“…* The adoption of LOD maximizes metadata value, facilitates the connection of content silos with other organizations and datasets, provide a smart search context, and enable the use of synonyms and locations to enhance the discoverability and impact of culture heritage. 5,6 In addition, LOD enables the integration of the rich collections from the cultural heritage institutions into the semantic web which has become the norm for search engines in order to produce highly relevant search results. 7 Unfortunately, the publication of bibliographic information as open data often requires intensive preprocessing, since metadata are primarily expressed in natural language.…”

Cultural heritage institutions have recently started to share their metadata as Linked Open Data (LOD) in order to disseminate and enrich them. The publication of large bibliographic data sets as LOD is a challenge that requires the design and implementation of custom methods for the transformation, management, querying and enrichment of the data. In this report, the methodology defined by previous research for the evaluation of the quality of LOD is analysed and adapted to the specific case of Resource Description Framework (RDF) triples containing standard bibliographic information. The specified quality measures are reported in the case of four highly relevant libraries.

“…The second key future direction would be the mining of complex networks generated by bibliography data set, social media connections or LOD ( Jett et al, 2017). Recent statistics reveal that bibliometric big data consist of over 20,000 journals along with over 0.9bn citations and 35m publications in Scopus.…”

“…They also predicted the replacement for MARC with good library metadata. Jett et al (2017) described the importance of legacy metadata for digital collections. Transforming legacy metadata into formats that are Linked Open Data (LOD) friendly, maximizes metadata value and better integrates digital library collections into the emerging Semantic Web.…”

“…It is evident from the findings in Table 3 that the majority of information professionals considered their lack of awareness to the basic concepts of Linked Data a major barrier to implement it in libraries. Jett et al (2017) highlight the benefits and challenges of linked data, and thoughts on how the library community can contribute to the linked data effort.…”

This study aims to explore librarians' perspective about the adoption of Linked Data technologies along with their level of interest to adopt these technologies in Pakistani university libraries. It also identifies their perceived hindrances that obstruct them to adopt and effectively implement Linked Data technologies in libraries. This is a quantitative study based on survey research design. To meet the objective of the study, a self-constructed and validated questionnaire was used to collect data. Findings show that university librarians believe in the effective adoption of Linked Data technology in libraries. They perceive that Linked Data technology can enhance navigation between the traditional online tools to access library resources and Linked Data will soon be the standard for creating metadata and records for information resources management in libraries. They are eager to attend events about Linked Data application in their libraries and willing to explore ways to incorporate Linked Data standards in bibliographic records management as well. Barriers do exist such as the general lack of awareness of basic Linked Data concepts and best practices for this emerging technology. To foster the research and to set Linked Data best practices in libraries and other cultural heritage institutions, there is a potential to invest in this area in terms of financial and social capital.
