Stanford’s linked data production project focuses on technical services workflows. For each of four key production pathways we will examine each step in the workflow, from acquisition to discovery, to determine how best to transition to a linked data production environment. Our emphasis is on following each workflow from start to finish to show an end-to-end linked data production process, and to highlight areas for future work. The four pathways are: copy cataloging through the Acquisitions Department, original cataloging, deposit of a single item into the Stanford Digital Repository, and deposit of a collection of resources into the Stanford Digital Repository.
- Production workflows for creation of linked data
- Tool recommendations for conversion and original creation of linked data
- Best practices for pre- and post-conversion enhancements
- Linked data descriptions of set of Stanford library and digital repository resources
Linked Data Creation
- Automating the conversion, authorities, and load-to-discovery pipeline for vendor-supplied copy
Tool Definition and Development
- Building converter validation suite
