The project team will work with the Blacklight community through a combination of reference implementations and workshops to disseminate approaches and encourage both community code development and deployment. The result will be better contextualization of persons, organizations, places and other entities in our user interfaces. We will also expand on the work started in LD4P2 about appropriately incorporating linked data into library services, and work to identify what external data sources can and should be enriched through library data contributions. Software will be contributed back to the community Blacklight codebase, and we will continue to work with Wikidata as the most promising service that provides the data necessary to interlink between library and non-library resources, leveraging the contributions of both the professional library community and the volunteer Wikidata community.
Research "track"
DASH! (Discovery Across Subject Headings)
- Data analysis
- Screenshots of prototype
- Usability results
- Mockups
This phase explored the use of linked data sources to provide additional context to and relationships for authors and subjects. We generated prototypes for integrating information into knowledge panels as well as into dedicated author and subject pages.
- Data analysis
- DASH! subject headings index
- Original design brainstorming/subject page design (Astrid Usong)
- Usability results (includes screenshots of prototype that was used in test)
- Pre-production process and feedback
- Production work
- Lessons learned
- Demo video
- Code:
- For experimental prototype: https://github.com/ld4p/blacklight-cornell/tree/dashExperiment.
- Production work in repo: https://github.com/cul-it/blacklight-cornell/
BANG! (Bibliographic Associations Newly GUI'ed
...
)
In this phase, we are analyzing relationships between works and instances and how we can use information about these relationships from data sources like ShareVDE generated BIBFRAME and the Library of Congress Hubs to bring in information about related items into the catalog.
- Preliminary data analysis
- Analysis of selected data sources (report)
- Scripts for data analysis
- First prototype version screenshots (BANG! prototype screenshots.pdf)
- Usability Report
- Demo video
- Lessons learned
- Code
- For experimental prototype used in usability testing/demo video: https://github.com/LD4P/blacklight-cornell/tree/bangdemo
BAMWOW! (Browsing Across Music With Obtainable Wikidata)
In this phase we explored how one can improve the library catalog browse experience for music recording items through the addition of information from Wikidata.
- Meeting notes: initial meeting, meeting with Wikidata group, post prototype meeting notes
- Examples of musical recording catalog items used for development and design
- Prototype screenshots (PDF)
- Usability Report
- Demo video
- Lessons learned
- Code
- For experimental prototype version used in usability testing: https://github.com/LD4P/blacklight-cornell/tree/bamwow
- For experimental prototype used in the demo video: https://github.com/LD4P/blacklight-cornell/tree/bamwowdemo
