A presentation given at the "Data Stewardship: Increasing the Integrity and Effectiveness of Science and Scholarship" Session on Friday, June 8 2012 at the IASSIT 2012 conference in Washington DC.
This presentation introduced data publishing, using a social science (archaeology) case study to explore editorial processes and dissemination outcomes that increasingly demand “Linked Data” capabilities.
Open Context and Publishing to the Web of Data: Eric Kansa's LAWDI Presentationekansa
This presentation discusses how a model of “data sharing as publishing” can contribute to developing Linked Open Data resources in archaeology and the study of the ancient world. The paper gives examples from Open Context’s developing approach to data editing, documentation and quality improvement processes. The goal of these efforts is to better align the professional interests of individual researchers with the needs of the larger community to access and use high-quality data in Linked Data scenarios.

Library futures: converging and diverging directions for public and academic ...lisld
The major influence on library futures is the changing character of their user communities. As patterns of research, learning and personal development change in a network environment so library services need to change. At the same time, libraries are focused on engaging with their communities more strongly - getting into their work and learning flows. This means that libraries are becoming more unlike each other, they are diverging as they meet the specific needs of their communities. Research libraries diverge from academic libraries, and each is different from urban public libraries, and so on.
At the same time, at a broader level libraries are experiencing similar pressures. The need to engage more strongly with their communities. The need to assess what they do. The need to configure space around experiences rather than around collections. Libraries are converging around some of these issues.
This presentation will consider the future of libraries from the point of view of convergence and divergence between types of libraries.
Rightscaling, engagement, learning: reconfiguring the library for a network e...lisld
The edge of the world. Theta 2013: the Higher Education Technology Agenda. Hobart, Tasmania, 7-10 April, 2013.
The network continues to reconfigure personal and organizational relationships. Libraries face three important challenges in this environment.
1. Rightscaling infrastructure.
Libraries were predominantly ‘institution-scale’ – they provided services at the level of the institution for their local users. However, their users now look to the network for information services (e.g. Google Scholar, Wikipedia, …). And libraries now look to the network to collaborate or to externalize services (e.g. HathiTrust, cloud-based discovery or systems, shared systems infrastructure, …). In this environment the need for local infrastructure declines (e.g. extensive print collections, redundantly deployed local systems which provide necessary but not distinctive services). The scale advantage manifests itself in both impact and efficiency.
2. The shift to engagement.
Users used to build their workflows around libraries. Now the library needs to build services around user workflows, as those workflows form around network services. Libraries used to acquire and organize ‘published’ materials. Now they are engaged with the full range of creation, management and disclosure of learning and scholarly resources. Library spaces were configured around print collections; now they are configured around experiences, expertise, and specialist facilities. These are all examples of how libraries are reallocating resource and effort to engage more strongly with the learning and research lives of their users, improving the learning experience and making research more productive and research outputs more visible.
3. Institutional innovation
Innovation is important, especially to support greater engagement. But in many ways the most important form of innovation is institutional. Libraries have to develop new and routine ways of collaborating to achieve their goals. At the same time they have to negotiate internal boundaries and forge new structures within institutions. In each case, they are developing new ‘relationship architectures’. Think for example of the institutional innovation required to move to shared systems and collections in the Orbis Cascade Alliance or 2CUL for example. Or think of the innovative approach which makes new relationships within institutions (with Learning and Teaching Support, with the Office of Research, the University Press, emerging e-research infrastructure, IT, etc, for example, or with various educational or social services in a public setting). Evolving such relationships requires an enterprising approach and ensures continual learning.

Linked Data in Production: Moving Beyond OntologiesDavid Newbury
Presented at the Coalition of Networked Information (CNI) Spring 2024 Project Briefings.
Over the past six years, Getty has been engaged in a project to transform and unify its complex digital infrastructure for cultural heritage information. One of the project’s core goals was to provide validation of the impact and value of the use of linked data throughout this process. With museum, archival, media, and vocabularies in production and others underway, this sessions shares some of the practical implications (and pitfalls) of this work—particularly as it relates to interoperability, discovery, staffing, stakeholder engagement, and complexity management. The session will also share examples of how other organizations can streamline their own, similar work going forward.

