Linked Data and RDA: Looking at Next-Generation CatalogingJenn Riley
Riley, Jenn. "Linked Data and RDA: Looking at Next-Generation Cataloging." University of North Carolina Library Digital Discussions Series, August 9, 2012.
This chapter discusses managing organizational data and information. It covers the traditional file environment and its problems, how databases provide a modern approach, database management systems, and logical data models including hierarchical, network and relational models. The key topics are data arrangement, traditional file problems like redundancy and inconsistency, how databases solve these with concepts like entities and relationships, data definition and manipulation languages, and the advantages of relational modeling.
This session will comprise a talk with a panel of speakers
looking at KBART: seven years later (since the publication
of the first set of recommendations up to today). The panel
will discuss the changes on the e-resources metadata
landscape, the benefits of KBART and the challenges of
its implementation. Today poor metadata in the electronic
resources supply chain is still a problem. The panel will
use practical examples to explain how metadata creation,
consumption and usage are marked by the constant
requirement of finding the balance between available
resources (technical and human) and end user discoverability
needs. The KBART Standing Committee sees the
implementation of KBART recommendations as a community
effort from a range of stakeholders (content providers,
knowledge bases, link resolvers and librarians).
Introducing Siderean Software (PC Forum 2005)Bradley Allen
Siderean Software introduces their navigation server technology, which organizes and searches information in a flexible way that mirrors how people naturally think. Unlike other approaches, it provides a multidimensional view of all available information so users can quickly find what they need. Early customers in retail, technology, education and government saw benefits like improved information quality and the ability for both consumers and producers to better understand each other.
The document discusses using Web Oriented Architecture (WOA) principles and technologies to improve transparency, collaboration, and information sharing through publishing and linking government data on the Web. It describes exposing raw data and semantically enriched structured data as public records. Technologies that enable interoperability across disparate data sources for large-scale data federation are also described. Finally, the applicability of the proposed solution architecture to existing frameworks is discussed.
The following was presented at the Semantic Technology conference in March of 2006 in San Jose California. This case study examines the extension of the National
Information Exchange Model NIEM to include K-12
education metadata. NIEM’s compliance with ISO/IEC
11179 metadata standards was found to be critical for
cost-effective system interoperability. This study indicates
that extending the NIEM can be compatible with newer
RDF and OWL metadata standards. We discuss how this
strategy will dramatically lower data integration costs and
make longitudinal data analysis more cost-effective. We
make recommendations for state education agencies,
federal policy makers, and metadata standards
organizations. The conclusion discusses the possible
impacts of recent innovations in collaborative metadata
standards efforts.
The document discusses using semantic web technologies like linked data and vocabularies to integrate government data on Data.gov. It describes how common and domain-specific vocabularies can be used along with URI schemes to connect related data across agencies. Interlinking vocabularies allow integration of metadata and data without changing existing schemas. Social media features could be added to make vocabularies and data function as social objects that users can annotate and discuss.

