FOLIO and Linked Data
This document discusses FOLIO's support for linked data and plans to enhance it. Currently, FOLIO only supports the MARC format for source record storage but plans to support additional metadata formats like Dublin Core, VRAcore and PBCore in 2023-2025. It also plans to support entity-based data models and interchange with linked open data, including BIBFRAME. There is discussion of building out a linked data SRS or connecting to an external one. The document explores options for external linked data editing and storage and integrating with an entity management application. It proposes a prototype integrating the Sinopia linked data editor and QA lookups with FOLIO to advance linked data work.

Linked Data onthe FOLIO Roadmap • Mid 2022 • Revive Linked Data Working Group to make sure that FOLIO’s use of Linked Open Data (LOD) follows LOD principles, and is useful and meaningful to the community • 2023–2025 • Develop support for non-MARC record-based data models (for instance: Dublin Core, VRAcore, PBCore, FGDC) • Support entity-based data models, as well as interchange with linked open data, including BIBFRAME https://wiki.folio.org/display/COMMUNITY/FOLIO+Vision%2C+Strategic+Objectives+and+Initiatives

Wildly modified fromoriginal https://wiki.folio.org/display/FOLIOtips/Inventory diagram by Charlotte Whitt Build out linked data SRS? • Schema agnostic or BIBFRAME specific? • Connection to inventory must be schema specific • Internal or external editor?
