titleAbout the Hip Hop LP project

Cornell will produce descriptions natively in RDF for hundreds of uncataloged noncommercial LPs in

the Afrika Bambaataa collection. This collection forms part of Cornell’s extensive archive devoted to this founding figure of Hip Hop culture, which is in turn part of Cornell’s larger Hip Hop Collection

its Hip Hop collection. This collection supports a growing body of international scholars and educators who study Hip Hop not only for its global influence on popular music, art and style, but also for its role in articulating social and political issues. As such, it offers a promising

testbed

test bed for exploring the use of linked data techniques to extend the reach of descriptive metadata. This work will complement Stanford's LD4P work, in association with the Music Library Association (MLA) and other partners, to develop a Performed Music Ontology based on BIBFRAME.

Cornell Project Proposal

titleDeliverables
  • Application profile for use in the description of Hip Hop LPs
  • Natively created RDF descriptions of select items in
the Afrika Bambaataa collection.
  • Cornell's Hip Hop collection: CONTENT.nq (in nquads format)
  • Evaluation of integration of natively created RDF descriptions with descriptions generated through conversion from MARC
.
  • Evaluation and in-the-field testing of the VitroLib RDF cataloging tool

Active participation in

group
  •  group modeling efforts.
Defining
  • Defined cataloging and modeling requirements in consultation with collection curators, including how to model and describe related events (tours, performances); complex attributions (people working under multiple names); annotations; provenance; and other item-specific details such as signed and numbered copies. 

Linked Data Creation

Tool Exploration / Requirements Definition

Experimenting with
  • Held initial meetings with catalogers and VitroLib developers to come to shared understanding of cataloging functional requirements.
  • Created SHACL metadata application profile (MAP) to define implementation of relevant ontologies in the VitroLib editor and facilitate customization of alternative editors, enabling testing of different editing environments.
  • Experimented with iterative updates to the VitroLib editing tool as they

Tool Exploration / Requirements Definition
  • Provided input, chiefly through representation in the MLA, to the development of the Performed Music Ontology, which Cornell will eventually incorporate into its VitroLib editing tool.
