A first foray into Linked Data: practical aspects of working with BIBFRAME from the viewpoint of two UK academic libraries
Event part
Conference
Abstract
Metadata staff at Newcastle University and the University of Leeds joined the Ex Libris Linked Open Data Focus Group in September 2023 in order to trial the Sinopia editor for creating BIBFRAME records and bringing them into the Alma and Primo Sandbox environment. The group's work is helping Ex Libris to develop and refine Alma workflows compatible with BIBFRAME for future release in Production. The group also offers input to Ex Libris’ long-term plan of developing their own Linked Data editor within Alma. This presentation will provide a glimpse into both institutions' experiences navigating their first foray into the Linked Data world, including the challenges of working with two very different sets of materials (e-books at Newcastle and special collections print monographs at Leeds) and limited prior knowledge of BIBFRAME, but also the opportunities for collaborative learning and improved discoverability of collections.