W3C Library Linked Data Incubator Group: Review of the Final ReportF. Tim Knight
This report is a snapshot describing the current state of library data management. It outlines the potential benefits of publishing library data as Linked Data and provides recommendations for library standards bodies, data and systems designers, librarians and archivists, and library leaders.
There are two supplementary reports that provide additional detail. The first is the "Use Cases" describing library applications that take advantage of the benefits of adopting Linked Data standards and principles involved in publishing things like bibliographic data, concept schemes, and authority files. The second supplementary report "Datasets, Value Vocabularies, and Metadata Element Sets" provides a list of resources available for creating library Linked Data . There are several additional documents available on the W3C's Semantic Web wiki <http: /> and there is discussion list public-lld <http: />, which are both open to interested members of the public.
Moving to the network level:discovery and disclosurelisld
The bundle of functionality encapsulated in the library catalog is an artifact of a particular phase of library operations. We are now seeing a move to a different model where discovery needs to happen in a variety of network environments. This means that the library has to think about reconfiguring its systems and services. It becomes important to think about how to disclose their offerings into the places where users are.
This document provides an overview of TING.concept, which is a foundation for digital library integration and innovation. It discusses why TING.concept is needed to ensure library services are relevant in the digital age and compete effectively. It describes what TING.concept is - an open ecosystem based on APIs and web services that can integrate content from libraries and providers and support discovery across systems. It provides details on the TING.concept community and examples of current projects and partnerships.
A data model is a conceptual representation of the required data structures and rules for a database. It focuses on what data is needed and how it should be organized, rather than operations on the data. A data model represents data as users see it in the real world, acting as a bridge between real-world concepts and their physical representation in a database. It is independent of software or hardware and represents data as users experience it.
This document provides a literature review of NoSQL databases. It discusses how the rise of big data from sources like social media, sensors, and surveillance footage has led organizations to adopt NoSQL databases that can handle large volumes of unstructured data more efficiently than traditional relational databases. The document evaluates several popular NoSQL databases like MongoDB, Cassandra, and HBase, categorizing them as either document stores, column family databases, or key-value stores. It also provides examples of major companies that use NoSQL and discusses factors like flexibility and scalability that have driven adoption.
The document summarizes four "real world worst practices" from Sharon James and Tim Clark's presentation at the Social Connections 13 conference in Philadelphia on April 26-27, 2018. The four practices are: 1) assuming users will adopt a system if you build it without an adoption plan; 2) going from no system to a fully deployed production system without proper planning or testing; 3) deploying all components of a new system at once without phased testing and deployment; 4) improperly tuning a system by not ensuring equivalent node specifications, neglecting data source tuning, failing to revisit JVM tuning, and incorrectly assuming adding resources will solve problems.
Allan Glen from the City and County of Denver presented on Denver's Open Data Initiative at the 2013 Regional Data Summit. Previously, Denver's GIS data was available for download but required restrictive licensing agreements. Denver has since launched an open data portal, data.denvergov.org, to make city data more freely available under a Creative Commons license. The portal has seen increasing usage, with over 14,000 visits and 105,000 page views in its first six months. Denver plans to continue expanding its open data program by adding more datasets and hiring an Open Data Architect.
Enabling re-use via CKAN: discoverability and interoperabilityIrina Bolychevsky
Talk at @OpenDataWeek in Marseille focused on how technology can power discoverability and interoperability and why they are important. Showcases CKAN's search and discovery functionality, harvesting abilities and data catalog interoperability protocol.
The Journal of Research Objects (JRO) is an experimental semantic publishing platform. We make it possible for researchers to publish Jupyter notebooks and define them as research objects (ROs). We make it easy for users to claim objects from repositories such as Figshare, Git, etc, draw and specify relations across claimed objects and the Jupyter notebook describing their experiment, software, dataset, etc. Users can also enrich the metadata of the resulting agregation. The publication is available as RDF, JSON and Jupyter Notebook; users can build their notebooks from Git repositories. We are also making it possible for researchers to define nanopublications over a simple UI and publish them as RDF or JSON as well as in human intelligible objects -these can later be related to other objects defining in this way an RO. All our publications are available over an instance of NEO4J as well as over a SPARQL endpoint.
1. The document discusses connecting scholarly data and documents through interoperability rather than keeping them independent.
2. It proposes a system for claiming research assets and outputs on a peer-to-peer layer to account for all research outputs independently from any single web application.
3. This system would use smart contracts and reward tokens to identify contributions made through the research process and incentivize open science practices.
Navigation Through Social Computing (Enterprise Search Summit 2008)Bradley Allen
The document discusses how social computing is impacting navigation and search in enterprises. It describes how everyone can now contribute metadata through their online activities like tagging and bookmarking. This user-generated metadata can then be used to facilitate navigation through faceted browsing and relational systems that connect people, content and usage data. Social computing is producing rich metadata that supports new models of navigation beyond traditional search.

Jisc Research Data Shared Service Open Repositories 2018 PaperJisc RDM
The document discusses Jisc's plans to develop a national research data shared service in the UK. It provides context on open science policies and the need for research data management and preservation. It then summarizes Jisc's proposal to create a multi-tenant research repository with integrated preservation systems. This would provide a scalable, sustainable platform to help universities meet requirements for managing and preserving research outputs including data, software, and publications. The service is currently in development with pilots planned, and would offer repositories, preservation, or an end-to-end solution to members.
Data Library Services In The Data Stewardship LifecycleChuck Humphrey
The document discusses lessons learned from the development of data library services in Canada over the past 20 years. It summarizes that collections were a driving force behind introducing data services, with institutions collaborating to help establish data as a library resource. Training has also been important for continued participation in data initiatives and allowing differences across institutions. However, national priorities and a collective forum are still needed to fully address concerns around data access and preservation.
Brief overview of linked data, RDA, FRBR, big data and sharing data ; discussion followed (based on Alastair Croll's presentation at ALA). robin fay @georgiawebgurl ; peter murray (lyrasis)
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 Open Data combines open data and linked data by making open data available on the web in a way that is machine-readable and semantically interlinked. It uses URIs and RDF to identify things and their properties and relationships, and links data from different sources to enable discovery of related data. Publishing and consuming Linked Open Data allows data sharing and integration to create new knowledge and applications. Key steps involve identifying, cleaning, and publishing data as RDF while linking it to other datasets, then consuming and combining it with other sources. Major Linked Open Data sources include data from governments, Wikipedia, and other organizations.
This document summarizes Linked Library Data initiatives and the role of the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative. It discusses how libraries are publishing structured data using vocabularies like FRBR, MARC, and RDA. It also outlines efforts to align library metadata with the Dublin Core Abstract Model and link library data on the web through the W3C Linked Data Incubator Group. The document concludes that distributing bibliographic control through linked data allows for greater interlinking and description of values as non-literal resources.
Todd Carpenter from the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) discussed challenges around data exchange and data citation. NISO is working on developing technical standards related to publishing and distributing data. There are many challenges to data sharing including issues around data scale, complexity, provenance, and mutability. NISO and other groups are working on standards around data citation formats, identifiers, and metadata to help address these issues and improve data discovery, attribution, and reuse. Future areas of work include author disambiguation, data equivalence, archiving, and rights management.

