Purpose
The PCC Sinopia Cataloging Affinity Group provides a welcoming, collaborative, and supportive space to learn and discuss cataloging in Sinopia using PCC Sinopia Templates, PCC cataloging standards, and PCC authoritative vocabularies. The group aims to:
- Expand the use of Sinopia in the PCC community, contributing to the development of a body of original cataloging in a linked data context
- Influence the future development of Sinopia by coordinating feedback from PCC users to the Sinopia development team, and by serving as a community of users for usability interviews and testing
- Provide input on the creation and evolution of PCC Sinopia Templates
- Identify training needs of new PCC Sinopia Users
- Explore how to cooperate effectively in a linked data cataloging environment

- This session will serve as the first meeting of the PCC Sinopia Cataloging Affinity Group. Designed for PCC catalogers working in Sinopia, the session will introduce attendees to the use of PCC profiles and standards in Sinopia and to allow time to practice and review creating descriptions with the PCC profiles and following PCC standards. The session will begin with an overview of the available resources including training modules and the newly founded Affinity Group. Prior to the session, we will provide sample practice material that can be reviewed in the session and also will provide a starting point for any questions regarding PCC profiles and PCC standards within Sinopia.
