Linked Data Task Force

Nerissa
Michael

• Going for a couple of years

  • see task force for background

  • especially Alma LOD roadmap

  • has liaison to STIM

• STIM has been asking for ideas, recommendations

• Task Force sees need for learning about linked data for:

  • MARC-focused data (in Alma, etc.)

  • Digital repositories metadata

• A year from now will need to make decisions on move to BIBFRAME and how to use Sinopia

  • a bigger impact than the move (or not) to RDA

  • will require serious training

  • all campuses to make the change simultaneously?

  • maybe a dedicated position ($$)?

  • impact on our management & discovery systems ($$$)?

• Write two ‘white papers’:

  • Two reports:

    • Cataloging & BIBFRAME (reporting to Resource Mgmt.?)

    • Digital repositories (reporting to DRC?)

  • how many people needed to join the effort?

  • Steering Committee will digest and discuss later over email or at next committee meeting.

Resource Management (Nerissa Lindsey)

Cataloging contacts page update is complete. We've cleaned up four how-two documents and updated the Confluence pages. We'll be using the next RMFC meeting as a working group to continue making updates. The office hours have been going well with about 4-6 people attending. The next one is scheduled for March 19th and Kurt and Irene will be hosting. 

Linked Data Task Force (Michael Herrick)

Michael would like to talk about this at the meeting today if possible!

LDTF proposes that COLD charge two study groups to investigate, learn and advise STIM/COLD about the main areas of decision-making for the coming decade. They would run for the coming academic year (2024-2025) only and, in addition to studying the salient issues in-depth, they would produce strategy recommendations for STIM/COLD in the form of two white papers or similar documentation.

Study Group 1: Advance learning group for Cataloging in Bibframe and Alma workflows

Study Group 2: LD applications and workflows for Digital Collections

Inclusive Descriptive Task Force (Allison Bailund)

They meet next week. Allison reached out to the Library of Congress directly about the incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII to gauge their willingness to change the heading and they seem open to proposals and apparently have been discussing the issue internally. Allison is preparing new proposals and documentation to send to them (with help from Julie and Yoko who have strong ties to the community).
