Data models for bibliographic Linked Data Message-ID: *******PLEASE EXCUSE THE CROSS-POSTING******* *From MARC silos to Linked Data silos? Data models for bibliographic Linked Data* *DCMI/ASIS&T Joint Webinar* *===========================================================* *:: Presenter:* Osma Suominen *:: Time:* 10:00am - 11:15am EST (UTC 15:00 - World Clock: http://bit.ly/suominen-2017) *:: Date:* Tuesday, 28 February 2017 *:: Registration:* http://dublincore.org/resources/training/#2017suominen *===========================================================* *ABOUT THE WEBINAR:* Many libraries are experimenting with publishing their metadata as Linked Data to open up bibliographic silos, usually based on MARC records, to the Web. The libraries who have published Linked Data have all used different data models for structuring their bibliographic data. Some are using a FRBR-based model where Works, Expressions and Manifestations are represented separately. Others have chosen basic Dublin Core, dumbing down their data into a lowest common denominator format. The proliferation of data models limits the reusability of bibliographic data. In effect, libraries have moved from MARC silos to Linked Data silos of incompatible data models. There is currently no universal model for how to represent bibliographic metadata as Linked Data, even though many attempts for such a model have been made.

In this webinar, you?ll see: - a survey of published bibliographic Linked Data, the data models proposed for representing bibliographic data as RDF, and tools used for conversion from MARC records - an analysis of different use cases for bibliographic Linked Data and how they affect the data model - recommendations for choosing a data model We also present efforts at the National Library of Finland to open up our bibliographic metadata, including the national bibliography Fennica, the national discography Viola and the article database Arto, as Linked Data while trying to learn from the examples of others. We are setting up a conversion process from MARC records to BIBFRAME and Schema.org compliant RDF, which we are going to publish as Linked Data using various technologies including a SPARQL endpoint, HDT compressed RDF dumps and a Linked Data Fragments API. *This webinar is an extended, in-depth version of the SWIB16 conference presentation ?From MARC silos to Linked Data silos??* *Minimum Experience Level: * Basic familiarity of bibliographic metadata and Linked Data assumed *ABOUT THE PRESENTER:* *Osma Suominen* works as an information systems specialist at the National Library of Finland. His current activities are centered around the publishing of bibliographic data, including the Finnish national bibliography Fennica, as Linked Data. He is also one of the creators of the Finto.fi thesaurus and ontology service and is leading development of the Skosmos vocabulary browser used in Finto. Osma Suominen earned his doctoral degree at Aalto University while doing research on semantic portals and quality of controlled vocabularies within the FinnONTO series of projects. His past accomplishments include the Skosify vocabulary analysis and quality improvement tool, and data.aalto.fi, the Linked Data service of Aalto University. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: *==========Please excuse the cross-posting==========* *DC-2017 Call for Participation* *Advancing metadata practice: Quality, Openness, Interoperability* DCMI has published the *Call for Participation* for the DC-2017 *International Conference on Dublin Core and Metadata Applications* to be held in Washington, D.C., USA, October 26-29, 2017. The conference will be collocated with the ASIS&T Annual Meeting . Following up on DC-2016 in Copenhagen, with its look towards the changing role of metadata in the Second Machine Age, DC-2017 will focus on technologies and practices that are advancing how we can create and manage good metadata. Interoperability and openness have been guiding principles of the DCMI community for over twenty years, and these principles have evolved through the development of Semantic Web standards and Linked Open Data. A deluge of new data sources is magnifying the perennial challenge of metadata quality but also inspiring the development of innovative tools, practices, and solutions, the focus of this year's conference. *Submission categories include: * - Peer reviewed Papers, Project Reports and Posters; - Presentations on Metadata; (without paper); - Panels (Special Sessions); - Post-conference Tutorials; and - Post-Conference Workshops. Beyond the focus of the conference theme, submission of papers, project reports, presentations and posters are welcome in the following broad categories of metadata design, deployment and best practices: - Metadata principles, guidelines, and best practices - Curation, governance, and sustainability - Conceptual models and frameworks - Lessons from implementation - Interoperability and harmonization - Metadata quality and validation *Program Committee Chairs:* *Carol Jean Godby*, Senior Research Scientist, OCLC Research *Mike Lauruhn*, Disruptive Technology Director, Elsevier Labs For more information, visit the *Call for Participation* page at http://dcevents.dublincore.org/IntConf/dc-2017/schedConf/cfp on the DC-2017 website . -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I did add the documents to the mail but they were taken off the mail by Dgroups automatically when I sent them. They are on the KM4Dev-l page but were not sent directly to you with the e-mail. You can also find them here on a page on KM4Dev.org: http://www.km4dev.org/group/geneva-2017/forum/topics/registration-for-an-instructions-for-registration These represent the most recent version of the documents. The announcement on the wiki needs to be updated. As regards funding for participants, we have been looking at possibilities but have no joy as yet. If you - or anyone else on KM4Dev - can help us in this regard, please let us know.

I have very quick points to be answered please. 1- There is not any registration form attached with the email. i checked for its downloading but its showing some problem. 2- Is there any possibility of the scholarship to cover the logistic support for the presenter of this conference please? Thanks for your anticipation. Best Wasif On Wed, Feb 1, 2017 at 7:18 PM, Sarah Cummings > wrote: Hi Neil Thanks for your questions. There is no designated website but KM4Dev members - and others - can follow development on the wiki, following the address posted in the mail to which you are reacting. The venue can cater for 200 persons and registrations have just opened. Given that this is also an official UN conference, we expect many participants from the UN system. Indeed the conference is open to all, although you will need to register before the end of March, and participation is without charge (although participants will need to cover their own travel accommodation costs). In addition to the conference programme, participants will also have the opportunity to present their own experiences and projects in an open knowledge market. We are optimistic that everyone who wants to present their work will have the opportunity to do so. More to follow on this. Have I forgotten anything? I invite other members of the organising team to add their thoughts too.
