In collaboration with

BIBFRAME Workshop in Europe 2023


The aim of the BIBFRAME Workshop in Europe is to be a forum for sharing knowledge about the practice of, production with, and planning of BIBFRAME implementation.
We bring together people working in the transition from MARC to Linked Data using the BIBFRAME model and related tools.
The workshop areas are strongly focused on the practical implementation of BIBFRAME, not a theoretical Linked Data / Semantic Web event.

Call for Presentations


The Call for Presentations is now open.

The Bibliographic Framework Initiative (BIBFRAME) is a transformative development for the library and information science community. BIBFRAME provides a linked data model for bibliographic description and organization, replacing the traditional MARC format with a flexible and extensible system. This new model allows for enhanced interoperability and access to library resources across various platforms, as well as enabling new opportunities for data integration and discovery.

This conference aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders from the library and information science community to discuss and explore the implications and potential of BIBFRAME. We welcome submissions of original research, case studies, and practical applications related to BIBFRAME and its impact on library services, data management, and user experience.

We welcome presentations on a wide spectrum of different viewpoints to BIBFRAME. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 • Experiences: Data creation and hybrid workflows (MARC 21 and BIBFRAME)
 • Implementation: Strategies and challenges
 • Interoperability: Data conversion and migration; ILS integrations
 • Standards: Interplay of BIBFRAME with other standards, such as cataloging guidelines (RDA), provenance data; BIBFRAME as an open standard
 • Technology: BIBFRAME tools and technologies
 • User-centered design and user experience
 • BIBFRAME and digital scholarship, specialized domains
 • BIBFRAME and entity management


We look forward to a vibrant and informative conference that will advance our understanding and application of BIBFRAME, and its potential to transform the library and information science profession.

We are currently working to create a productive and engaging programme and expect a draft to be presented by the end of June. All news and developments will be shared on this page as soon as they are made available.

Proposals for contributions are still welcome; if you wish to submit a proposal, please use the submission form.
