ALCTS webinar: Library of Congress BIBFRAME Pilot Phase Two

Date: Wednesday, March 7, 2018

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.

This is the first session of a six-part series.  This webinar is free and complimentary. Registration for other sessions in this series is not necessary to participate. View the other sessions in this series.

This series of six webinars builds on the introductory series From MARC to BIBFRAME: Linked Data on the Ground, which was presented in fall 2016 and is now available free of charge. It describes the continuing BIBFRAME initiatives taking place at the Library of Congress as well as within the broader information community.  

 

Description: Library of Congress BIBFRAME Pilot Phase Two will focus on continuing BIBFRAME initiatives taking place at the Library of Congress. These will be put into perspective with other BIBFRAME, Linked Data, and Semantic Web initiatives taking place in the broader information community. Speakers, from the Library of Congress, will give an overview of continuing BIBFRAME work among the participants in BIBFRAME Pilot Phase 2. They will provide updates on LC and BIBFRAME 2.0 implementation, work on profiles in anticipation of a BIBFRAME Pilot Phase 2, and continuing LC BIBFRAME work with special formats (A/V, sound recordings, and prints and photographs). In addition, they will review LD4P (Linked Data for Production) initiatives and LC involvement with them, the Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) BIBFRAME Task Group, and RDA’s influence on BIBFRAME 2.

Learning outcomes: Following this webinar, participants will have an understanding of the continuing initiatives and advancements taking place at the Library of Congress to use BIBFRAME as a means to describe and share library resources.

Who should attend? Cataloging and metadata staff, administrators, technical services staff, technologists and systems developers
