Subject: [BIBFRAME] BIBframe class in September
LYRASIS is offering an online class on BIBFRAME on September 21st 2:00 – 4:00pm EST. Register for this and other classes on metadata, digitization, and preservation at
https://www.lyrasis.org/Pages/events.aspx
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.
Learning outcomes:
-Understand the BIBFRAME Data Model and how entities used in bibliographic descriptions are related.
-Review the BIBFRAME vocabulary, which enables the statements that are made about bibliographic resources.
-Explore how MARC data elements are transformed to BIBFRAME classes and properties
-Look at tools that are available for experimenting with BIBFRAME.
-Review current projects that are experimenting with BIBFRAME.
