The talk will cover the process of creating video game controlled vocabulary in Wikidata and the translation of the vocabulary to 6 languages (English, German, French, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean).

Serials cataloging is the National Library of Medicine's bread and butter because of the importance of serials to the medical community and internal dependencies related to article indexing. This talk discusses some of the challegnes we face in cataloging serials, a living, changing bibliographic entity with BIBFRAME.

The work of the American Beat Generation author William S. Burroughs is notorious among collectors and bibliographers for its scale and complexity. In this presentation, we describe our objectives and experiences in representing, enhancing, and publishing the information in Brian E.C. Schottlaender’s “Anything But Routine: A Selectively Annotated Bibliography of William S. Burroughs, version 4.0” as linked data using BIBFRAME 2.0 and ARM ontologies.

The concept of the (metadata) application profile has for two decades been a central focus of attention in the Dublin Core community and has underpinned many of DCMI's development efforts. There continues to be significant community interest in developing tools to help people create and document application profiles and, more recently, in technologies for validating data produced according to profiles. This talk will describe a new initiative to respond to this interest.

This talk presents the work of the LD4P Profiles Working Group to develop initial protocols for collaborative development of profiles in the LD4P Sinopia shared environment. Attendees will (1) get a better sense of what a BIBFRAME profile is and how it can be managed; (2) understand the challenges of working with profiles on a shared environment; (3) learn about strategies and best practices for profile re-use; and (4) see a live-demo of the tools and the workflow.

This presentation highlights some key lessons from our experiences in the OCLC Research’s Linked Data Wikibase Prototype (“Project Passage”) regarding Wikidata’s multilingualism support.

The Canadian Federation of Library Associations launched the BIBFRAME Readiness Workgroup in late 2018 with the mission to assess the readiness of Canadian libraries to adopt BIBFRAME. In 2019, the workgroup will survey Canadian libraries to measure their readiness for a transition to, and their understanding of, BIBFRAME. These findings, analyzed by demographics including library type, library size, participant role, and region, will inform the Canadian library community's efforts to support BIBFRAME adoption.
