The Library of Congress will undertake 4 subprojects as part of LD4P:

  • Audio Visual and Sound Recordings
  • Prints and Photographs
  • BIBFRAME 2.0
  • General RDA Collections

Audio Visual and Sound Recordings

Overview

This project will explore best practices for creating Linked Data descriptions for Library of Congress resources for audio visual and sound recording resources (AV). The Library of Congress work will focus on its archival film and recorded sound whereas other LD4P projects involving this material will have different perspectives. Being able to collaborate during the development will enhance the work. A major study was commissioned by the Library in 2014 regarding data models for AV data, and another study is being prepared that analyzes the need for technical and preservation metadata in bibliographic descriptions. The recommendations from these studies need to be integrated into the BIBFRAME model and the BIBFRAME vocabulary adjusted. That activity will be part of this project and also the Library of Congress Vocabulary 2.0 project. In addition, this project will evaluate the thesauri and controlled vocabularies best suited to describe audio visual and sound recording resources in a linked data environment. 

Objectives

  • Accommodate the AV model referenced above into the BIBFRAME environment.
  • Investigate relationship between descriptive and technical metadata and investigate other vocabularies for describing properties of audio visual and sound recording resources.
  • Create and evaluate BIBFRAME Editor profiles for audio visual and sound recording resources using BIBFRAME 2.0.
  • Inform the development of metadata production tools to ensure compatibility for describing audio visual and sound recording resources.
  • Describe a representative selection of audio visual and sound recording resources using the BIBFRAME Editor profiles and make these descriptions available.
  • Evaluate project results and share a set of recommendations for further research and development.
  • Engage with external metadata communities (Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC), Online Audiovisual Catalogers (OLAC), Music Library Association (MLA), Association for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC), etc.) to discuss best practices for the description of audio visual and sound recording resources.

Community

  • Library of Congress cataloging, training, and technical divisions, and the National Audio Visual Conservation Center staff
  • LD4P partner institution members
  • Selection of project contributors from the greater community of AV metadata specialists and linked data professionals

Audio Visual and Sound Recordings Collections: This project will explore best practices for creating Linked Data descriptions for Library of Congress resources for audio visual and sound recording resources (AV). A major study was commissioned by the Library in 2014 regarding data models for AV data, and another study is being prepared that analyzes the need for technical and preservation metadata in bibliographic descriptions. The recommendations from these studies need to be integrated into the BIBFRAME model and the BIBFRAME vocabulary adjusted. LC will be a part of Stanford’s Music Ontology Project and together with that group will formalize the extensions to the BIBFRAME ontology. That activity will be part of this project and also the Library of Congress Vocabulary 2.0 project. In addition, this project will evaluate the thesauri and controlled vocabularies best suited to describe audio visual and sound recording resources in a linked data environment. Deliverables will include: 1) BIBFRAME Editor profiles for audio visual and sound recording resources; 2) a searchable BIBFRAME database of descriptions that consists of converted MARC authority and bibliographic records from the LC/ NACO Authority File and the Library of Congress bibliographic database; 3) a set of BIBFRAME descriptions for audio visual and sound recording resources; 4) a written evaluation of the project and recommendations for future research and development; and, 5) a presentation of project findings to appropriate library organizations and linked data communities.