Linked Data allows information to be linked across the web using RDF standards and URIs. It utilizes triples consisting of a subject, predicate, and object to uniformly describe relationships between nodes and metadata. There are over 1,000 Linked Open Data sources that can be queried using SPARQL to retrieve and link external information to locally managed data. This enhances search, knowledge retrieval, and allows leveraging of external expertise without needing to develop it in-house. Linked Data is helping to realize Tim Berners-Lee's original vision of the Semantic Web by making more information on the web machine-readable and interconnected.
Linked data presentation for libraries (COMO)robin fay
The document provides an overview of linked data and libraries. It discusses basic principles of linked data such as reusing and linking data to make it reusable, easy to correct, and potentially useful to others. The document also discusses how linked data fits into the semantic web vision by allowing machines to better understand and utilize data. Finally, it discusses getting started with linked data through terminology, advantages, and modeling library data in linked data formats like RDF.
Cloud-based Linked Data Management for Self-service Application DevelopmentPeter Haase
Peter Haase and Michael Schmidt of fluid Operations AG presented on developing applications using linked open data. They discussed the increasing amount of linked open data available and challenges in building applications that integrate data from different sources and domains. Their Information Workbench platform aims to address these challenges by allowing users to discover, integrate, and customize applications using linked data in a no-code environment. Key components of the platform include virtualized integration of data sources and the vision of accessing linked data as a cloud-based data service.
Denodo: Enabling a Data Mesh Architecture and Data Sharing Culture at Landsba...Denodo
This document discusses Landsbankinn's implementation of a logical data warehouse and data mesh architecture using Denodo over five years. It summarizes that:
1) Landsbankinn initially implemented a logical data warehouse with Denodo to create a single point of access, business logic, and control for reporting across heterogeneous data sources.
2) Over the next two years, they expanded this to include additional data consumers and sources without requiring ETL.
3) They then realized a data mesh approach where domains owned and published their data was better, reducing complexity and meetings for mapping changes.
4) The current approach has domains developing and sharing views via a data mesh while the logical data warehouse combines them, improving governance and flexibility
Link Sets And Why They Are Important (EDF2012)Anja Jentzsch
This document discusses the importance of links between datasets on the semantic web. It outlines that while there are over 30 billion triples published as linked open data, less than 500 million of these are links between datasets. This limits the ability to connect data islands into a global web of data. The document then describes tools like the LATC platform that can help automate the process of identifying links between datasets through linkage rules and machine learning of rules. It provides examples of how the LATC workbench can be used to select datasets, write linkage rules, generate links, and ensure link quality.
The document discusses the evolution of the web from documents to data, and introduces linked data which publishes machine-readable data on the web that is explicitly defined and linked to other datasets. It then discusses question answering systems that take natural language questions and locate answers from document collections, including both closed-domain systems with restricted knowledge bases and open-domain systems that retrieve answers from the web. The document also presents the linked data technology stack and some examples of linked open data clouds from 2007 to 2011 to demonstrate the growth of linked data on the web.
Data Collection and Integration, Linked Data ManagementRENDER project
This document describes a presentation on data collection, integration, and linked data management. It discusses web mining techniques for data extraction, strategies for data integration including conceptual models, and challenges of linked data management in enterprises. It also introduces the FactForge knowledge base, which provides integrated access to billions of facts across multiple datasets and enables complex queries over the semantic data.

