The Web of Data - Ralph Swick, Domain Lead of the Information and Knowledge Domain at W3C
Libraries around the world have a long tradition of maintaining authority files to assure the consistent presentation and indexing of names. As library authority files have become available online, the authority data has become accessible -- and many have been published as Linked Open Data (LOD) -- but names in one library authority file typically had no link to corresponding records for persons and organizations in other library authority files. After a successful experiment in matching the Library of Congress/NACO authority file with the German National Library's authority file, an online system called the Virtual International Authority File was developed to facilitate sharing by ingesting, matching, and displaying the relations between records in multiple authority files.
The Virtual International Authority File (VIAF) has grown from three source files in 2007 to more than two dozen files today. The system harvests authority records, enhances them with bibliographic information and brings them together into clusters when it is confident the records describe the same identity. Although the most visible part of VIAF is a HTML interface, the API beneath it supports a linked data view of VIAF with URIs representing the identities themselves, not just URIs for the clusters. It supports names for person, corporations, geographic entities, works, and expressions. With English, French, German, Spanish interfaces (and a Japanese in process), the system is used around the world, with over a million queries per day.
Speaker
Thomas Hickey is Chief Scientist at OCLC where he helped found OCLC Research. Current interests include metadata creation and editing systems, authority control, parallel systems for bibliographic processing, and information retrieval and display. In addition to implementing VIAF, his group looks into exploring Web access to metadata, identification of FRBR works and expressions in WorldCat, the algorithmic creation of authorities, and the characterization of collections. He has an undergraduate degree in Physics and a Ph.D. in Library and Information Science.
The document discusses a webinar presented by NISO and DCMI on Schema.org and Linked Data. The webinar provides an overview of Schema.org and Linked Data, examines the advantages and challenges of using RDF and Linked Data, looks at Schema.org in more detail, and discusses how Schema.org and Linked Data can be combined. The goals of the webinar are to illustrate the different design choices for identifying entities and describing structured data, integrating vocabularies, and incentives for publishing accurate data, as well as to help guide adoption of Schema.org and Linked Data approaches.
Metadata Training for Staff and Librarians for the New Data EnvironmentDiane Hillmann
The document summarizes a training program on metadata and structured data. It discusses the goals of offering participatory training for libraries, challenges with current webinar-style training, and an overview of the planned training which includes topics like the definition of metadata, different data types, identifiers, and graph-based data modeling. It also includes sample exercises for participants and asks for feedback on the overall training plan.
About the Webinar
The library and cultural institution communities have generally accepted the vision of moving to a Linked Data environment that will align and integrate their resources with those of the greater Semantic Web. But moving from vision to implementation is not easy or well-understood. A number of institutions have begun the needed infrastructure and tools development with pilot projects to provide structured data in support of discovery and navigation services for their collections and resources.
Join NISO for this webinar where speakers will highlight actual Linked Data projects within their institutions—from envisioning the model to implementation and lessons learned—and present their thoughts on how linked data benefits research, scholarly communications, and publishing.

4.2.15 Slides, “Hydra: many heads, many connections. Enriching Fedora Reposit...DuraSpace
This document summarizes a webinar presented by ORCID on integrating ORCID persistent identifiers with repositories like DSpace, Fedora, and VIVO. It discusses how ORCID helps disambiguate author identities and connect researcher works and metadata to external sources to better demonstrate research impact. The webinar presents how Notre Dame has integrated ORCID into its Hydra-powered institutional repository, CurateND, allowing users to create and link to ORCID IDs and share metadata between the systems. It outlines the architecture and benefits of the integration as well as plans to promote its adoption.
VIVO is a semantic web application that enables discovery of research across disciplines in an institution. It allows granular editing of profiles while also ingesting data automatically from sources like HR systems. The presenter discussed VIVO's history and architecture, how it exposes linked open data through SPARQL queries and RDF views. Visualizations like co-authorship networks and implementations at various universities were also covered.
The universe of linked data is rapidly expanding and our community is finding innovative ways to link and apply data. This session will cover several initiatives and projects using linked data to improve discovery and reuse of information.
