Working together, we can enhance catalogues, improve the
visibility of collections and provide a better user
experience for patrons.
Libraries, archives and museums hold a vast quantity of data
and resources that, until now, have often remained hidden
from sight in catalogues and archives. By implementing the
BIBFRAME data model and facilitating the interoperability
with IFLA LRM and other widely used ontologies,
bibliographic information can be transformed into Linked
Data, revealing it to a wider audience and encouraging
greater engagement with library, archive and museum
collections.
Linking bibliographic data and resources from a network of
libraries, archives and museums increases the dissemination
and discoverability of knowledge and allows patrons to
search in a range of catalogues at once.
Share Family member institutions and consortia are actively
involved in shaping the future of the emerging ecosystem of
bibliographic data in linked data, facilitating the re-use
of enriched and structured data and serving the research
community with a new generation tool to access knowledge.