Digital transformation has had a significant impact on businesses across every sector. Nonprofits achieve mission-focused success and competitive advantage by adopting best practices in digital asset management and preservation. While digital transformation is generally seen as revolutionary, the changes in institutional focus and tool set implementation have been primarily evolutionary - adapting and changing in response to both external and internal forces. This session will explore how nonprofit organizations deal with issues of adoption, change and sustainability as they continue to fulfill their missions.
Using an interactive case study format to bring multiple perspectives to the topic at hand, panelists from both larger and smaller organizations, representing different types of nonprofits, will share their stories. We will examine value and justification, funding models, implementation challenges, and user adoption. In addition, we will look at the formal responsibility and challenge for nonprofit/cultural heritage organizations to ensure long-term preservation and to provide access to content in perpetuity. Through open sharing and collaboration, attendees and presenters will learn from each other, gain practical knowledge, expand professional networks, and set the stage for continued success.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Knowledge
“When an Elder dies, a library burns down”- African proverb
Indigenous knowledge organization is a relatively new concept in our post-colonial age, having only been around since
the late 20th century
Indigenous cataloging began due to a
lack of accurate representation of
indigenous people worldwide. Library of
Congress Subject Headings and the
Dewey Decimal System represent
a very hegemonic, patriarchal world
view that is deeply ingrained in the
world of
information science.

Tim Berners-Lee’s Four Principles:
• Use Uniform Resource Identifiers
(URIs) to identify things
• Use HTTP URIs (web addresses) to
make them findable
• Provide useful information on
these pages, including the
standards used
• Provide further URI links
(Berners-Lee, 2006)
Resource Description Framework (RDF) & the RDF Triple
RDF is a recommendation published by the W3C as a “framework for expressing information about
resources,” (W3C, 2014) utilizing the RDF triple to do so. This takes the form of:
Subject Predicate Object
This model describes the subject through relationships to certain descriptors, and allows for these
relationships to be intelligible to computers. These relationships can then be “linked” to allow for networks
of information to be created across the internet.

Core Concepts & Terms
SPARQL: SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language. Allows users to access and manipulate data
in RDF formats
RDF Namespaces: Terms used in the predicate of a triple to define a relationship. Generally drawn from
one of hundreds of value vocabularies. Always appears as a URI.
RDF Syntax: The method of encoding RDF data for access. Several standardized syntaxes have been
adopted, most notably RDF/XML, Turtle, JSON & N-Triples
Legal Interoperability of Bibliographic Data
Put bibliographic data on the web with an open license
Make available as structured data
Use non-proprietary formats
Use URIs to identify your data
Link your data with other data to build relationships

• Linked open data finds its roots in the Semantic Web, which integrates common formats with standard
language, allowing a user to move through an infinite set of databases connected by their relatedness
to one another.
• Current linked open data models include the Library of Congress BIBFRAME (represented by the map
to the left) and DBpedia (represented by the entry on the right).
• One of the biggest technical challenges facing linked open data initiatives is migrating bibliographic
data from MARC 21 records into linked data models.
• Libraries, archives, and museums can support linked open data by:
• building vocabularies and ontologies that focus on structural metadata,
• making collections available digitally through the use of Semantic Web technologies,
• and by advocating for public support and funding of increased access to information.

