All the Reasons to be a Fan of PCC's Strategic Directions Shifting from Authorities to People, Places, Events, Awards… Steven Folsom | Metadata Strategist and Standards Advocate | Cornell University Library PCC Participants Meeting, ALA Annual 2015

PCC Strategic Direction 3 “Existing methods of library authority control are based on constructing unique authorized access points as text strings (literals). This string-based approach works somewhat well in the closed environment of a traditional library catalog, but not in an open environment where data are shared and linked, and so require unique identifiers. The web presents both a challenge and an opportunity for libraries, which are now in a position to take advantage of authorities created outside of the library world, and also to contribute library authority data for use by other communities.” Steven Folsom | Metadata Strategist and Standards Advocate, Cornell University Library | PCC Participants Meeting, ALA Annual 2015

In linked data a URI identifies the thing. The thing can have labels (even preferred labels) and relationships to other things, but none of these traits *identify* the thing. Steven Folsom | Metadata Strategist and Standards Advocate, Cornell University Library | PCC Participants Meeting, ALA Annual 2015

URIs Continued Steven Folsom | Metadata Strategist and Standards Advocate, Cornell University Library | PCC Participants Meeting, ALA Annual 2015

Records/Authorities and the Things They Describe Libraries have Records/Authorities about things The web has webpages about things When we talk about linked data we mean URIs that identify the things themselves, with associated data. We need information resources to be separate entities from the things themselves –A Person and Record/Authority/Website About a Person have different traits, e.g. Creators/Creation dates (You can do the math.) Size (height and weight vs. bytes) Suppressed means something completely different when talking about a person (or class of persons) vs. a record Steven Folsom | Metadata Strategist and Standards Advocate, Cornell University Library | PCC Participants Meeting, ALA Annual 2015

URIs are useful in MARC right now. My position paper previously posted to the PCC list: Steven Folsom | Metadata Strategist and Standards Advocate, Cornell University Library | PCC Participants Meeting, ALA Annual 2015

It’s with this understanding that I’ve taken the position… Steven Folsom | Metadata Strategist and Standards Advocate, Cornell University Library | PCC Participants Meeting, ALA Annual 2015

I strongly oppose AAPs as a means of identification. You should too. If you’re a manager with a backlog and have to deal with AAPs, you’ll love entities with URIs. If you’re a cataloger and have to create unique AAPs, you’ll love entities with URIs. If you’re a data munger and have to collate/disambiguate using AAPs, you’ll love entities with URIs. Steven Folsom | Metadata Strategist and Standards Advocate, Cornell University Library | PCC Participants Meeting, ALA Annual 2015

This is not science fiction. With enough data attached to an entity/URI, an AAP-like display can be created algorithmically. Steven Folsom | Metadata Strategist and Standards Advocate, Cornell University Library | PCC Participants Meeting, ALA Annual 2015

The Good News: The PCC Strategic Plan recognizes the challenges and potential of new strategies. Steven Folsom | Metadata Strategist and Standards Advocate, Cornell University Library | PCC Participants Meeting, ALA Annual 2015

LD4L

Some of the Entities Cornell/LD4L Is Experimenting With bf:Work bf:Instance fabio:Item bf:Topic foaf:Person foaf:Organization prov:Activity madsrdf:TitleElement schema:Event mo:Performance schema:EventVenue Steven Folsom | Metadata Strategist and Standards Advocate, Cornell University Library | PCC Participants Meeting, ALA Annual 2015

LD4L Use Case 2.1 See and search on works by people to discover more works, and better understand people Pilot using MARC records for theses, to create BIBFRAME with links to faculty advisors represented in Cornell’s VIVO (a semantic web faculty profiling system) –VIVO data is enriched by catalog data –Catalog data is enriched by VIVO data Steven Folsom | Metadata Strategist and Standards Advocate, Cornell University Library | PCC Participants Meeting, ALA Annual 2015

Enhancements (With Reciprocity)

LD4L Use Case 4 Pilot Goals Model non-MARC metadata from Cornell Hip Hop Flyer Collection to RDF –Test BIBFRAME for describing the flyers –Test the use of other ontologies for describing other entities, e.g. events, venues (more on this in a moment) Use of LinkedBrainz URIs for performers and other types of entities found in HipHop Flyers to discover relationships to other entities to discover relationships to other entities…

Flyers as BIBFRAME Work/Instances Steven Folsom | Metadata Strategist and Standards Advocate, Cornell University Library | PCC Participants Meeting, ALA Annual 2015

schema:Event/mo:Performance Steven Folsom | Metadata Strategist and Standards Advocate, Cornell University Library | PCC Participants Meeting, ALA Annual 2015

Schema:EventVenue Steven Folsom | Metadata Strategist and Standards Advocate, Cornell University Library | PCC Participants Meeting, ALA Annual 2015

mo:MusicArtist mo:SoloMusicArtist mo:MusicGroup

schema:PostalAddress Steven Folsom | Metadata Strategist and Standards Advocate, Cornell University Library | PCC Participants Meeting, ALA Annual 2015

Linking to external Graphs When we have a LinkedBrainz URI for instances of mo:MusicArtist we can query for relationships to other entities and properties of these new entities. Steven Folsom | Metadata Strategist and Standards Advocate, Cornell University Library | PCC Participants Meeting, ALA Annual 2015

Biggest Challenge Entity reconciliation- Headings to Linked Data entities, e.g. –Labels/Authorities to foaf Agents –Labels/Authorities to Works/Instances –Labels/Authorities to Venues –Etc. It would help tremendously if... –We captured data in MARC with entities in mind, describing them more fully rather than labels –We began to point directly to entities using URIs Steven Folsom | Metadata Strategist and Standards Advocate, Cornell University Library | PCC Participants Meeting, ALA Annual 2015

Why I’m a fan of PCC Strategic Directions The Entity Approach is… Durable- as oppose to fragile strings Extensible- if we need a new entity type we find or create one Reusable- potential to align with modeling done elsewhere on the web Steven Folsom | Metadata Strategist and Standards Advocate, Cornell University Library | PCC Participants Meeting, ALA Annual 2015

“Daddy, what are you doing?” “This guy tells stories. I’m making sure people know about them.” “Are you going to do that for everyone?” “Yes.” Steven Folsom | Metadata Strategist and Standards Advocate, Cornell University Library | PCC Participants Meeting, ALA Annual 2015

A LOT of People say/create/do really important things. We’re here to make sure these things are found. We’re here to make sure that these people are known. We’re here to provide greater context to their work. Steven Folsom | Metadata Strategist and Standards Advocate, Cornell University Library | PCC Participants Meeting, ALA Annual 2015

Thank You. Steven Folsom | Metadata Strategist and Standards Advocate, Cornell University Library | PCC Participants Meeting, ALA Annual 2015
