2023-2025 Alma LOD Roadmap: CalState LDTF annotations
What? (from ExLibris site) | When? | Key CSU Committee(s) | Research needed | Decision points envisioned | Other notes |
New search indexes for URI cataloged in $$1 | 2023 H2 | NZ Management (for the data) Resource Management Discovery
| -Does addition of $$1 or $$0 to a WorldCat record trigger WCM-to-Alma automatic overlay? -Would changing the WCM profile for the automatic record update feature, at the CSU-wide level be adequate? Or, should all 23 campuses also be encouraged or required to check the “Export URIs” box in all WCM accounts controlling NZ-bound bibliographic MARC data? -In order to be ready for anticipated 2025 “Knowledge Graph Integration” how robust will our Local Catalog need to be in terms of URI richness? |
| First, the CSU will need to get $$1 data into Alma Then, search indexes and other Discovery applications could be pursued |
ORCID in Alma Refine | 2023 H2 | Digital Repositories NZ Management Resource Management | -Test when implemented -Investigate use cases (Scholarworks, Other content streams for which this is essential?) |
| Implemented, but not yet working; fix coming March 2024 |
Configuring URI generation for partially-linked authorities | 2023 H2 | NZ Management Resource Management | -Does NZ Management need to look into this? It has fallen off the Roadmap -Find documentation from the 2023 implementation |

Cataloging via Sinopia | 2024 H2 | Resource Management | -How will Ex Libris host and manage accounts?
