What is Bibframe?• Bibframe is a linked data model for bibliographic data• Requirements and Goals: • Inherent the robust nature of the MARC standard • Be content model agnostic - RDA, DACS, CCO, etc. • Handle description and management of traditional (books, serials, etc.) and non-traditional materials (born digital, data sets) • Integrate supporting data (Authority, Holdings, Classification) • Benefits from all the goodness the Web offers (web triggers, collaboration, data driven, etc.) 25

Initial Phase• Completed Landscape Assessment• Initial draft of Linked Data model Bibliographic Framework as a Web of Data: Linked Data Model and Supporting Services• Prototype of translation services and Interfaces • https://github.com/lcnetdev/marc2bibframe• Vocabulary mappings to MARC and RDA• Project roadmap and deployment strategic report• Convened Early Experimenters to help refine this work 64

66.
Early Experimenters• British Library• Deutsche Nationalbibliothek• George Washington University• National Library of Medicine• OCLC• Princeton University• Library of Congress 65

67.
Early Experimenters Process• Face to Face meeting in October at the Library of Congress to introduce the proposed BIBRAME model and preview their data in the model• Experimentation for a month at their institutions• Second Face to Face meeting in December to share findings, comments and questions• Iterative refinement of model, vocabulary and services based on real world data and experimentation 66

68.
Next phase• Extended Experimentation with more institutions and data types• Create more detailed documentation• Complete Vocabulary Mapping to address all MARC and RDA fields• Serialization and Protocols• Create Use Cases for further validation• Named Profiles / constraints• Prototype lightweight, open source cataloging interfaces• Generate information central for all things BIBFRAME 67

Next Steps for you• Continue to learn about Linked Data (inside and outside of Library community)• Join the discussion • bibframe@listserv.loc.gov• Keep a watch out for updates to documentation, examples, vocabulary, services, prototypes, etc. • http://www.loc.gov/marc/transition/• Start to engage vendors • “what is your Linked Data strategy”? 69
