Register at https://www.lyrasis.org/Pages/EventDetail.aspx?Eid=006471AA-BC9D-E511-AFEB-… Class description: Many institutions have begun to make their bibliographic data and vocabularies available as Linked Open Data, exposing the wealth of resources in libraries to the wider world of the Web. The Bibliographic Framework Initiative (BIBFRAME) is such a development, which is intended to be a replacement for MARC and to serve as a general model for expressing and connecting bibliographic data utilizing Linked Data principles. This workshop gives a brief overview of Linked Data and describes the BIBFRAME Linked Data model and how it compares to other efforts to model bibliographic data, such as FRBR. It also provides an overview of the BIBFRAME vocabulary, which is used to describe bibliographic resources as Linked Data compatible statements. It reviews the development of BIBFRAME to date, looking at tools, such as the MARC to BIBFRAME transformation tool and the BIBFRAME Editor and current experimentation.

Future of Libraries
by Tamsyn Bayliss 16 Feb '16

16 Feb '16

Forwarded on behalf of Ines Almeida <ines(a)lianza.org.nz> OPEN ACCESS - Dear Friends and Colleagues, The Future of Libraries has resulted in four workstreams - and a sector wide focus on Open Access is one of these. As we've begun to think about how to approach this we've realised that while library and information professionals believe that Open Access is a critical driver of innovation - many outside our sector still need to be convinced. Therefore phase one of this work will be to develop a clear economic argument for Open Access. We're looking for individuals who are interested in helping us build the case for Open Access. Key deliverables: 1) Literature review of work defining the benefits of Open Access 2) Case studies analysing the effects and impacts of the bolder "Open" initiatives - such as the Dutch exiting Elsevier. Have these had the positive effects "Open" champions were hoping for? 3) An analysis of the current situation - what does "Open" really cost? Who is bearing this? What are the barriers? What are the incentives? As you can see we have tentatively defined three overarching deliverables - and at this stage we need people who believe they can contribute strongly to analysing the current environment and building a strong economic argument for Open Access. We are hoping that this initial phase of work will be completed by August 2016. If you're interested in assisting then please apply in writing with a brief summary of your interests, your experience, and outlining why you would like to contribute to Joanna Matthew (joanna(a)lianza.org.nz<mailto:joanna@lianza.org.nz>) by 9am February 26th.

Reminder CatSIG lunchtime session on Bibframe with Kevin Ford live stream
by Joanne Rowan 15 Feb '16

15 Feb '16

If you can't make the session in Wellington, remember you can view a live stream of the event at your computer from the link below. The link will be put on the CatSIG section of the LIANZA website after the event, so you can view the session at a later date, if you are unable to make today's session. There is no need to register, but we would be interested in your feedback on the live stream if you do attend. http://webcast.gigtv.com.au/Mediasite/Catalog/catalogs/lianza-catsig CatSIG in conjunction with the National Library of New Zealand is pleased to offer the following session. Kevin Ford will be in Wellington on Monday 15th February after his presentation at VALA, to present a similar session at the National Library of New Zealand from 12-2pm. For those people who cannot attend the session in person, CatSIG will also be running a live stream of the session. It will be also be available for people to listen to later if they are unable to attend. Kevin Ford is a Senior Consultant at AVPreserve, which is a data management consulting and software development firm that helps cultural heritage organizations, higher-education institutions, and businesses leverage technology, information, and people to advance the ways in which data will work for them. Prior to joining AVP, Kevin was a NoSQL semantics specialist at MarkLogic and, before that, Kevin was at the Library of Congress where he worked in the Network Development and MARC Standards Office. He was key member of the LC group shepherding the Library's Bibliographic Framework Initiative, which will ultimately replace the MARC Communication Formats with a semantic model. Kevin was also the project manager for the Library of Congress's Linked Data service, http://id.loc.gov. Below is an abstract for Kevin's presentation at VALA There's An Ambiguous Road Sign that Reads 'bibframe' and a Fork in the Road. Do You Take It? The Bibframe ontology contains minimally 3 forks, independent projects begun with a copy of an existing project and no assumption that changes in the new fork can be merged with its root. What produced this fragmentation? Are differences reconcilable? If so, by what means? If not, what are the alternatives? Is Bibframe's stricture to produce a single RDF model causing more problems than it solves? This talk will explore these questions, discussing how this fragmented reality emerged when the primary - if not singular - objective is to create a data model and format the library community could embrace with the same fidelity MARC has enjoyed for nearly 50 years. There will be time for questions and answers at the end of the session. If you are listening to the live stream can you please forward any questions you want to ask beforehand. To register please go here<https://lianza.memnet.com.au/MemberSelfService/EventBooking.aspx?selectedEv…> There is no charge for this session but you need to register.