Speakers: Richard Wallis, Technology Evangelist, OCLC; Tom Johnson, Digital Applications Librarian, Oregon State University
As described in the April NISO/DCMI webinar by Dan Brickley, schema.org is a search-engine initiative aimed at helping webmasters use structured data markup to improve the discovery and display of search results. Drupal 7 makes it easy to markup HTML pages with schema.org terms, allowing users to quickly build websites with structured data that can be understood by Google and displayed as Rich Snippets.
Improved search results are only part of the story, however. Data-bearing documents become machine-processable once you find them. The subject matter, important facts, calendar events, authorship, licensing, and whatever else you might like to share become there for the taking. Sales reports, RSS feeds, industry analysis, maps, diagrams and process artifacts can now connect back to other data sets to provide linkage to context and related content. The key to this is the adoption standards for both the data model (RDF) and the means of weaving it into documents (RDFa). Drupal 7 has become the leading content platform to adopt these standards.
This webinar will describe how RDFa and Drupal 7 can improve how organizations publish information and data on the Web for both internal and external consumption. It will discuss what is required to use these features and how they impact publication workflow. The talk will focus on high-level and accessible demonstrations of what is possible. Technical people should learn how to proceed while non-technical people will learn what is possible.
The document discusses how libraries can better connect their resources to the web of data through linked data and BIBFRAME in order to improve discovery of library materials. It notes that traditional library metadata and cataloging is no longer sufficient and that libraries need to start linking their resources instead of just copying records. By making resources discoverable through linked data, libraries have an opportunity to reassert their role as a source for all materials, both physical and digital.
The document discusses the social semantic web, which aims to interconnect social web platforms using semantic technologies. It describes how people interact and share content on the social web through activities like creating content, tagging content, stating relationships, and exchanging messages. It outlines some limitations of isolated social platforms and databases. It also covers folksonomies for representing user-generated tags, and vocabularies like SIOC, FOAF, and MOAT that can be used to semantically describe social web data. Finally, it proposes a vision for semantic social web tools to provide personalized learning recommendations and connections by leveraging social relationships and feedback.
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.
Overview of the ITS department's projects, services, and staff. A look at our areas, including IT infrastructure, eresources management, digital library services, and admin & communication.
The explosion in growth of the Web of Linked Data has provided, for the first time, a plethora of information in disparate locations, yet bound together by machine-readable, semantically typed relations. Utilisation of the Web of Data has been, until now, restricted to the members of the community, eating their own dogfood, so to speak. To the regular web user browsing Facebook and watching YouTube, this utility is yet to be realised. The primary factor inhibiting uptake is the usability of the Web of Data, where users are required to have prior knowledge of elements from the Semantic Web technology stack. Our solution to this problem is to hide the stack, allowing end users to browse the Web of Data, explore the information it contains, discover knowledge, and use Linked Data. We propose a template-based visualisation approach where information attributed to a given resource is rendered according to the rdf:type of the instance.
This document discusses transforming open government data from Romania into linked open data. It begins with background on linked data and open data initiatives. Then it describes efforts to model, transform, link, and publish Romanian open data as linked open data. This includes identifying common vocabularies and properties, creating URIs, linking to external datasets like DBPedia, and publishing the linked data for use in applications via a SPARQL endpoint. Overall the goal is to make this data more accessible and interoperable through semantic web standards.
Linked Data for Libraries: Experiments between Cornell, Harvard and StanfordSimeon Warner
The Linked Data for Libraries (LD4L) project aims to connect bibliographic, person, and usage data from Cornell, Harvard, and Stanford using linked open data. The project is developing an extensible LD4L ontology based on existing standards like BIBFRAME and VIVO. It is working to transform over 30 million bibliographic records into linked data and demonstrate cross-institutional search. The goals are to provide richer discovery and context for scholarly resources by connecting previously isolated library data.
This document summarizes a webinar on deploying Resource Description and Access (RDA) cataloging and expressing it as linked data. The webinar speaker, Alan Danskin from the British Library, discussed RDA as a cataloging standard that provides guidelines for describing resources to support discovery. He explained how RDA works with linked data by using entities, relationships, and attributes expressed as URIs. Challenges in applying RDA as linked data include the complexity of the FRBR model and publishing RDA vocabularies as linked open data. Application profiles help apply RDA by defining the metadata elements, policies, and guidelines for a specific domain or community.
