BIBFRAME !!

Core model for defining Web control points of bibliographic

data for more effective sharing, navigation and

collaboration !

Simple, replicable linked data patterns

Small is Beautiful • BIBFRAME common model -

flexible, designed to accommodate the needs of our community.

• Recognize creative tension between past and future

• Recognize creative tension of being useful across communities, but also community specific

• Profiles are a simple, small, subset to of the model to support a specific community or entity description but sharable in a global context

RBMS Profile• Metadata patterns than make sense to your

community

• Designed to accelerate collaboration and discovery

• Interoperable in a larger descriptive framework

• Allowing for experimentation

• Benefiting from not having to wait for it “to be done”

Page 33: Back to the Future: The Reinvention of the Library Catalog, Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow (Special Collections Rule!)

Value of Linking RBMS data

• Linking provides access to related content - richer context and new discoveries

• Materials can be enhanced by others in the field to add to the value of your content.

• Don’t need to know the relationships in advance grows organically

Phases of Linked Data / BIBFRAME Adoption

Experimenters Early Implementers

Data Publishers& Connectors

Mainstream Workflow

Back Office Systems

• Clarify Space • Determine the

Need • Define a

Foundation • Draft

Specifications

• Test the Assumptions • Draft Standards • Evaluate Data, Processes, & Gaps

• Begin to work at scale • Use other’s data • Participate – Publish, Share,

Connect

• “Final” Standards & Best Practices

• New businesses and models

• “There’s Linked Data in there!?”

Conclusions• BIBFRAME “MARC Replacement” but so much more

• Serving not just libraries but related memory organizations and the users / patrons they serve

• Recognizing the wide variability within libraries

• No more gaming!

• Leverage existing Web standards and speak with a consistent voice to support more effective visibility and discoverability of assets

• BIBFRAME is a bridge between the best of the Web and Libraries

• A mechanism for weaving the trust and credibility of Libraries into the Web.
