.1 All: Express library standards in machine-readable and machine-actionable formats, in particular those developed for use on the Web. 3.1.2.2 All: Provide access to standards through registries or Web sites so that the standards can be used by any and all Web applications. 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 9
10. A New Look at Library Systems 4.1.1.1 All: Encourage and support development of systems capable of relating evaluative data, such as reviews and ratings, to bibliographic records. 4.1.1.2 All: Encourage the enhancement of library systems to provide the capability to link to appropriate user-added data available via the Internet (e.g., Amazon.com, LibraryThing, Wikipedia). At the same time, explore opportunities for developing mutually beneficial partnerships with commercial entities that would stand to benefit from these arrangements. 11/20/09 10 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington
11. Enriching Library Data 4.1.2.1 All: Develop library systems that can accept user input and other non-library data without interfering with the integrity of library-created data. 4.1.2.2 All: Investigate methods of categorizing creators of added data in order to enable informed use of user-contributed data without violating the privacy obligations of libraries. 4.1.2.3 All: Develop methods to guide user tagging through techniques that suggest entry vocabulary (e.g., term completion, tag clouds). 11/20/09 11 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington
12. Exploring Our New World Avoiding the Traps of Wrongovia 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 12
13. Taking a Look Around What’s all this about new catalogs? Is RDA really going to happen? Is it that different from AACR2? Why can’t we use RDA with MARC? What’s this Semantic Web thingy all about, and why do we care? How will RDA implementation affect cataloging? How can we best prepare for all this? 11/20/09 13 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington
14. First, Let’s Nix the Silos! Why not expand resource availability in the current catalog? Demo: Dartmouth College Library Summon Beta What you’ll see: combined newspaper, journal and traditional book data Only those resources, including licensed resources, available to Dartmouth community (no dead ends) Ranking by relevance, date, etc. Filtering by resource type (filtering of search result set immediately) How do they do this? What are the limitation? 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 14
15. What Does FRBR Buy Us? An interesting start: OCLC Fiction Finder What is it doing? Using standard MARC relationships (expressed in uniform titles, primarily) to build a more browsable view Filtering by language and format, various sort options What can’t it do? Provide explicit links between related editions Provide a more useful web of relationships that machines can interpret and use Note that this “experiment” is no longer an active project 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 15
16. A Quick Look at Standards 11/20/09 16 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington
17. The RDA You’ve Heard About … 4th quarter calendar 2008 – Full draft of RDA available for constituency review (ending in early February 2009) http://www.collectionscanada.ca/jsc/rdafulldraft.html 3rdquarter calendar 2009 – RDA content is finalized 4th quarter calendar 2009 – RDA is released 1st quarter calendar 2010 – Testing by national libraries 2nd – 3rd quarters calendar 2010 – Analysis and evaluation of testing by national libraries 4th quarters calendar 2010 and beyond – RDA implementation ? 11/20/09 17 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington We are here
18. Under the RDA Hood A FRBR-based approach to structuring bibliographic data Contains more explicitly machine-friendly linkages (preferably with URIs) MUCH more emphasis on relationships and roles … … and less emphasis on cataloger-created notes and text strings (particularly for identification) Less reliance on transcription (important in an increasingly digital world) 11/20/09 18 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington
19. RDA: The Text 1300+ pages and counting Looks a lot like it was designed by a committee Available only electronically, although many have called for a printed version (obviously can’t include 1300 pages!) Costs not yet finalized for the online product Text designed explicitly for online access, with user-configurable aspects Still very oriented towards textual resources 11/20/09 19 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington
20. What You Might Not Have Heard JSC has gradually backed away from their original stance that RDA could be expressed easily in MARC Full integration of FRBR entities into RDA has made that problematic RDA has been developed explicitly to take advantage of the Semantic Web (although there are still residues of past practice) Changes made in MARC to support RDA are insufficient to allow full RDA expression (particularly relationships) in MARC 11/20/09 20 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington
21. JSC Scenarios Scenario 1: separate records for all FRBR entities with linked identifiers Scenario 2: composite bibliographic records (with authority records representing each entity) Scenario 3: one flat record, with all Group 1 entities on a single record This is the only scenario that MARC can handle 11/20/09 21 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington
22. The Rest of the Story RDA elements, roles and vocabularies have been provisionally registered The vocabularies and the text will be tied together in freely available RDA XML schemas Some efforts have begun to consider how MARC21 data can be parsed into FRBR entities and RDA eXtensible Catalog Project moving strongly in this direction Unfortunately, we don’t know much about what OCLC is planning Discussions about long term maintenance of both RDA and the vocabularies will begin after RDA release The push is already on for a multi-language RDA Vocabulary 11/20/09 22 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington
23. RDF Vocabularies Hosted at the Metadata Registryhttp://metadataregistry.org/rdabrowse.htm 7 Upper ontologies (+ FRBR in RDA) 69 Value vocabularies Extracted from Entity Relationship Diagrams (built by RDA Online contractor, based on JSC decisions) 11/20/09 23 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington
