Harmonious marriage of BIBFRAME and RDA - the Finnish approach

Description

The National Library of Finland has initiated a project with the aim of transforming our bibliographic data to linked data. During the project, we are creating a data model for linked data, adopting BIBFRAME for Finnish union catalogue, and make it available for all other libraries in Finland. We are also currently preparing for the new version of RDA and hope to build strong support between it and BIBFRAME for our use. To this end, we are building a mapping between RDA and BIBFRAME and hope to use, e.g., expressions and aggregates in the new data model. The project is scheduled for 2022 to 2024 and employs five people full time. Aside from the data model itself, we are also creating conversion rules, a Finnish translation of BIBFRAME, and a supporting vocabulary for cataloguing. The project will also provide training for library personnel in using the new data model.
