The BIBFRAME model is designed with a high degree of flexibility in that it can accommodate any number of existing models as well as models yet to be developed within the Web environment. The model’s flexibility is intended to foster extensibility. This study discusses the relationship of BIBFRAME to the prevailing content standards and models employed by cultural heritage institutions across museums, archives, libraries, historical societies, and community centers or those in the process of being adopted by cultural heritage institutions. This is to determine the degree to which BIBFRAME, as it is currently understood, can be a viable and extensible framework for bibliographic description and exchange in the Web environment. We highlight the areas of compatibility as well as areas of incompatibility. BIBFRAME holds the promise of freeing library data from the silos of online catalogs permitting library data to interact with data both within and outside the library community. We discuss some of the challenges that need to be addressed in order to optimize the potential capabilities that the BIBFRAME model holds.
Introduction: Preterm birth poses a significant challenge. This study evaluated a real-time scoring algorithm to identify and stratify pregnancies to indicate preterm birth. Methods: All claims data of pregnant women were reviewed between 1 January 2014 and 31 October 2018 in Kentucky. Results: A total of 29,166 unique women who were matched to a live newborn were documented, with the pregnancy identified during the first trimester in 54.1% of women. Negative predictive values, sensitivity, and positive likelihood ratios increased from the first to third trimesters as pregnant women who were matched to a live newborn had more visits with their physicians. The area under the receiving-operating characteristics curve on test data classifying preterm birth was 0.59 for pregnancies identified during the first trimester, 0.62 for pregnancies identified in the second trimester, and 0.73 for pregnancies identified in the third trimester. Conclusions: This study presents a real-time scoring algorithm of indicating preterm birth in the first trimester of gestation which permits stratification of pregnancies to provide more efficient early care management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
