Triples Subject - Predicate - Object Subject - Predicate - Object Subject - Predicate - Object • Thing - Relation - Thing • We create a totaly new kind of language. • It is for the whole web  planetary level. • This will allow new kinds of services. • We are in a hot research phase. is subject of http://data.beeldengeluid.nl/gtaa/62486 painted by is about http://viaf.org/viaf/64013650 http://permalink.opc.uva.nl/item/001665446 written by http://viaf.org/viaf/112119293/ http://permalink.opc.uva.nl/item/001665446 http://data.beeldengeluid.nl/gtaa/62486 author of painter of Linked data and Ex Libris products - IGeLU 2011

  6. Principles of linked data • Use URIs to identify things. • Use HTTP URIs so that these things can be referred to and looked up by people and user agents. • Provide useful information when its URI is looked up, using standard formats such as RDF/XML. • Include links to other, related URIs in the exposed data to improve discovery of other related information on the Web. These technical principles are very brought. How to implement them depends on the use case.  Ex Libris Ltd., 2011 - Internal and Confidential

  7. A Research Example: Europeana • Europeana.eu is an internet portal that acts as an interface to millions of books, paintings, films, museum objects and archival records • Distributed digitized and born digital sources • Fully using linked data techniques for metadata A virtual European library, to make Europe's cultural heritage accessible for all  Ex Libris Ltd., 2011 - Internal and Confidential

  9. Problems • Central Discovery Platform • MetaSearch vs. Central Index • Central Index • Huge number of tripples  performance • Harvesting from various sources • Variety of source formats (mostly none-RDF) • Versioning of tripples vs. flat source records • Governance of tripples vs. flat source records  Ex Libris Ltd., 2011 - Internal and Confidential

  10. New DM2E Project Digitised Manuscripts to Europeana • Started September 2011 • Major part is new digitzation techniques ... AND • Work Package 2: Interoperability Infrastructure(How to harvest various metadata into Europeana) Ex Libris is a partner in WP2.  Ex Libris Ltd., 2011 - Internal and Confidential

  11. Ex Libris contribution to DM2E • RDFizer • MARCXML  RDF • UNIMARC-XML  RDF • RDF2EDM • Both are based on existing mapping rules • Other partners develop editiors for mapping rules • Both tools will be published in El Commons  Ex Libris Ltd., 2011 - Internal and Confidential

Ex Libris and Linked Data • Questions to ask • Technology / License of data / Business Policy • Why should we do it? • Interoperability, especially with other domains • reshape shared metadata management • What should we do? • Publishing • Utilization of linked data sources • Modeling of future services  Ex Libris Ltd., 2011 - Internal and Confidential

  13. Alma and Linked Data • Apply RDFizer while publishing • E.g. publish to LinkedData.org • Keep global authority data incl. URI to source • E.g. LCSH / VIAF navigation • Enable URI lookup and reference to records in Community Catalog  Ex Libris Ltd., 2011 - Internal and Confidential

  14. Summary • Linked Data is in vivid research phase How to do it What to do with it • Ex Libris takes part in that research as a partner • e.g. DM2E-Project • Ex Libris prepares its products • e.g. Alma - URI access to Community Catalog  Ex Libris Ltd., 2011 - Internal and Confidential
