Purpose: Provides a forum for discussion of issues related to Linked Library Data and the role of library metadata in the Semantic web. Goals include: raising awareness of Semantic Web technologies, such as the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and the use of URIs as identifiers within bibliographic descriptions; promoting research on linked data challenges, such as domain modeling and vocabulary selection and design; and informing the ongoing development of existing metadata standards for Libraries, Archives and Cultural Heritage Institutions.

Request for feedback about IGs

  • 1.  Request for feedback about IGs

    Posted Oct 19, 2020 11:02 AM
    The Core transition is changing, in some cases, how interest groups (IGs) operate within ALA. The ALCTS/LITA Linked Library  Data IG (LLDIG) is assessing how its role can and should change and whether the IG serves a need in the Core community. This IG currently hosts panel events twice a year at ALA and ALA Midwinter and manages a list serv. There are two co-chairs and no formal membership. Due to the changing nature of MARC and non-MARC metadata, there is often overlapping content from this IG and other IGs.

    My co-chair, Ben Riesenberg, and I request feedback from the Core community regarding (1) what is considered typical for IGs and (2) what do you recommend for the future of LLDIG?
