It reviewed Web content technologies offered by IT vendors, and compared what offered in content technologies by Library IT vendors. To fill in the gap, It developed the preliminary proposal for 1) required data architecture in SOA framework, 2) desired features for managing library print and electronic content on library's website, 3) adoption of Semantic Web standards and technologies for managing library resources, and 4) the case study scenario with sample conceptual model.

The successful implementation of the project made electronic journals subscribed from aggregators and subscription databases available in MARC format in a library catalog, which can be part of the unified index for discovery layer, the user interface and search system for discovering, displaying, and interacting with the resources in library systems.
The availability of metadata also allowed electronic resources, e.g. e-j to be found by relevant criteria in the library’s catalog and discovery services. It enabled the identification of the electronic resources and collocation of similar electronic resources. It made it possible to unbundle the electronic resources from collection level to article level or vice versa through identifier, e.g. ISSN., and provided means to expose and reuse metadata appropriately.

When choosing level of description for digital resources, a metadata librarian has to consider the intended users of the resources, including end users who search and discover the resources, and stakeholders who develop and manage the resources.
The set of metadata defined has to support intended uses of the digital resources, e.g. searching, browsing, navigating, discovering, consuming, publishing, accessing, citing, linking, repurposing, interchanging, sharing, archiving, preserving, managing, right management, securing, reporting and analysis, accessibility, etc.

This presentation describes the strategic direction that the University of Iowa Libraries will take to handle the migration of 2 million electronic resources from Aleph to Alma under the leadership of ALMA Project Team, and the collaboration of Alma Implementation Teams, particularly Metadata Management Team and Acquisitions Team within the Libraries. As we seek advices from peer-institutions during the migration, attendees can leverage the experience and lessons learned from the University of Iowa Libraries’ ALMA implementation of electronic resources.

OCLC Research conducted its 2018 International Linked Data Survey for Implementers. Results showed that 41% of the linked data projects/services described in 2018 were reported as using Wikidata as a source they consumed. In addition, recent development in RDA and BIBFRAME, which are better positioned for Linked Data applications, is a typical example of libraries’ involvement. A group of Chinese American librarians from several institutions formed a Wikidata-China group in hopes of expanding their horizon in library Linked Data and seeking collaboration opportunities. They studied and researched on Wikidata entries for Great Prose Masters of the Tang and Song and Chinese female poets, and discussed characteristics of Wikidata on Chinese r...

This presentation will demonstrate the initial modeling of BIBFRAME works, instances, authority, persons, event, topics, annotation, etc. from local data examples in Opera Land, a collection of opera videos, books, streaming media, etc. interwoven into user’s online experience using Alma, LC MARC to BIBFRAME Transformation Service, etc.

They will also track faculty research activities through university resources and libraries on the Web. The paper will illustrate how to evaluate such system capabilities within existing information management infrastructure at St. John’s University and Libraries strategically and technically under Zachman Architecture Framework. User feedback and corresponding processes for gathering, analyzing and reporting critical info about the users via online surveys will be briefly described.
