RDA (Resource Description and Access) is a new standard for describing library resources, designed to replace AACR2. Library staff, including public services, systems personnel, and catalogers, may have heard mention of RDA but not know much about it or how it will change their daily work. You may have many questions. What is RDA? We'll give a very little bit of history and theoretical background. What is this going to mean for catalogers, ILS managers, and users in the near term? What are the future implications, or, why are we doing this? What are the juicy bits of controversy in cataloger-land? And finally, Do we HAVE to? We'll talk for a while, have some activities that get you thinking, and find out your thoughts on RDA.
Presented at "Captains & Crew Collaborating," the 8th annual paraprofessional conference at J.Y. Joyner Library, East Carolina University.

Understanding RDF: the Resource Description Framework in Context (1999)Dan Brickley
Dan Brickley, 3rd European Commission Metadata Workshop, Luxemburg, April 12th 1999
Understanding RDF: the Resource Description Framework in Context
http://ilrt.org/discovery/2001/01/understanding-rdf/
The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) is responsible for the development and maintenance of International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD), UNIMARC, and the "Functional Requirements" family for bibliographic records (FRBR), authority data (FRAD), and subject authority data (FRSAD). ISBD underpins the MARC family of formats used by libraries world-wide for many millions of catalog records, while FRBR is a relatively new model optimized for users and the digital environment. These metadata models, schemas, and content rules are now being expressed in the Resource Description Framework language for use in the Semantic Web.
This webinar provides a general update on the work being undertaken. It describes the development of an Application Profile for ISBD to specify the sequence, repeatability, and mandatory status of its elements. It discusses issues involved in deriving linked data from legacy catalogue records based on monolithic and multi-part schemas following ISBD and FRBR, such as the duplication which arises from copy cataloging and FRBRization. The webinar provides practical examples of deriving high-quality linked data from the vast numbers of records created by libraries, and demonstrates how a shift of focus from records to linked-data triples can provide more efficient and effective user-centered resource discovery services.
Semantic - Based Querying Using Ontology in Relational Database of Library Ma...dannyijwest
The traditional Web stores huge amount of data in the form of Relational Databases (RDB) as it is good at
storing objects and relationships between them. Relational Databases are dynamic in nature which allows
bringing tables together helping user to search for related material across multiple tables. RDB are
scalable to expand as the data grows. The RDB uses a Structured Query Language called SQL to access
the databases for several data retrieval purposes. As the world is moving today from the Syntactic form to
Semantic form and the Web is also taking its new form of Semantic Web. The Structured Query of the RDB
on web can be a Semantic Query on Semantic Web.
This tutorial explains the Data Web vision, some preliminary standards and technologies as well as some tools and technological building blocks developed by AKSW research group from Universität Leipzig.
MR^3: Meta-Model Management based on RDFs Revision ReflectionTakeshi Morita
We propose a tool to manage several sorts of relationships among RDF and RDFS. Our tool consists of three main functions: graphical editing of RDF contents, graphical editing of RDFS contents, and meta-model management facility. Metamodel management facility supports maintenance of relationship between RDF and RDFS contents. The above facilities are implemented based on plug-in system. We provide basic plug-in modules for consistency checking of RDFS classes and properties. The prototyping tool, called MR^3 (Meta-Model Management based on RDFs Revision Reflection), is implemented by Java language. Through the experiment of using MR^3, we show how MR^3 contributes the Semantic Web paradigm from the standpoint of RDFs contents management.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

3. RDA: resource description and access
“RDA is a package of data elements,
guidelines, and instructions for creating library
and cultural heritage resource metadata that
are well-formed according to international
models for user-focussed linked data
applications.”
RDA Board, 2015
http://www.rda-rsc.org/node/235
5. Linked data and RDF
Resource Description Framework (RDF)
Designed for machine-processing of metadata
at global scale (Semantic Web)
24/7/365
Trillions of operations per second
Everything must be dis-ambiguated
Machines are dumb
A simple approach helps!
Require machine-readable identifiers
6. RDF triple
Metadata expressed as “atomic” statements
A simple, single, irreducible statement
The title of this book is “RDA is fun!”
Constructed in 3 parts
“Triple”
The title of this book is “RDA is fun!”
Subject of the statement = Subject: This book
Nature of the statement = Predicate: has title
Value of the statement = Object: “RDA is fun!”
This book – has title – “RDA is fun!”
Syntax: subject – predicate - object
7. Machine-readable identifiers
Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)
Can be any unique combination of numbers and
letters
No intrinsic meaning; it is just an identifier
RDF requires the subject and predicate of triple
to be URIs
Object can be a URI, or a literal string (“RDA is fun!”)
URIs can be matched by machine to link triples
together in chains and clusters
8. title
“Ode to himself”
Ben Jonson
Place X
Parchment
This ms
author
“Jonson, Ben”
“abcxyz”
birthplace
normalised name
coordinates
material “Requires ...”
location
treatment
Manuscript example: RDF graph
9. Linked data vocabularies
Each thing is globally identified by a URI
A thing may be identified by more than one URI
A URI must identify only one thing
Each thing is linked to, and humanly identified
by, a label and/or definition.
A thing may be identified by more than one label
A label may identify more than one thing
Labels are fashionable, and at the mercy of
convention and trend
10. 3 types of linked data vocabulary
Datasets (e.g. datos.bne.es)
Individual things
E.g. specific Person, Item, Place, etc.
Value vocabularies
Concepts, terminologies
E.g. subject headings, thesauri, etc.
Element sets
Types of thing (classes); types of relationship between
things
E.g. Person, place of birth, supervisor, etc.
11. RDA in RDF
RDA controlled terminologies represented as
RDF value vocabularies
Example: RDA carrier type vocabulary
Entities, attributes, and relationships
represented as RDF element sets
Entities represented in RDF as classes
Attributes and relationships represented in RDF as
properties (“predicates”)
12. RDA entities
FRBR Work-Expression-Manifestation-Item
Discrete components of a resource; avoids duplication
of data
E.g. Work creator and Expression language are linked
to, not copied in, multiple Manifestation descriptions
E.g. printed book, digitized book, and e-book
FRBR Person, Family, and Corporate Body
Agents related to a resource
FRBR-LRM introduces new entities for Place,
Timespan, and Nomen (name) [expected 2016]

relationships
14. RDA Registry: rdaregistry.info
RDA Reference
Elements, attributes, relationships

Translations and partial translations
15. Formal or canonical URI is “opaque”
- not intended for human readability
Lexical URI is intended for human readability

20. Unconstrained linked data
Remove FRBR
model to
“dumb-down”
semantics to
common level
of granularity
“resources”
and “agents”
Example: Contributor
Relates a resource to an agent
contributing to a resource.
