Harvard will create native Linked Data descriptions for a selection of library cartographic resources including printed maps, atlases, digital geospatial datasets, and other cartographic information resources.
Together with LD4L-Labs partners, Harvard will convert a set of Harvard Geospatial Library metadata records into linked data descriptions.
- Set of natively cataloged BIBFRAME descriptions for a variety of cartographic resource types using the cartographic materials extension ontology.
- Develop a set of mapping rules for Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) geospatial metadata standards to linked data.
- A set of Harvard Geospatial Library metadata records converted to linked open data using the cartographic materials extension.
