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.
Mending the Gap between Library's Electronic and Print Collections in ILS and...New York University
This presentation proposed a conceptual model to model user's info seeking behavior in the context of their experience and use the model to improve library's collections and services using St. John's University Libraries for case study. It reviewed Web content technologies offered by IT vendors, and compared what offered in content technologies by Library IT vendors. To fill in the gap, It developed the preliminary proposal for 1) required data architecture in SOA framework, 2) desired features for managing library print and electronic content on library's website, 3) adoption of Semantic Web standards and technologies for managing library resources, and 4) the case study scenario with sample conceptual model.
Professional catalogers in an academic library have professional responsibilities in librarianship, scholarship, and services to the library, institute, and professional organizations. However, whatever the catalogers do have to be in alignment with strategic directions of the academic library, and contribute to its institutional effectiveness. This presentation uses several projects from Georgia Tech Library as examples to illuminate the subject matter on the role cataloger in the 21st century academic library. It first discusses the role of cataloger in assisting the removal of print collections out of GT Library building and creating a seamless collection with Emory resources in EmTech Library Services Center (LSC). It then discusses the role of cataloger in cataloging and metadata management from the perspectives of resource discovery, data curation, repository services, eResearch archive, and digitization.

Web scale Discovery services are becoming the most sought after solution for Libraries to connect its patrons with the relevant information they seek. Many studies show that these services are getting wide acceptance from users as well as Library staff and making revolution in Library Information retrieval arena. Given such broad implications, selecting a new discovery service for libraries is an important undertaking. Library professionals should carefully evaluate options to meet their goal of finding the best potential match for their library. This Paper attempts to provide a comprehensive overview of Library Web Scale Discovery solutions by depicting various facets of Web Scale Discovery, how it differs from federated searching and highlights the important parameters to be considered for taking an informed and confident decision on selecting discovery service.

#iassist40 presentation, Toronto, 6/6/2014.
Abstract:
Edinburgh DataShare, an institutional data repository, is six years old. It was built as a demonstrator in DSpace by EDINA and Data Library and has been given new life by the University of Edinburgh’s Research Data Management initiative. Following testing by pilot users in various departments last year, DataShare is confirmed as a key RDM service. Since 2008 much external infrastructure has grown around data sharing, and software developers, publishers and librarians are creating new innovations around the sharing and re-use of data daily. How can DataShare be shaped to fit in to this ever-more-sophisticated environment? A number of ongoing developments are helping us integrate the repository in the global context. DataShare is being indexed in Thomson-Reuter’s Data Citation Index. We aspire to attain the Data Seal of Approval for DataShare, a badge that confers trustworthiness through peer review. It is listed in re3data.org and databib registries of data repositories. We offer via extension, peer review of datasets to our depositors by listing journals that publish ‘data papers’ such as F1000 Research. Locally, as Information Services builds new data services such as the Data Store, [private data] Vault and the [metadata-only] Register, we can focus DataShare on its named purpose.
Cloud web scale discovery services landscape an overviewNikesh Narayanan
Abstract
The impact of Internet and Google like search engines radically influenced the information behavior of Net Generation users. They expect same environment in library services such that all their required information make available in a single set of results through unified search across all the available resources. Libraries have been striving to respond to this challenge for years. Until recently, federated search technology of the past decade was the better attempt in this area to meet these user expectations. But federated search solution is marked by the drawbacks of its slowness as it searches each database on the fly. New Generation cloud based Library Web scale discovery technology is a promising entrant in this landscape. This Paper attempts to provide a comprehensive overview of Library Web Scale Discovery solutions by depicting various facets of Web Scale Discovery solutions such as its importance to Library field, their possible role as the starting point for research, content coverage, and finally analyses the competition at the discovery front by comparing the services of major players. The comparative analysis shows that all the major service providers are extending competitive features and services, but varies in some areas and the adoption choice depends on the concerned library’s preferences and the cost involved.

The value of data curation as part of the publishing processVarsha Khodiyar
Presentation given at Biocuration 2019 Session 5 (Interacting with the Research Community)
Abstract:Journals and publishers have an important role to play in the drive to increase the reproducibility of published science. Since its launch in 2014, the Nature Research journal Scientific Data has established a reputation for publishing data papers (‘Data Descriptors’) that are highly reusable, as evidenced by a strong citation record. One of the ways in which Scientific Data ensures maximum reusability of published data is via the in-house data curation workflow applied to every Data Descriptor. In 2017, Springer Nature launched its Research Data Support (RDS) service to provide data curation expertise to researchers publishing at other Springer Nature journals.
During curation at Scientific Data and RDS, our data editors familiarise themselves with the related manuscript and perform a thorough check of each data archive. This ensures the descriptions in the manuscript match the metadata and data at the data repositories. The curation process facilitates the identification of any discrepancies between the manuscript text and the information held at the data repository.
Over the last year, the curation team have been recording the types of discrepancies rectified as a direct result of our curation process. At Scientific Data approximately 10% of the discrepancies the team find are significant enough to potentially have warranted a formal correction had the issue had not been resolved prior to publication.
In this presentation we give an overview of our observed outcomes from embedding data curation within the publishing process. We describe of how we are monitoring the value of our curation work, and show examples of the types of discrepancy most commonly identified through curation at Scientific Data and RDS.

