La publicación en Linked Data de registros bibliográficos: modelo e implementación

Abstract

Las bibliotecas se encuentran muy vinculadas a Linked Data (LD) debido al alto nivel de estructuración de sus datos, aunque los proyectos relacionados con ello son elaborados principalmente por grandes bibliotecas. En el presente trabajo se ha determinado su estado de la cuestión, analizando algunos de los proyectos referentes, ciclos de vida y herramientas que intervienen durante el proceso, estableciendo tras ello una metodología y llevando acabo su implementación al completo, convirtiendo registros bibliográficos en Linked Data, enriqueciéndolos por medio de otros conjuntos de datos y poniéndolos al alcance de todo el mundo. De este modo, se ha realizado un estudio de caso usando para ello un conjunto de registros extraídos de la Biblioteca Universitaria de Granada con el fin de conocer, de primera mano, algunos de los problemas que se puede encontrar cualquier centro que desee convertir sus registros a Linked Data sin necesidad de tener que cambiar de sistema de automatización de bibliotecas.

Linked open data portals: functionalities and user experience in semantic catalogues

“…The vocabulary used in BIBFRAME is based on RDF classes and properties for exchanging data on the web. This framework extends the link structure of the web through the use of triplets or RDF sentences and declarations about web resources in the form of subject-predicate-object expressions, each identified through a URI (Kroeger, 2013;Senso and Arroyo Machado, 2018;Taniguchi, 2018;Willer and Dunsire, 2013;Xu et al, 2018).…”

“…Among the opportunities and advantages that the adoption of this model implies for the end user, the literature specifically details better experience, contextualisation of information, and a multilingual dimension or advances in rigor and interdisciplinarity in the research activity thanks to the enrichment of information (Cole et al, 2017;Feitosa et al, 2018;Hallo et al, 2016;Konstantinou et al, 2014;Library Linked Data Incubator Group, 2011;Mitchell, 2016;Simon et al, 2013). Among the advantages of linking data that appear in bibliographic records with other datasets, Senso and Arroyo Machado (2018) highlight the fact that linking data favours the development of mashups and facilitates the modelling of objects/entities of interest related to a bibliographic resource, such as people, places, events, and topics.…”

“…Altogether, the transition from experimental prototypes and initiatives to routine implementation will need to go hand in hand with the generation and presentation of linked data integrated into library management programs and discovery tools. For Senso and Arroyo Machado (2018), the abiding factor in most of these projects that appealed to them was the fact that they were developed by large institutions, in many cases with the help of a third party (company or university). Recently, OCLC announced that, thanks to funding from the Mellon Foundation, it is planning to develop infrastructure to support linked data management initiatives.…”
