BIBFRAME: cataloguing for linked data
The BIBFRAME data model was designed to replace MARC standards. It uses a linked data model to make bibliographic data more useful both within the library community and across the world wide web.BIBFRAME organises elements of bibliographical information in order to identify relationships between resources. This allows search engines to differentiate between a conceptual Work (such as Dante's Divine Comedy) and physical manifestations of the same Work, which may vary in aspects such as year of publication, illustrations, translation and format.
By linking and disambiguating information in this way, BIBFRAME allows patrons to navigate seamlessly among resource descriptions and to discover resources serendipitously within the library's catalogue.
Linking bibliographic data and resources from a network of libraries increases the dissemination and discoverability of research knowledge and allows patrons to search in the data of a range of libraries at once.
Share - Linked Data Environment...
- supports libraries, archives and museums in the transition from traditional cataloguing environments to innovative models based on linked data
- harnesses the potential of linked data to connect and present library information in dynamic formats
- enhances the visibility of all library resources, including those that may previously have remained undetected in a traditional catalogue
Thanks to innovative technology, the Share - Linked Data Environment can:
- convert your library catalogues from MARC to linked data
- enrich your original MARC data and records converted into linked data
- reconcile and clusterize entities created through the conversion of library data
- guarantee the quality and authority of the data
- deliver converted and enriched data for reuse in your systems
- publish library records in linked data on an advanced discovery platform