A 10 minute presentation on how we can make repositories FAIR, primarily through storing their metadata on FAIRsharing.org. Presented at the FAIRsFAIR FAIR Semantics & FAIR Repositories pre-RDA P14 meeting in Helsinki, Finland on the 22nd October 2019. FAIRsharing can be used to edit and store metadata on repositories from across the natural sciences, engineering sciences, social sciences and humanities. This metadata is marked-up in schema.org and bioschemas (where relevant) and is given a citable DOI. This metadata can be used to power DMP tools and wizards and can also be used to perform FAIR assessments, such as through the FAIR evaluator or FAIRshake.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Editor's Notes
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. The authors represent international leaders in the library linked data field: Thomas Baker , Dublin Core Metadata Initiative, US (W3C Invited Expert) Emmanuelle Bermès , Centre Pompidou, France (W3C Invited Expert) Karen Coyle , Consultant, US (W3C Invited Expert) Gordon Dunsire , Consultant, UK (W3C Invited Expert) Antoine Isaac , Europeana and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Netherlands Peter Murray , LYRASIS, US (W3C Invited Expert) Michael Panzer , OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc., US Jodi Schneider , DERI Galway at the National University of Ireland, Galway, Ireland Ross Singer , Talis Group Ltd, UK Ed Summers , Library of Congress, US William Waites , University of Edinburgh (School of Informatics), UK Jeff Young , OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc., US Marcia Zeng , Kent State University, US (W3C Invited Expert) There are two supplementary reports that provide additional detail. The first is the &quot; Use Cases &quot; 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 &quot; Datasets, Value Vocabularies, and Metadata Element Sets &quot; 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://www.w3.org/2001/sw/wiki/LLD> and there is discussion list public-lld <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-lld/>, which are both open to interested members of the public.
Datasets are data that reflect specific collections, e.g. British National Bibliography, Open Library, other national libraries, etc. Element sets include things like the DCMI Metadata Elements; the RDA vocabulary elements; SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System); FOAF. Value vocabularies are things like LCSH, VIAF (Virtual International Authority File); DDC; etc.
[Taken from 2.3 of the report and brought to an earlier position in this presentation]
The addition of structured data to the web should improve capabilities for resource discovery across both library and non-library resources (e.g. Wikipedia, news agencies like BBC or the New York Times, databases like MusicBrainz, etc.). It will provide users with a “richer set of pathways for browsing.”
Search engines will make good use of URIs which will make library data more visible on the web. Citation can become automated integrating library data into research documents and bibliographies. Interdisciplinary research will improve as traditional barriers between subject domains are reduced and links made across multiple domains. Providing links between research results and the data used to create the reports will make it easier to replicate the work done or reuse the datasets in different research models or for different purposes. This could make assessment of research and validation by peers easier.
Linked data is a bottom-up approach to publishing data that through aggregation of portions of descriptions can create aggregated descriptions with a much higher level of granularity then currently possible. The current top-down approach, creating complete descriptions in bibliographic records is labour intensive and likely unsustainable. Libraries have difficulty keeping up with their current workloads and are unable to achieve an increased level of granularity of descriptions. Today's library technology is specific to library data formats and is provided by an Integrated Library System industry specific to libraries. If libraries adopt linked data technology it could give libraries a wider choice of vendors, and through the use of standard linked data formats allow libraries to recruit from and interact with a larger pool of developers. Linked data could provide the first step toward a “cloud-based”/collaborative approach to managing cultural information which could be more cost-effective than stand-alone systems in institutions. This approach could also make it possible for small institutions or individual projects to make themselves more visible and connected while reducing infrastructure costs

The main problem with library data is that it lives in databases that are not integrated with other data available on the Web. Theses catalogues have a web-based component but the data is independent. This problem is attributable in part because the standards used in the library community were developed specifically by and for the library community, e.g. MARC and Z39.50. By using linked data standards this will broaden the usability of library standards with other data communities. Library data is display oriented and meant for the most part to be consumed by the human reader. Even numeric values such as the ISBN is presented in a text field. The data is also managed locally and not globally. So for example a change in the OCLC database is not reflected in the databases of the contributing libraries. If URIs were used then the changes would be reflected in all places when changed in the central repository. Each community has its own vocabulary, and these reflect differences in their points of view, e.g. complete records vs. metadata statements.
One area that tends to hold the library community back.
One of the strengths of the library profession is the general willingness to share bibliographic records. Libraries will look for copies of already completed cataloguing, copy the record and modify it for their local use. When it comes to rights and ownership this can become a major weakness because it can be difficult to identify who owns the record. This is complicated by the fact that these records are often also uploaded to large bibliographic databases like OCLC who also want to lay claim to the content of these records. This lack of certainty can hinder data sharing in an open way. As noted in the Report: “Assigning ...”
On the other side of this coin there are libraries that have been working in isolation and consider their records as business assets. Something that they could sell to other libraries, for example. There is therefore a reluctance to openly share the data they have created. Some may be willing to share records that don't contain all metadata so-called “dumbed down” records or records that are brief, truncated, or otherwise incomplete.
Value vocabularies include: Classification systems; Subject headings/subject authority files; Name authority data; Thesauri; Other controlled vocabularies, e.g. DCMI Type Vocabulary.