This document summarizes Rob Sanderson's presentation on linked data best practices and BibFrame. It finds that while BibFrame 2.0 shows some improvement, it still does not fully conform to linked data best practices. Specifically, it does not sufficiently reuse existing vocabularies, relate terms outside its namespace, or drop remaining non-URI identifiers. It also finds that the MARC to BibFrame conversion tools are insufficient for production use and need to be more openly developed and documented to support implementation by the linked data community.

For example, some libraries allow digitization, renewals, and home delivery. The future of ILL depends on embracing changes in technology, user expectations, and cooperation between libraries.
This document discusses interlibrary loan policies, trends, and practices. It defines interlibrary loan as the process where a library requests materials from or supplies materials to another library. The main purposes of interlibrary loan in an academic library are to serve disciplinary researchers and reduce costs by borrowing materials that are not heavily used. The process involves patrons requesting unavailable items, libraries searching for the items across consortium members, and materials being delivered physically or electronically depending on the item. Trends include lending audiovisual materials, e-readers, open access, and hiring more staff to manage interlibrary loan services. The conclusion discusses how interlibrary loan has historically involved tradeoffs between fast, cheap and easy delivery but innovation may help achieve all three
The document summarizes Denmark's national interlibrary loan system. It discusses the framework including relevant library laws, principles and guidelines. It notes that interlibrary loan is free in Denmark. Statistics are provided showing the high volume of requests, which are fulfilled through an extensive transportation system and the use of a national union catalog and automation system. The interlibrary loan staff work to provide access to materials regardless of location through principles of cooperation and low barriers to resource sharing.
This document assesses the use of Direct Request and Knowledge Base linking in interlibrary loan. For borrowing, Direct Request filled 30% of requests and saved an average of 4.48 days per request. However, 70% of requests were not filled through Direct Request. For lending, 574 Knowledge Base requests were received in 3 months, increasing lending by 25%. Links worked for 70% of requests but saved staff significant time for filled requests. Overall, Direct Request and Knowledge Base linking streamlined processes but had limitations from unfilled or broken links.

Jesus Espinoza - Interlibrary Loan in the ever-changing Academic Library - BO...BOBCATSSS 2017
This document discusses how interlibrary loan (ILL) departments in academic libraries have been impacted by ebooks and shrinking collections. It notes that libraries have less ability to lend ebooks from their collections. The Occam's Reader platform enables some ebook lending between libraries. Open access materials have increased ILL requests as patrons seek materials libraries may not own. The UC Santa Cruz library increased ILL usage through outreach and marketing, including at orientations and library events. Overall libraries need more ebook lending options and collaboration to meet patrons' information needs in the digital environment.
When Worlds Collide: Interlibrary Loan and Special CollectionsBoston College
Although some academic libraries have successfully lent special collections materials for decades, most still consider it a controversial, even heretical practice. This session will familiarize attendees with newly updated ACRL Guidelines for the Interlibrary Loan of Rare and Unique Materials and current best practices, including recommendations from the OCLC Research/RLG Programs "Sharing Special Collections" advisory group. Panelists will discuss model initiatives showing how special collections and interlibrary loan librarians can build trusting and collaborative relationships.
ILL Toolbox: Ways to Increase Efficiency and Productivity in Interlibrary Loanalisonjohnson53
This document summarizes a presentation on ways to increase efficiency and productivity in interlibrary loan (ILL). It discusses essential, specialized, and power tools for ILL, including OCLC Resource Sharing and FirstSearch, ILLiad, custom holdings in OCLC, direct request in OCLC, and Knowledge Base and Article Exchange in OCLC. It provides links to information and tutorials about implementing these tools to streamline ILL work flows and processes. The presentation aims to help libraries choose the right ILL tools for their needs and maximize the use of available OCLC services.

