  7. Dewey as linked data?

  8. Enabling BIBFRAME in WorldCat OCLC Research experimentation with the LC BIBFRAME converter • Results used for policy decisions Making use of • FAST, VIAF, and other URIs to • Preventing blank nodes • Ensuring interoperability • WorldCat cluster IDs for Works and Manifestations

  9. Persistent identifier survey Which persistent identifiers? Survey includes: • ORICD, DOI, PURL, ARK, Handles, VIAF, ISNI, FAST, Wikidata, MeSH, id.loc.gov Translated into multiple languages and distributed internationally

  10. Profiles for unique collections Archival description vs. bibliographic description • What are the needs of these communities? Assessment of descriptive needs to be reflected in linked data approaches A series of virtual conversations • Gather descriptive needs and wants • Apply approaches using participant examples • Discuss outcomes and share results

  11. Next steps with BIBFRAME Project and policy work Answering questions about… • Workflows • Use cases • Desired outcomes/services

  12. Learn more Our approach: • Build on the foundation of WorldCat • Collaborate and partner with community leaders • Make iterative progress rather than wait for perfection We will: • Create new capabilities for libraries to import, store, enrich, and publish linked data in a variety of formats, including BIBFRAME and Schema.org • Support libraries who wish to continue working in MARC oc.lc/linkeddatasummary
