PCC and Linked Data for Production: Pathway to Implementation (LD4P2)

1. PCC and Linked Data for Production: Pathway to Implementation (LD4P2) PCC Joint Operations Committee Meeting May 2, 2019 Jennifer Baxmeyer

3. (With sincere thanks to Philip Schreur for letting me repurpose and reuse some material from his ALA Midwinter 2019 BIBFRAME Update presentation….)

4. Linked Data for Production Phase 2 • Mellon-funded continuation of prior work (2016-2018) • Linked Data for Production Phase 1 (LD4P) • Linked Data for Libraries Labs (LD4L) • LD4P2: Pathway to Implementation (2018-2020) • To build a pathway for the cataloging community to begin shifting to linked data to describe library resources

5. LD4P2 Partners and the PCC Cohort • Cornell University • Harvard University • Stanford University • University of Iowa School of Library and Information Science • Duke University • Frick Art Reference Library • Harry Ransom Center, UT Austin • National Library of Medicine • Northwestern University • University of Pennsylvania • Princeton University • UC Davis • UC San Diego • University of Alberta • University of Chicago • University of Colorado Boulder • University of Michigan • University of Minnesota • University of Washington • Yale University

6. LD4P2 Partners/PCC Cohort meeting: 15-16 October 2018

7. LD4P2: Seven goals • the creation of a continuously fed pool of linked data expressed in BIBFRAME from a core group of academic libraries • development of a cloud-based sandbox editing environment in support of an expanded cohort of libraries to create and reuse linked data • the development of policies, techniques and workflows for the automated enhancement of MARC data with identifiers to make its conversion to linked data as clean as possible • the development of policies, techniques, and workflows for the creation and reuse of linked data and its supporting identifiers as libraries’ core metadata • better integration of library metadata and identifiers with the Web through collaboration with Wikidata • the enhancement of a widely-adopted library discovery environment (Blacklight) with linked-data based discovery techniques • the orchestration of continued community collaboration through the development of an organizational framework called LD4, ensuring continued exchange of ideas and techniques across a distributed developing community.

8. 2018-2020

9. PCC and LD4P2: Advancing PCC strategic directions • SD3: Apply understanding of linked data • SD4: Accelerate the movement toward ubiquitous identifier creation and identity management at the network level • SD5: Expand use of linked data value vocabularies to augment, and where feasible to replace, existing metadata practices

10. LD4P2: Six work packages WP1. Cloud-based environment for original metadata creation WP2. Metadata reuse WP3. Linkage to external authorities and web context data WP4. Discovery WP5. Production workflows for native linked data descriptions WP6. Community collaboration

11. LD4P2 WP1: Cloud-based environment for original metadata creation - Sinopia https://www.opapisa.it/en/square-of-miracles/sinopie-museum/

13. LD4P2 WP2: Metadata reuse - SHARE-VDE

14. LD4P2 and SHARE-VDE SHARE-VDE Transformation Council Working groups: • Work identification • Authority/identifier management services • Cluster knowledge base interaction/editor • User experience/user interface

15. LD4P2 WP3:Linkage to external authorities and web context data Wikimedian-in-Residence

16. LD4P2 WP4:Discovery

17. LD4P2 WP5:Production workflows for native linked data descriptions • Harvard - films, maps, music • Cornell - music recordings (45-rpm vinyl records)

18. LD4P2 WP6:Community collaboration 2019 LD4 Conference on Linked Data in Libraries • Harvard Medical School, Boston, 10-11 May 2019 • ~120 participants (US, Canada, UK, Bangladesh, Benin, Ireland, Italy, Nigeria, Qatar, Togo) • ~60 lightning talks and presentations (discovery, modeling, Wikidata, special formats, digital collections, managing local data, authorities, application profiles, community adoption, tools and training, projects and development)

19. LD4P2: Working and affinity groups • Profiles Working Group • Discovery Affinity Group • Rare Materials Affinity Group • Wikidata Affinity Group • Non-Latin Script Materials Affinity Group

20. LC Training for LD4P2 PCC Cohort The Library of Congress has completed five training modules based on the LC BIBFRAME Editor: • History of BIBFRAME: A conversation between Judith Cannan and Sally McCallum. • LC BIBFRAME Profile Editor: Overview and Orientation • LC BIBFRAME Profile Editor: Where to Begin? • LC BIBFRAME Profile Editor: Live Webinar with PCC Cohort Members • LC BIBFRAME Editor: Describing Resources: Demonstration

21. Upcoming Training for LD4P2 PCC Cohort • Linked data • Sinopia-specific training (by Stanford) • Creating and managing profiles with the Sinopia Profile Editor • SHARE-VDE

22. More PCC/LD4P2 • PCC, LD4P2, and ISNI • PCC Task Group on Linked Data Best Practices • PCC Task Group on Metadata Application Profiles • PCC Sinopia User Group mailing list (for cohort catalogers working in Sinopia to share tipes, post questions, offer answers, etc.)

23. Looking ahead... • LD4P2 partner and cohort in-person meeting after ALA Annual in June 2019 • 2020 LD4 Conference

24. Recap: Why PCC and LD4P2? Mission: • The PCC promotes the discovery and use of the world's knowledge by ... forging alliances with partners who share common goals. Values: Collaboration, Sharing, Innovation, Empowerment