Joe Mcarthur presented on tools from the Open Access Button that help integrate open access options into interlibrary loan workflows. This includes DeliverOA which checks for open access versions when processing ILL requests, EmbedOA which adds an OA search bar to library webpages, and OAsheet which checks a list of articles for open access availability. Mcarthur discussed Imperial College London's experience piloting these tools, finding potential to reduce delivery times by 16% by providing open access and paid content more directly. Challenges include explaining different article versions and lack of funding, but improvements and new tools are in development.

Evaluating and Selecting Library Services PlatformNEWmahongzn
This document summarizes the process undertaken by Loyola University Chicago Libraries to evaluate and select a new library services platform (LSP). An exploratory committee was formed to research available options and structure a selection process. The committee educated staff on LSPs, identified top candidates, developed an RFP, and had vendors do on-site demonstrations using prepared scripts. Feedback was gathered from staff. The committee also interviewed other libraries using the candidate LSPs. A report was produced highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of the two finalist platforms - OCLC's WMS/WorldCat Discovery and Ex Libris's Alma/Primo - based on technical services, public services, discovery and more. Loyola ultimately selected Alma/

The session discussed open access policies and infrastructure, lessons learned like automating metadata and differentiating systems, and future plans like research data management and author profiling services. Attendees were encouraged to ask questions about CRO's role in advocating for open access at City University London.
Getaneh Alemu (Southampton Solent) - The existing challenges and opportunitie...sherif user group
This document summarizes the existing challenges and opportunities in the cataloguing and metadata function of Southampton Solent University. It discusses efforts to catalog print and electronic resources using standards like RDA and WebDewey. It also covers the implementation of discovery services like Primo and efforts to meet user needs through continuous metadata enrichment. This includes importing controlled vocabularies, standardizing records, and avoiding duplication through techniques like WEMI and FRBRization. The goal is to provide rich, high quality, and interoperable metadata to improve resource discovery.
Sherif Metadata Talk - London (June 25th 2018)Getaneh Alemu
This document summarizes the existing challenges and opportunities in the cataloguing and metadata function of Southampton Solent University. It discusses how the university has shifted to primarily electronic resources and moved to enrich metadata through standards like RDA. It also touches on balancing metadata quality with completeness while avoiding duplication through techniques like WEMI and FRBRization. The future of metadata is discussed as being enriched, linked, open and filtered.
In this paper one of the important library management software Koha has been discussed in details together with its need, features, implementation, customisation, data migration from Libsys to Koha, printer configuration in Koha and RFID integration with Koha.
This document discusses digital library architecture and proposes a service-based approach. It describes key principles like modularity, federation and distribution. It reviews existing examples like NCSTRL and Dienst that implement this approach. It also outlines ongoing research at Cornell on digital objects, resource discovery and collection definition to advance flexible, extensible and interoperable digital library architectures.
The document discusses updates in open source library systems and RFID technology. In the past year, several libraries migrated to the open source Koha system and one library migrated to Evergreen. Koha and Evergreen are among the top candidates for libraries looking to migrate their integrated library systems. The ISO finalized standards for RFID tagging in libraries that promote interoperability. The standards allow libraries to use RFID tags more fully than just for circulation by including additional data elements. Libraries are encouraged to demand compliance with ISO 28560 standards from RFID vendors and implementers to avoid vendor lock-in.
The document discusses three options for libraries to adopt linked data: BIBFRAME 2.0, Schema.org, and Linky MARC. BIBFRAME 2.0 is a library standard that allows standardized RDF interchange but is not recognized outside libraries. Schema.org is the de facto web standard that improves discovery on the web but lacks detail for library needs. Linky MARC adds URIs to MARC without changing its format. The document evaluates the pros and cons of each and who may want to adopt each standard.
Advocating Open Access: Before, during and after HEFCENick Sheppard
Since “self-archiving” of research outputs was first mooted in the mid-1990s, initiatives towards “green” Open Access (OA) across the sector have met with generally limited success and coverage in institutional and subject repositories is generally cited at around 20-30%. However, since the Finch report in 2012 combined with OA policies from RCUK, also in 2012, and HEFCE the following year, there is little doubt that a tipping point of awareness has been reached. This session will aim to contextualise the HEFCE policy in the broader history of Open Access and present a case study of a non-research intensive University and how the repository manager has sought to liaise with academic support services in order to facilitate knowledge exchange across the University. - See more at: http://www.cilip.org.uk/events/open-access-advocacy#sthash.9YqReHt0.dpuf

NISO Webinar
21st Century Resource Sharing:
Which Inter-Library Loan
Standard Should I Use?
