NISO Input Forum Bibliographic Roadmap

Work to make vocabularies work across systems - create and manage mappings; work on diversity issues, such as how to connect bibliographic data to scientific data; explore exchange formats and application profiles.

 

Some considerations are: mapping challenges, data inconsistency, directions, vocabularies, etc. as described in https://sites.google.com/site/nisobibrm/breakout-group-interoperability

Improve the ability of our data to be consumed and manipulated by machines (e.g. limit assumptions about consumers/users)

A strategy emphasized in order to improve interoperability between existing systems and standards, enable better visibility of library data (bibliographic data) for end users on the web, enable use by a broader variety of users and systems with no boundaries, enhance collaborative and shared infrastructures... more »

Examine issues around 'authority' (in a larger sense) and maintenance of library data, given a tension between community (social) data and expert data. Find measures to use to evaluate incoming data to be able to identify areas to improve.

Describe use cases and business value/ROI for putting bibliographic data on the Web. include scenarios, prototype, clearinghouse

Create prototypes to tease out what needs to be addressed by interchange formats and what needs to be addressed by interactions between systems (API calls). Prototypes should include different models: complete import of data; just linking; hybrids.

Determine answers to questions around users:

Who are they? How can they and their input be measured? Privacy issues. "Hit and run" versus regular users. Open use cases, etc.

How can users be empowered to create or contribute to bibliographic data?

Given the impact of rules, authority issues, where core, basic data is required; there is a need for extensibility/scalability; and data and standards are dynamic, should we:

identify the scale of the problem; determine its starting point; determine format and cataloging rules; manage semantic vocabularies and content through application community profiles; determine question of how one size can fit all (libraries,... more »

Create a forum and wiki space for sharing linked data projects, perhaps piggy backing on the OpenBiblioProject list or Code4Lib. Track what syntax/vocabularies are in use.

Understand impact of adoption on existing business models for libraries/vendors

identify pain points in moving forward (ex. lack of mapping, services)

To support knowledge creation, we need to support interactive interfaces that enable users to share their thoughts about the content and relationships they discover. We need to support the scaffolding of new knowledge as users interact with our content and with each other about our content. We need to think in 3D about engagement in the digital space.

Partner with others in open spaces - open data and copyright offices, wikipedia etc.
