ABSTRACT Little effort has been devoted to the systematic examination of published Linked Data in the library community. This article examines the quality of linked bibliographic data published by the national libraries of Spain, France, the United Kingdom, and Germany. The examination is mainly based on a statistical study of the vocabulary usage and interlinking practices in the published data sets. The study finds that the national libraries successfully adapt established Linked Data principles, but issues at the data level can limit the fitness of use. In addition, the study reveals that these four libraries have chosen widely different solutions to all the aspects examined.

ABSTRACT The Archivio di Studi Adriatici (ASA) is a repository of the Institute of Marine Sciences (ISMAR-CNR) of Venice. The ASA repository, completely open source and open access, hosts natural collections, heritage books, documents, and maps of the Institute of Marine Sciences. It was developed following the discovery of a historical algal collection at the Biblioteca Storica di Studi Adriatici of Venice. This collection, after having been catalogued, has been digitized with a digital planetary scanner. Digitized specimens and metadata, compiled using Dublin Core and Simple Darwin Core formats, are hosted on a website, based on Fedora Repository and Islandora framework.

ABSTRACT The University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) University Libraries recently completed a pilot project exploring the repurposing of descriptive metadata for archival collections stored in ArchivesSpace for the creation of original MAchine-Readable Cataloging (MARC) records contributed to OCLC WorldCat. The libraries’ past and present processes for generating finding aids and cataloging records are discussed, and specific edits to the MARC records generated by this new workflow are detailed.

ABSTRACT The introduction of Amazon's Kindle eReader in 2007 and of Barnes & Noble's Nook eReader in 2010 brought with them an excitement for e-books and a sudden increase in user adoption of the format. In less than a decade's time, however, enthusiasm for e-books quickly leveled off. This article examines e-books as a format in comparison with other resource formats through the lens of the Resource Description and Access content standard as a way to better understand the resilience to supersession that print has displayed in the face of e-books.

ABSTRACT The study examined user-generated tags to digitized primary visual archival resources to identify the nature of tags as image description. A collection of 3,191 tags from a digital portal (NINES) was used for the study. The tags were analyzed in terms of the attributes of primary archival visual resources users described. The tags were also compared to metadata to detect their relationship with metadata. The findings help understand users' tagging behavior and resource interpretation in primary and historical visual resources in humanities domains. The results of this study demonstrate the value of tags in identifying and determining user points of view and tags' potential to represent and connect to metadata description and to support discovery of relevant resources.

ABSTRACT Digital libraries are developed by and for their communities. Metadata is a key aspect of digital libraries, and so it too must reflect the contexts of those communities. In this paper I argue that Basil Bernstein's theory of language codes as socially constructed phenomena that reflect the contexts of the communities in which they are used provides novel methods for approaching the notion of community appropriate metadata. It reminds us that metadata is socially constructed; encourages us to look at metadata holistically; offers a means of understanding community appropriate metadata as instances of restricted codes; and provides an intriguing method for analyzing traditional metadata structures such as large, comprehensive controlled vocabularies and classification systems.

The library linked data environment promises to meet libraries' needs for agility in content delivery and user engagement on the Web. This project chose BIBFRAME 2.0 to demonstrate the purpose by covering the initial BIBFRAME 2.0 modeling and conversion of the sample bibliographic data in Opera Planet, a collection of opera librettos, scores, videos, sound recordings, streaming media, and so forth. The project also developed a proof-of-concept demo site for linked library data application for content enhancement and visualization using various tools, particularly the MARC to BIBFRAME Transformation Service, RDF Translator, AngularJS 2.0, and external open linked data.

We propose a proof-of-concept of how the best of the Web world (RESTful services, Semantic technologies, and CMSs) can be successfully incorporated in the form of a semantic mashup. This mashup enriches data from various Web APIs with semantics to produce personalized book recommendations and to make them available as Linked Data. It is shown that this approach not only leaves reasoning expressiveness and effective ontology management uncompromised but comes to their benefit. It also bears potential applications for libraries and cataloguing services that can take advantage of mashup merging, semantic personalization, and ranking of book records and reviews.

Current standards for describing rare materials are limited in the mechanisms they provide for encoding item-specific features, such as the presence of handwritten annotations on a page, in a way that facilitates machine manipulation. As a member of the Linked Data for Production (LD4P) project, Princeton University Library is undertaking initial work to encode handwritten dedications within the library of Jacques Derrida as linked open data. The implications of this modeling work potentially extend well beyond the rare book cataloging community and into many different areas of bibliographic description.