October 15, 2014
Speakers:
Ted Koppel, Product Manager, VERSO® ILS – Auto-Graphics, Inc.
Margaret Ellingson, Head of Interlibrary Loan and Course Reserves,
Robert W. Woodruff Library, Emory University
Ryan Litsey, Document Delivery/Interlibrary Loan Assistant Librarian,

2. Has “Rethinking Resource
Sharing” Succeeded? – A Survey
of Resource Sharing Protocols
Ten Years Later
Ted Koppel
Auto-Graphics, Inc.
October 15, 2014
NISO Webinar: 21st
Century Resource Sharing:
Which Inter-Library Loan
Standard Should I Use?
3. What insight do I bring?
• One of the original authors of Rethinking Resource
Sharing document
• Member of IPIG (ISO 10160 standards group)
• Member of NCIP Standards committee 2002-present
(with a minor gap)
• Co-Chair – SIP3 Working Group
• Participant in various standards committees that promote
interoperability
• Worked in standards development and implementation
with several ILS vendors
4. Brief Review – what was the RRS document??
• Document written by colleagues (mostly from IPIG group
that had just worked on the 2002 revision)
• NCIP was just getting going – not sure whether it would
be implemented
• Motivated somewhat by OCLC’s 2003 Environmental
Scan – Pattern Recognition:
– Self sufficiency
– Satisfaction
– Seamlessness
5. Motivators for RRS document
• Uneasiness about what the 2003 ISO
Revision did and didn’t do:
• Still used ASN1-BER encoding
• Minimal new functionality
• Little business case to build to it
• Promoted monolithic, centralized functionality on what
was seen as a peer function
• Didn’t significantly lower costs to libraries
• Didn’t support unmediated ILL well
6. Rethinking Resource Sharing - Goals
• More capable than previous protocols
• Less expensive to develop (ILS and other
providers
• Easier to use
• Easier to interoperate with ILS and other
systems
7. RRS Ten Years Later
• Rethinking Resource Sharing Initiative
(organization: http://www.rethinkingresourcesharing.org)
• Star checklist to vet and recognize libraries that meet
various functional and procedural standards
• Wrote and promoted RRS Manifesto
• Awards for innovation
• Involved in Discovery and Delivery initiatives
8. Concentration on Workflow
• RRS efforts have largely been pointed to:
o Workflow
o Record keeping
o Policies, policy-making and execution
o Fee management
9. Jigsaw Puzzle of Resource Sharing
• Discovery – has gotten much easier
– Physical union catalogs continue to exist
• Tennessee
• Louisiana
– 100% Virtual union catalogs
• MassVC
• Mississippi
– Major recent trend in Hybrid state or consortium union catalogs:
• Some / many virtual libraries, some physical
10. Jigsaw Puzzle (2)
• Linkage between ILL and ILS systems
– Do the ILL transaction using ILL mechanism (ISO 10160,
proprietary)
– Communicate with the ILS system using NCIP messaging to
manage the resulting circulation transaction (CILL) – let ILS
handle the hold pickup notice and the checkout
– Reverse direction for an item to be returned
– See: http://www.niso.org/publications/isq/2011/v23no4/jackson
11. ISO 10160, 10161, 10161-2
• Messages and protocol to enable ILL request / fulfillment
process
• Based on National Library of Canada’s ILL procedures
circa 1985-1986
• 1991: ISO standard
• 1997: 2nd edition, no significant changes
• 2004: 3rd edition passed and then withdrawn
• 2007: 2nd edition reconfirmed, no changes
• 2014 : 2nd edition reconfirmed, no changes
12. ISO 10160, 10161, 10161-2
It works.
• ASN.1-BER encoding (effective but
somewhat of a lost art)
• Based largely on strict state tables
• Assumes centralized clearing function
13. NISO Circulation Interchange Protocol
– Z39.83
• “remote circulation” functionality
– 45+ messages and responses, broadly separated into
the following services:
• Lookup services (identify something!)