24. RDA & FRBR: Registered! RDA Group 1 Elements: http://metadataregistry.org/schema/show/id/1.html RDA Roles: http://metadataregistry.org/schema/show/id/4.html RDA Vocabulary example: Base Material http://metadataregistry.org/vocabulary/show/id/35.html FRBR Entities for RDA http://metadataregistry.org/schema/show/id/14.html 11/20/09 24 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington
25. Who’s Doing This? DCMI/RDA Task Group See: http://dublincore.org/dcmirdataskgroup/ Set up during the April 2007 London meeting between JSC and DCMI Gordon Dunsire and Diane Hillmann, co-chairs Karen Coyle & Alistair Miles, consultants IFLA Classification and Indexing Section Gordon Dunsire, Centre for Digital Library Research, University of Strathclyde, will be registering FRBR entities and relationships Possible inclusion of ISBDs, FRAD, etc., in future 11/20/09 25 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington
26. How Soon Will All This Happen? The bad news: This isn’t like 1981, when there was a “start date” and we knew exactly when to change gears More bad news: This transition is likely to be a pretty messy one, and last longer than we would like One unknown is OCLC’s role—at present they seem to be focused on consolidating control over library data and promoting WorldCat Local What little they have said indicates that they’ll be cramming data into MARC for the foreseeable future … Some vendors are starting to announce plans … 11/20/09 26 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington
27. What Are the Challenges? Coordination with JSC (or it’s successor, given the need to move beyond “Anglo-American”) on long-term maintenance planning Need for lightweight process for expansion and extension, where change is not a multi-year marathon Continuing development towards a more Semantic web-friendly RDA (less reliance on transcription, for instance) Tool development (at all levels, including ILS vendors) We need lots of innovation in this realm! 11/20/09 27 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington
28. Yet More Challenges Description Set Profiles that express more than one notion of “Work” and more than one communitypoint of view JSC still seeing the process through the lens of a text cataloger Their “core elements” make most sense for traditional books, serials, and other text-based objects Moving the MARC legacy data into RDA Including authority files Multi-lingual and specialized extensions Non-Anglo-American communities eager to participate 11/20/09 28 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington
29. Multi-lingual RDA The NSDL Registry approach: Translations of labels, definitions and comments reside within the save vocabulary, with separate language attributes URIs stay the same, as do relationships Responsibility for updating translations rests with translation “owner”—who is enabled as a maintainer in the main vocabulary Disadvantages Unsure how extensively this strategy will “scale” Requires a “web of trust” and organizational commitment 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 29
30. RDA With German The Registry team has been working with the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek to build German language labels, definitions, etc. into the RDA elements and vocabularies The group developing these extensions consists of librarians from an array of German and Austrian libraries See Veronika Leibrecht’s blog post: http://metadataregistry.org/blog/2009/10/12/the-german-national-library-translating-and-registering-rda-elements-and-vocabularies/ A sample: RDA Content Type, still image:http://metadataregistry.org/concept/show/id/523.html 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 30
31. Part 2: Whither Catalogers? What Happens When The Revolution Comes? 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 31
32. Focus on Catalogers What do we anticipate will be different about our changed working environment? How will workflow change? How will the data look? What will the library vendor systems do with it? How will we integrate user data? What kinds of user data? What do we need to know to operate in this new environment? 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 32
33. Approaching Change Catalogers will need to separate what they know about information based on their current systems from what is more general in nature Much of the knowledge is portable, but needs updating The new environment is not as well organized (yet), so much learning will need to be self-directed Catalogers’ role may become closer to that of Metadata Librarian Managing data at a more abstract level (not as creators) Understanding the goals of changes anticipated and new requirements will be essential 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 33

62. So, How Different Is This? A “Description Set” is an aggregation of statements … A MARC Record is an aggregation of fields Each has rules and specifications Each has ways of relating to other kinds of related information How hard can it be? 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 62
63. New Tools, New Knowledge Getting There From Here 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 63
65. Semantic Web Standards RDF: Resource Description Framework Statements about Web resources in the form of subject-predicate-object expressions, called triples E.g. “This presentation” –“has creator” –“Diane Hillmann” RDF Schema Vocabulary description language of RDF SKOS: Simple Knowledge Organisation System Expresses the basic structure and content of concept schemes such as thesauri and other types of controlled vocabularies An RDF application OWL (Web Ontology Language) Explicitly represents the meaning of terms in vocabularies and the relationships between them 11/20/09 65 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington
66. Semantic Web Building Blocks Each component of an RDF statement (triple) is a “resource” RDF is about making machine-processable statements, requiring A machine-processable language for representing RDF statements A system of machine-processable identifiers for resources (subjects, predicates, objects) Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) For full machine-processing potential, an RDF statement is a set of three URIs 11/20/09 66 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington
67. Things Requiring Identification Object “This presentation” e.g. its electronic location (URL) Predicate “has creator” e.g. http://purl.org/dc/terms/creator Object “Diane Hillmann” e.g. URI of entry in Library of Congress Name Authority File (real soon now?) NAF: nr2001015786 Declaring vocabularies/values in SKOS and OWL provides URIs—essential for the Semantic Web 11/20/09 67 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington
