Linked library data

The project includes the transition to the production of linked library data and the development of the activities as a whole. The focus is on the data model of Melinda and the bibliographic description within Melinda, as well as increasing the use of identifiers in description, including the development of the National Library identifier services and the Metadata Vocabulary in the Finto service. The project is mainly related to quality improvement and platform change of Melinda, in connection with the change of the internal information model (MARC 21 - > BIBFRAME). The project includes both technical development (development of integration, current applications and interfaces) and information modeling work, MARC 21 – BIBFRAME mapping work, staff training in the library network. We would use the experiences of the Swedish Kungliga Biblioteket, which has had a similar project in connection with the transition to Libris XL.

The national metadata repository Melinda, will be moving to use a new linked data data model in bibliographic description. For this, a new Bibframe-based data model will be produced. For the conversion of the Melinda metadata, conversion rules and a conversion program will be prepared.