Linked Data for the Enterprise: Opportunities and ChallengesMarin Dimitrov
1) Semantic technologies and linked data can help address challenges of integrating disparate data sources and providing unified access to enterprise information.
2) Case studies demonstrate successes in areas like semantic search, knowledge discovery, and dynamic publishing by linking and enriching content.
3) Adoption challenges include developing domain ontologies, query performance, data quality, and getting enterprise IT teams familiar with semantic technologies.
Walk Before You Run: Prerequisites to Linked DataKenning Arlitsch
Presentation on April 23, 2015 at the Amigos Library Services online conference: "Linked Data & RDF: New Frontiers in Metadata and Access"
Covers traditional SEO and Semantic Web Optimization, including Semantic Web Identity and a Schema.org project at Montana State University Library.
This document discusses different ways to find datasets on the web of data, including using linked data search engines, data catalogs and directories, and data marketplaces. It provides examples of specific tools for each type, such as Sindice, The Data Hub, and Freebase. The document also discusses considerations for which tool type is best suited for different use cases, like finding resources to link to a dataset or finding vocabularies.
This document discusses linked data and its relevance to libraries. It begins by explaining the basic concepts of linked data, including using URIs to identify things, describing relationships between resources using RDF triples, and linking data to related information on the web. It then discusses why libraries should care about linked data, particularly how it allows bibliographic data to be separated into individual pieces that can be recombined and linked to other data sources. The document concludes by providing examples of linked open data projects and resources for libraries interested in implementing linked data.
Similar to RDA and Linked Data: Moving Beyond the Rules. (20)
The document discusses metadata, including how it is used in cultural heritage organizations and the different types of metadata. It talks about how metadata is stored and shared using databases, XML, and RDF. The presentation notes that metadata standards are evolving due to linked data technologies, which are connecting metadata in larger graphs. As a result, metadata is becoming less separated between organizations and more open and intelligent systems are needed to handle the growing scale and connections in metadata. Cultural heritage organizations need to rethink their workflows and business models in light of these changes.

The project involves developing a data model and software framework to provide search and retrieval of diverse music formats. Usability research is also being conducted to improve the user experience.

1. RDA AND LINKED DATA:
MOVING BEYOND THE RULES

21st century information landscape
• Everything interconnected
• Build on others’ data
• Semantic Web
• Think of it as authority files on steroids
• It’s all very meta

Linked Data
• Use URIs as names for things
• Use HTTP URIs so that people can look up these names
• When someone looks up a URI, provide useful
information, using standards
• Include links to other URIs, so that they can discover
more things

RDA as data elements
• There’s another side to RDA, beyond the rules
• Grew out of a 2007 meeting between representatives
from the JSC and DCMI
• But it’s currently operating mostly independently
• Vision is that RDA data elements could be the basis for
machine interoperation of library data in a Linked Data
environment in the future

Woah. Really?!?
Nobody is meant to create
this data in this form
directly. Really.
Libraries encoding data in
this form opens up
enormous possibilities for us
to participate in the wider
information community.
Let’s explore that idea.

Other important features of the Semantic
Web/Linked Data environment
• The RDF graph model is the most important thing;
•
•
•
•
•
encoding triples in a specific syntax is secondary
The concept of a “record” isn’t really meaningful when
looking at the information world as a graph
Open world assumption
Many vocabularies, with connections between them
Expectation that implementations will deal with data from
multiple sources

Large Linked Data initiatives to watch
• Named graphs
• Provenance WG
• Also watch DC-Architecture

Infrastructure that we’ll need
• Ways to identify trusted data sources
• Ways to identify and understand properties and classes
defined by others
• Best practices for data caching
• Actual shared cataloging
• We’ll need to stop downloading records. I mean that.
• Better data creation, management, sharing, and exposure
systems
• Ones that actually work
• Library community best practices on where to scope our
data creation efforts

What the library community is doing
• Exposing authority (and more recently bibliographic) data,
and vocabularies as Linked Data
• W3C Linked Library Data Incubator Group
• Stanford Linked Data Technology Plan
• RDA as data elements in Open Metadata Registry
• Still dancing around official endorsement
• LC Bibliographic Framework Transition Initiative
• “The new bibliographic framework project will be focused on the
Web environment, Linked Data principles and mechanisms, and
the Resource Description Framework (RDF) as a basic data
model.” (From http://www.loc.gov/marc/transition/news/framework103111.html)

My burning question
What would it mean for
libraries to be LD consumers,
and not just publishers?
