Are you curious about the brave new world of post-MARC cataloging? Are you wondering what this BIBFRAME, Linked Data mumbo-jumbo you keep hearing about is, anyway? Attend this session to see demonstrations of a variety of tools to see how they each do their best to answer the question of what cataloging without MARC will be like, and what they can do in terms of transforming our catalogs' legacy MARC data. Tools covered will include: RDA in Many Metadata Formats (RIMMF), BIBFRAME Editors (from the Library of Congress and Zepheira), and OpenRefine.
Presenter: Emily Nimsakont, Head of Cataloging & Resource Management, Schmid Law Library, University of Nebraska College of Law.

The Bibliographic Framework Initiative, or BIBFRAME, is intended to provide a replacement to the MARC format as an encoding standard for library catalogs. Its aim is to move library data into a Linked Data format, allowing it to interact with other data on the Web. In this session, Emily Nimsakont, the NLC’s Cataloging Librarian, will cover the basics of BIBFRAME, describe what it can provide for users of library catalogs that MARC can’t, and outline what librarians should be aware of regarding this change in the cataloging landscape.

The goal of the Semantic Web is
to create a universal medium for the exchange of DATA.
The Data Web envisions the web as a world-wide interlinked structured data.
Linked Data: turning the web into a context graphLeigh Dodds
A presentation I gave at Strataconf 2012. I reviewed the concepts of Linked Data and argued that while the approach has come from the semantic web community, there are interesting parallels with efforts from Facebook and Schema.org. Linked Data provides a way for us to create resolvable identifiers + discover useful data by just using the web infrastructure more effectively.
Short presentation I gave at the Reading Semantic Web meetup about the Linked Data patterns book.
The talk outlined the major areas in which we can look for patterns and noted some areas for further work.
Registration / Certification Interoperability Architecture (overlay peer-review)Herbert Van de Sompel
Presentation for the COAR meeting on Overlay Peer-Review held at INRIA, Paris, France. It provides overall context regarding a scholarly communication system in which the core functions of scholarly communication (registration, certification, awareness, archiving) are implemented in a decoupled manner and whereby each function can simultaneously be fulfilled by different parties, potentially in different ways. It shows how notifications can be used to achieve loosely coupled, point-to-point interoperability in such an environment, zooming in on interoperability between registration and certification aka interoperability between repositories and overlay peer-review services.
Slides from my talk at the Sept'09 Linked Data Meetup in London. The talk introduces the DataIncubator.org project, reviewing its aims and progress to date.

Beyond MARC: BIBFRAME and the Future of Bibliographic DataEmily Nimsakont
The Bibliographic Framework Initiative, or BIBFRAME, is intended to provide a replacement to the MARC format as an encoding standard for library catalogs.

A lot of talk about the future of the internet sounds almost hippie-spiritual or faux-philosophical. The Internet is not the same as the world-wide-web. But the Internet-of-Things and the Semantic Web - all parts of Web 3.0, are beginning to be very important to our learning environments. Here is a summary of key features, ranging from access, creativity, and information architecture.

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.

4. Wikipedia says…
“Linked Data describes a method of publishing
structured data, so that it can be interlinked
and become more useful. It builds upon standard
web technologies, such as HTTP and URIs - but
rather than using them to serve web pages for
human readers, it extends them to share
information in a way that can be read
automatically by computers.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linked_Data
9. We are used to connecting pieces of information
based on their context.

12. “Just as the traditional document Web can be
crawled by following hypertext links, the Web of
Data can be crawled by following RDF links.
Working on the crawled data, search engines can
provide sophisticated query capabilities...
Because the query results themselves are
structured data, not just links to HTML pages, they
can be immediately processed, thus enabling a
new class of applications based on the Web of
Data.”

18. “…the Library community’s data carrier,
MARC, is ‘based on forty-year-old
techniques for data management and is out
of step with programming styles of today.’”
“…something new is now
needed…”
“The new bibliographic framework project
will be focused on…Linked Data
principles and mechanisms…”

25. Library of Congress’s Summary
1. Libraries have a huge amount of identifiers
2. No other community does authorities like we
do
3. We identify, structure, organize data in
different ways
4. With BIBFRAME we can leverage existing
Web standards make library content more
visible on the Web
5. Translate MARC skills and practices into a
Linked Data context
