A Stated Initiative from ITS Multi-year Business Plan:
Experiment with metadata technologies, e.g. linked open data
Slide5
Institutional Affordances
(the ability to experiment with tools)
Conversion of MARC and non-MARC metadata to RDF
RDF editors for creation and editing of RDF (cataloging
)
Ontology Development (Reuse, Alignment, and Extensions
)
Techniques for discovering/sharing data (Enabling Copy Cataloging in LOD)
(collaboration with domains on implementation patterns)
Community
Ontology Development (Reuse, Alignment, and Extensions
)
Community conversations on discovering/sharing dataSlide6
Linked Data for Libraries-Cartographic Materials (LD4P-CM)
Purpose
“ ...explore best practices for creating native Linked Open Data descriptions for library cartographic resources including printed maps, atlases, digital geospatial datasets, and other cartographic information resources… ”
Slide7
Cartographic Project : Objectives
Use Cases
- Identify library cartographic/geospatial resources metadata: use cases, user stories, research needs
BIBFRAME Evaluation
- Evaluate the existing BIBFRAME model and vocabulary for suitability for describing cartographic/geospatial resources
Identify LOD Ontologies and Vocabularies
- Evaluate other available LOD ontologies and vocabularies for describing classes and properties of cartographic/geospatial resourcesSlide8
Cartographic Project : Objectives
BIBFRAME+ Cartographic Profile -
Develop and document a BIBFRAME+ profile for the bibliographic description of cartographic resources
Community Best Practices
-
Engage with cartographic resources community to develop BIBFRAME best practices for description of cartographic
resources
Metadata Creation Tools
-
Inform the development of metadata creation tools to ensure effectiveness for describing cartographic resourcesSlide9
Cartographic Project : Objectives
Collection of LOD Descriptions -
Catalog and convert a selection of cartographic and geospatial resource descriptions using the developed BIBFRAME+ profile (rare materials to born-digital, varying languages) and contribute descriptions to a shared project triple store
Recommendations
-
Evaluate results of project and share set of recommendations for further research and developmentSlide10

Cartographic Project : Status
Project Wiki: http://tiny.cc/ld4p-cm
Timeframe: April 2016 to March 2018
Working Group meets every 2 weeks
Group currently refining Use Cases and beginning to evaluate ontologies and vocabularies
Periodic updates will be available on the project wiki:

Slide12
Example cartographic use cases
might include:As a
Student studying land development of Austin, Texas, 1960 to the present, I would like to compare a map from each decade at a scale of
1:50,000 or larger
As the
Maps Librarian
responsible for curating exhibits, I would like to identify and select material from my library’s collection of maps that show natural features in New England
As a
Researcher
in the GeoHumanities, I would like to be able use spatial coordinates from my digital gazetteer to query the library catalog for maps and resources related to an areaSlide13
LD4L Labs / Harvard: Moving Images
Objectives for April 2016-March 2018
include:
Evaluation & extension of LOD ontologies
BIBFRAME+ moving image profile
Collection of LOD descriptions for Harvard Film Archive materials
Example moving image use cases
might include:
As a
film trafficker
,
I need to determine which prints of a given film are in loanable/screenable condition for an English-speaking audience.
As a
teacher
I would like to know what materials by women directors from a particular country are available to show in my class.Slide14