68. What Happened to XML? Nothing: XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is most likely how library systems will evolve after MARC It makes sense to use XML to exchange data between libraries, and some external services But RDF is gaining ground, and libraries will need to be able to accommodate it, and understand it An XML record is essentially an aggregation of property = value statements about the same resource RDF triples can also be aggregated using XML, but this isn’t necessarily the best way to realize the potential of RDF 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 68
69. New Sources of Data Governments The UK government is looking for ways to distribute it’s data widely: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8311627.stm The US government is joining the party: http://www.data.gov/ Geographic names: http://www.geonames.org/ New York Times: http://data.nytimes.com/ Other information (being used by the NYTimes) Dbpedia: http://dbpedia.org/About Freebase: http://www.freebase.com/ 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 69
72. Users Bringing Users (and Usage) Into the Conversation 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 72
73. User Data “R” Us Sources of ‘active’ user data Tagging, etc. Review and rating systems Courseware systems Sources of ‘passive’ user data Logs of user activity Circulation or download data “Making data work harder …” –Lorcan Dempsey Collaborative filtering Data mining 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 73
74. Active User Data User tagging and description Ex.: The LC Flickr Project Ex.: LibraryThing Review and rating systems Ex.: Penn Tags Ex.: Amazon Courseware Systems Making connections so that courseware can reuse catalog information; catalogs can know what has been used in courses, when, and who assigned it 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 74
75. LC-Flickr Project Library of Congress and Flickr--“In a very elegant way, Flickr solves the authority conundrum of exposing collections content to social process. No need to worry if some comments or tags are misleading, arbitrary or incorrect - it’s not happening on your site, but in a space where people know and expect a wide variety of contributions. On the other hand, LC selectively reaps the benefit of these contributions.” (http://hangingtogether.org/?p=401) 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 75 An Example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2536800324/
76. Librarything What is it? From the homepage: Join the world’s largest book club Catalog your books from Amazon, the Library of Congress and 690 other world libraries. Import from anywhere Find people with eerily similar tastes. Find new books to read Free Early Reviewer books from publishers and authors An example: http://www.librarything.com/work/112603 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 76
77. 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 77 What is PennTags? “PennTags is a social bookmarking tool for locating, organizing, and sharing your favorite online resources. Members of the Penn Community can collect and maintain URLs, links to journal articles, and records in Franklin, our online catalog and VCat, our online video catalog. Once these resources are compiled, you can organize them by assigning tags (free-text keywords) and/or by grouping them into projects, according to your specific preferences. PennTags can also be used collaboratively, because it acts as a repository of the varied interests and academic pursuits of the Penn community, and can help you find topics and users related to your own favorite online resources.nPennTags was developed by librarians at the University of Pennsylvania. “ An example: http://tags.library.upenn.edu/
78. Passive User Data Logs of user activity Usually locally maintained and analyzed Third party services like Google Analytics can provide important aggregate information Circulation or download data Tricky in library settings, where user privacy an important value, but can be successfully agregated Anonymized data can be stored and used for relevance ranking Take a cue from successful commercial sites like Amazon! 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 78
79. Hard Working Data Collaborative filtering Wikipedia: “ … the process of filtering for information or patterns using techniques involving collaboration among multiple agents, viewpoints, data sources, etc.” Ex.: Amazon (people who bought “X” also bought “Y”) Data mining Wikipedia: “ … statistical and logical analysis of large sets of transaction data, looking for patterns that can aid decision making.” Ex.: LibraryThing Zeitgeist 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 79
80. User Data Issues Privacy Being able to use information about a contributing user without violating personal privacy Complicated by differences in generational ideas about what privacy is Authority (who said?) Librarians have traditionally valued “objectivity,” but there’s no evidence that users see this as a value Management Keeping spammers out Filtering language and malicious intent 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 80
81. Sharing User Contributions Note how LibraryThing pulls Amazon descriptions Amazon has an API that allows other services to use its data Positioning Amazon data in other sites drives users back to Amazon—Libraries need to do this! As libraries move more of their unique data to the Web, they need to be aware of the marketing value of sharing data and allowing other services to combine it in new ways To do this, libraries will need to be able to package the data in ways hat others can capture it Ex.: XC Project is planning to share Courseware information 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 81
83. Learning Strategies Group Learning Seminars (like this one!) Conference presentations Local study groups Self-directed learning Tutorials Blogs Keeping up with the discussion--You need a plan! 11/20/09 CLA TSS Seminar, Farmington 83

Editor's Notes
Print version will probably not include the whole thing.
The CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CRM) provides definitions and a formal structure for describing the implicit and explicit concepts and relationships used in cultural heritage documentation.
