Action items from last meeting | Paloma | - August meeting has been rescheduled to the 30th - DONE
- Prepare demo of current Alma/Primo LD implementations (Melanie) - DONE
- Reach out to Xiaoli Li to invite her to the August (or July) meeting (Melanie)
- Melanie will reach out soon, following our discussion and talks with LSP folks at UTL, which will inform what she asks
- Laura Ackermann(?) - may also be a good option
- Confirm with Jackie Shieh about September meeting (Paloma)
- She cannot do it at the time of our meeting, she is very busy and active
- We should find someone else to talk about local identity management
- Smithsonian is presenting most likely at LD4 and SAA - may be good time to identify other option
|
ExLibris and LOD | Melanie | - Demo is not intended to be comprehensive
- Melanie has added to our Resources page:
- Links about Alma
Collection of sessions from ELUNA about linked data, with notes! Slides by Yoel Kortick IGELU/ELUNA CoP and working group: user community direct liaison to vendor - listserv, presentation recordings, slack,user story collection form
Linked Data functionality in Alma - Can use APIs to extract link data: see first slide deck from Yoel above
Publishing profile is other option - Melanie will walk through that today Places to see LD in Alma: Search results list | Go to ellipses, drop down, select Linked Data Will show different URIs: name authorities, subject terms, wikidata Dublin Core, Bibo (specific semantic properties for OCLC, ISBN), JSON LD (broken - requires integration profile to be defined) | BIBFRAME view from full record | BIBFRAME serialization | Metadata editor view | may be way to copy from the view to include in MARC record |
- Linked Data Advisory Group - working on recommendations for URIs in MARC
- conversation about what are use cases
- questions about whether manual or programmatic
- All views are dynamically generated on the fly, not permanently stored
- Not stored to do operational things with
- API may be a way to get at dynamically
- Publishing profile: one way to EXPORT linked data for a set of records to enrich and so something elsewhere
- Create a set of records to use publishing profile
- Publishing profile does require certain permissions
- We could create a set of titles then have Access Systems do publishing profile
- Melanie created a set
- Can publish on bibliographic level - output MARC21 bib, RDF, or BIBFRAME
- Paloma: is there a limit to number of records?
- Not that Melanie is aware if, but there may be thresholds in terms of running jobs, performance
- Janeice Connors might have a better sense of those thresholds
- Benn - knowledge base article indicates that there is no limit to a set
- Data enrichment - check Linked Data enrichment, adds URIs to datafield tags
- Paloma: would like to compare BIBFRAME generated with Sinopia
- There has to be a linked data integration profile setup to get JSON LD of BIBFRAME or RDF
Author card in Primo: hopefully coming in August - Based on custom author cards other institutions created
- Pulling in data dynamically based on linked data
- University of Wisconsin: Information from the Web - pulled in DB pedia and Wikidata (Gloria Steinem)
- Hong Kong University of Science and Technology: Knowledge cards at bottom of full record display
- If there is a Wikidata URI, will display author cards
- If there is not, will look for other authorities - LCNAF, VIAF?
- Alma Refine in Sandbox
- If you have a set of records, can use Alma Refine to go to reconciliation services, Wikidata included
- Melanie encourages thus group to explore AlmaRefine!
DISCUSSION: How do we want to further explore some of the existing Linked Data features in Alma? Paloma: wants to leverage work she has already done - Wikidata URIs identified through reconciliations Can she feed a list of MMS IDs, creator name, and URIs, asking that the URIs be added? Melanie has not seen how this can be done, but maybe with MARCedit - Paloma shared Knowledge card in Share-vde, which is BIBFRAME data converted from MARC https://pcc-lod.org/search?q=Jules+Verne
- Melanie: instinct is to check Ex-Libris IDEA exchange for user story and upvote or add a user story via collection form
- Voting on Alma and Primo enhancements - two separate enhancement processes - start mid-Spring to mid-Summer
- Generate good questions for potential speakers
What do we want? - Looking to Author cards - what if it doesn;t happen in August?
- SPARQL seems off the table
- What else should we explore - probably APIs
- If we use APIs to retrieve linked data - what can we do with the data?
- How do we worked with UTL on APIs?
APIs: UTL has been conservative so far, may not need to be so much in the future/going forward - Working on MARCedit integration which relies on API key - stay tuned
USE CASE: Paloma has worked on Wikibase instance (docker) for a collection - content to come! - Would be great to see if there is a way to connect catalog and Wikibase
- 5000 bibliographic records
- Creators on Wikibase instance
- Can you explore catalog on Wikibase
Melanie encouraging us to try API export/harvesting What are possibilities/ what is potential best return of investment Paloma dropped link to DRAFT Linked Data report: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16Rn8jK-PCtICxRQJE9VRt2sxN_SgZfS6oKacKkWmDfo/edit?pli=1#heading=h.cvmkv4eyab54 We could start filling it out based on presentation/discussion |
