Abstract
Linked Data has emerged as a promising solution to transform library metadata creation and sharing. Globally unique identifiers, given in the form of URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers), are a key requirement for the effective dissemination of library data on the Semantic Web as well as for the conversion of legacy MARC records to Linked Data. The MARC format has been expanded to accommodate identifiers for a wide range of entities in bibliographic records. Bibliographic data in Alma has been enriched with URIs from various sources. In this presentation, two members of the Joint IGELU/ELUNA Working Group on Linked Open Data will highlight their findings on how URIs are handled in Alma comparing with the best practices by the PCC (Program for Cooperative Cataloging). The presenters will also discuss issues associated with converting MARC records with 880 parallel fields (particularly those related to access points) to BIBFRAME and share their preliminary thoughts on possible solutions.