9. Indigenous Cataloging & Classification
First Nations - Elizabeth McDonald
Brian Deer Classification System:
expresses important relationships
between tribal groups and concepts
by location
First Nations Name Authority List:
identifies groups by the names they
have given themselves
Canadian Subject Headings: kept
“Indians of North America” in favor
of revising headings for specific
peoples
Native Americans – Michelle Magnotta
American Indian Library
Association (AILA): spreads
information about Native American
culture, language, values and
information needs in the library
community.
The Museum System (TMS):
collection management program
used in museums, such as the
Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Protocols: outline different
opportunities for organizations to
cooperate with Native
communities.
Maori - Kerri Rose
Maori Subject Headings:
developed to help Maori library
user by creating a system that is
relevant to the Maori worldview
and intended to work within the
framework of the current
Western classification schemes.
Challenges:
1)Marginalization of indigenous peoples
2)Difference in worldview - linguistic/cultural barriers
3)Separation of materials from their creators
4)The myth of universality
Considerations:
1)Don’t Assume
2)Incorporate indigenous perspective and involve
indigenous individuals
3)Original System vs. Adaptation of Existing System
4)Indigenous People are Not Static

11. Non-Western Cataloging
Corina Bardoff, Phillip Cunningham, Lillian Lai
In 1917, more than 70% of Russia’s population between age
nine and 49 was illiterate. There was little formal training
for librarians, and there were no common bibliographic
standards.
Soviet Classification Tables 1933 & 1946

Cataloging Non-Western Items
When a catalogers encounters items in a non-western
language, what do? Stick with that you know – fluency
or familiarity with the language of the item being
cataloged is best practice.
Copy Cataloging from Arabic to English.
Connexion & Disconnection
Through OCLC’s Connexion, a cataloger will have
assistance with various non-western scripts and
languages. The most common one would encounter are
already included.
Worldcat FirstSearch can search for the same item
whether it is input as non-Latin script or its romanized
equivalent. Records can be created in original script and
found using Latin script because the fields are paired
under the same tag number.
Transliteration tools within Connexion can
automatically transliterate romanized Arabic into Arabic
script, or romanized Farsi (Parsi) into Arabic script for the
Persian language.
OCLC offers a free tutorial on non-Latin script
cataloging within Connexion (~25 minutes).
Regular purges rid catalogs of cards for the “harmful” and
“obsolete” works that might “mislead” readers.
Catalogs were reduced in size by half.
Libraries maintained separate “official catalogs” for librarians
and authorized researchers only.
The Bolsheviks promised vast changes to the Russian public
including 100% literacy and universal education. The
Bolsheviks saw libraries as the most efficient means to
bring books to the masses; books would inject the masses
with the political consciousness necessary to build the
Communist world they wanted.
Universal Decimal Classification was seen as the best, but it
was also criticized as a “bourgeois, capitalist system filled
with the biases and ideas of Western imperialist society.”
Soviet Classification & Cataloging
Decimal Classification in the USSR
Massam Ne Davat’ – Not For the Masses
“Experience has taught Soviet librarians to abstain from
any initiative” (Baumanis and Rogers, 1958)
China has undergone periods of suppression of
intellectual thinking and book burning for unification. Two
notable eras was the Qin Dynasty and the Cultural
Revolution. The reconstructions eras after the two periods
made great efforts in repairing books and their cataloging
systems.
China began to reform their library catalogs by studying
international cataloging standards. A few to name were
Descriptive Cataloging Rules for Western Language Materials
(aligned with AACR2), CNMARC, and USMARC.
China began to adopt foreign library systems for their
collections, which left Chinese libraries still divided. In 1998,
CALIS (China Academic Library and Information System) was
formed to cater to the academic library community. CALIS
connected libraries together by sharing databases and
academic papers with each other to become more efficient
(Zhu, 2003, p.400).
In Han Dynasty, the emperor ordered Liu Xiang and later
on, his son, Liu Xin, to repair and organize the damaged
books. They created a bibliography, Qi Lue, to organize the
final selection of 13,000 volumes. Qi Lue served as the
foundation for the future of Chinese classification systems. Qi
Lue’s six sections evolved into four divisions, which then
became the Si Ku Classification.
