NCompass Live - January 2, 2014.

The Bibliographic Framework Initiative, or BIBFRAME, is intended to provide a replacement to the MARC format as an encoding standard for library catalogs. Its aim is to move library data into a Linked Data format, allowing it to interact with other data on the Web. In this session, Emily Nimsakont, the NLC’s Cataloging Librarian, will cover the basics of BIBFRAME, describe what it can provide for users of library catalogs that MARC can’t, and outline what librarians should be aware of regarding this change in the cataloging landscape.

3. “The Bibliographic Framework Initiative (BIBFRAME) is an
undertaking by the Library of Congress and the
community to better accommodate future needs of the
library community. A major focus of the initiative will be
to determine a transition path for the MARC 21 exchange
format to more Web based, Linked Data standards.
Zepheira and The Library of Congress are working
together to develop a Linked Data model, vocabulary and
enabling tools / services for supporting this Initiative.”

16. Wikipedia says…
“Linked Data describes a method of publishing
structured data, so that it can be interlinked and
become more useful. It builds upon standard
web technologies, such as HTTP and URIs - but
rather than using them to serve web pages for
human readers, it extends them to share
information in a way that can be read
automatically by computers.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linked_Data
34. “RDA is an important source of elements in the
vocabulary for BIBFRAME, even though it
generally aims to be independent of any
particular set of cataloging rules.”
http://www.loc.gov/bibframe/faqs/
37. “The change in rules for metadata
creation, represented by RDA, will also help
library metadata to be more useful, though
perhaps to a lesser extent than BIBFRAME.”

47. Timeline?
“The MARC standard is responsible for the
creation of millions of bibliographic records from
all parts of the globe. We recognize the need to
continue supporting MARC during the
transition, and, most likely, for years to come as
libraries determine their timetable for making a
change.”

change?

49. “I believe we will
certainly need to
change most of our
cataloging
habits, standards, an
d tools…but that
losing the quality and
granularity of the
data itself should not
be a requirement.”
