The CORE Copy Cataloging Interest Group (CCIG) is happy to invite you to register for its session during the 2022 Virtual Interest Group Week.
Date: Tuesday, March 8th, 2022
Time: 11 am-12 pm (CST) / 12-1 pm (EST) / 9-10 am (PST)
Title: "Copy Cataloging in BIBFRAME and Linked Data: How Possible Is It"
Registration is free.
While it's exciting to see multiple linked data initiatives across our profession now bearing fruit, we still face challenges in how to transform our legacy and ongoing MARC records to linked data, and share or reuse the data and workflows. Is the concept of "copy-cataloging" even meaningful in this new environment of BIBFRAME and other linked data schema? After a short presentation by each panelist, we will open the floor to questions and a panel discussion. Our panelists are:
1. Al Tyas: Geography, Political Science & Education Section, U.S. Arts, Sciences, And Humanities Division, Acquisitions & Bibliographic Access Directorate, Library of Congress
Al's primary responsibilities include copy cataloging, CIP verification, minimal-level cataloging and full descriptive cataloging. He became a BIBFRAME database tester in 2015 when the pilot began, and has created hundreds of BIBFRAME records. Al has also given multiple presentations on how to perform copy cataloging in BIBFRAME.
Presentation Title: Copy Cataloging and Web-Based Data: Navigating among BibFrame, OCLC, and MARC
Abstract: Copy cataloging is generally a process that is compatible with integrated library systems (ILS) because of the ease of analysis, downloading, refining the record, and end-stage processing. However, the Library of Congress (LC) does not currently have a direct relationship between the BibFrame and OCLC databases. This presentation will discuss LC’s solution to bridge the gap, namely their copy cataloging workflow utilizing the ILS until BibFrame and OCLC are more directly integrated. Navigating the three databases is necessary to continue serving our users while shifting toward BibFrame and away from MARC.
2. Nancy Lorimer: Associate Director of Metadata Services at Stanford University
Nancy is active in the Linked Data for Production (LD4P) Project and a primary stakeholder for Sinopia. She is a voting member of the PCC Policy Committee (PoCo), co-chair of the PCC Metadata Application Profiles Working Group, and a member of the Standing Committee on Training. She also represents Stanford and LD4P on the Share-VDE Advisory Council, the SVDE Sapientia Entity Identification Working Group.
Presentation Title: Re-use or Copy? Redefining copy cataloging in a linked data environment
Abstract: Moving technical services workflow to a linked data environment will rely heavily on the cooperative creation & sharing of RDF-based metadata through various linked data repositories or "nodes" and the ability to reuse that data in local systems and discovery layers, or in other words, copy cataloging! In developing workflows based around Sinopia, a linked data editor developed at Stanford, and Questioning Authority, an authority lookup service developed at Cornell, Stanford Libraries has been investigating how copy cataloging is manifested in a linked open data environment. This presentation will demonstrate copy cataloging using Sinopia, and discuss issues pertaining to interoperability, reusability, and how copy cataloging is redefined in this new environment.
3. Ian Bigelow: Head of Cataloging Strategies at the University of Alberta Library (UAL)
Ian is currently a member of the PCC Policy Committee, PCC Linked Data Advisory Committee, Canadian Committee on Cataloging, Share VDE Advisory Council, Share VDE Sapientia Entity Identification Working Group, and the Sinopia Users Group.
Presentation Title: Interchangeable Entities: BIBFRAME Implementation, Interoperability, and Metadata Reuse
Abstract: Copy cataloguing workflows for libraries have been fine tuned over decades, relying on maximizing the available targets/data pools to minimize effort towards original description. Even large libraries rely on this balancing of efforts for continued operation, so what does this look like with BIBFRAME? As the University of Alberta Library is working on BIBFRAME implementation over the coming years, this is a key area of investigation. This presentation will touch on issues related to conversion processes, entity identification, metadata standardization and interoperability, and vendor support in this context, highlighting success stories and challenges ahead.