• Update services (do something!)
• Notification services (tell me what you did)
– Three application profiles (groups of messages to do a
task)
• DCB (Direct Consortial Borrowing)
• CILL (Circulation – ILL connection)
• Self-service
14. NCIP features
• XML messages (many tools, easy to manipulate)
• Complex, versatile objects
• Messages and message set flexibility
• Real-time
• Sessionless
• Active ongoing maintenance group
• See: http://www.ncip.info
15. SIP2 and SIP3
• SIP and SIP2 originally created by 3M for serial ports
• Began as communications mechanism between ILS and
3M self-service machines
• Now widely used for interoperability between ILS and
many other third party devices and software:
– Computer reservations
– Authentication
– Fine payment
– Print management
• Message and response based
• Structured text (not XML)
16. SIP3 working group
• Editorial work in progress on revised
version
– A number of new messages
– Privacy and security issues
– Many messages have far greater more
granular payloads
• Projected draft early 2015
17. ISO 18626 Interlibrary Loan Transactions
• Approved July 2014
• Very promising development
• Designed to replace ISO 10160 family
• See: http://illtransactions.org/
• Three messages (not 21!)
– Request
– Supplying library message
– Requesting library message
18. ISO 18626
• Stateless
• XML structured messages
• http and https communications
• Aligned with NCIP for terminology and use
However:
• Like any interoperability standard, it takes two sides to
communicate
• Early work is being done, but ISO 18626 will take several
years for widespread industry adoption
19. Drawing the lines
• ISO 10160 - (and eventually ISO 18626) –
resource sharing requests to known (or
unknown) trading partners.
• NCIP - transactions and requests between
known trading partners – e.g. within a consortium
• SIP 2/3 – Usually not for resource sharing, but
rather for internal software and device control
20. Library Communication Format (LCF)
• Developed with support from BIC (Book Industry
Commission, UK) – interested in book supply chain
• Purports to go beyond SIP2/3 and NCIP in that it has
explicit support for RFID transactions
• See:
http://www.bic.org.uk/e4libraries/16/INTEROPERABILIT
Y-STANDARDS/
21. LCF (2)
• Has been described as a meta-format that takes
into account SIP and NCIP and optimizes for
RFID
• Too soon to know:
– Adoption
– Business case
22. In conclusion
• Resource sharing services have improved
since RRS was released
– Self-service (unmediated ILL) is more common
– Discovery is better
– Intra- and inter-state (and consortium sharing) has
grown dramatically
• Interoperability lagged behind …. But …
23. Reason to be hopeful
• NCIP and NCIP-based resource sharing systems are
popping up across the country
• New initiatives (ISO 18626 and possibly LCF) are being
developed to address infrastructural issues
• Time will tell – will library demand make a business
case for developing new resource sharing products?

Editor's Notes
Our 38,000 requests filled = 96% of ILL at Emory
[TTU] – General welcome and introductions
[TTU] - Explain why it is called Occam’s Reader
[GWLA]
Kenny, Ryan, Joni
Arthur, Wing, Erin, Naomi
[TTU]
[UHM]
The Occam’s Reader project needed to create its own viewer because it requires a unique way of serving the files. Occam's images are dynamically generated, put into a temporary directory, and then accessed via custom authentication before serving the images
TTU saw the Loris IIIF Image Server at a Code4lib conference and shared the information with the UHM team. UHM then examined the Loris demo and discovered that it used OpenSeadragon, an open source library for displaying images in the browser.
-OpenSeadragon strengths are that it is plug-and-play, customizable, and has relatively small in file size and thus does not eat up the computer's/browser's memory.
-UHM team customized the viewer to use Javascript to handle functions like next page, previous page, jump to page, keyboard controls, and click controls.
-Viewer programming total: 38+ hours
- html5 research: 8 hours
- html5 implementation: 2 hours
- php implementation: 4 hours
- javascript implementation: 10 hours
- OpenSeadragon research and API referencing: 10 hours
- CSS (styling): 4 hours
