IGeLU 2024

Conference

Over the years library management systems and MARC21 have evolved to accommodate new resource types. In recent years, data as a resource type has been gaining importance. With this, a new type of catalogue has also emerged, the data catalogue.  

As a data-driven organization, dedicated to evidence-based policymaking, the European Commission generates and acquires a substantial amount of data. At the European Commission Library, we have leveraged ALMA and PRIMO VE to provide Commission staff with a data catalogue that can be used to manage data and to make our internal data discoverable across the organisation.

To ensure interoperability between our library management system and other data portals we have worked on a mapping between MARC21 and the DCAT Application profile for data portals in Europe (DCAT-AP).

 

During this session, we would like to share with you some key aspects of this project.
