Breakout 1: Wikidata
Interacting with Wikidata / Dan Scott, Laurentian Univ.
A grounded overview of methods for interacting with Wikidata, especially via the SPARQL endpoint and the Mediawiki action API.
Surfacing Knowledge, Building Relationships: Indigenous Communities, ARL and Canadian Libraries / Stacy Allison-Cassin and Anna St. Onge, York Univ.
This project is creating linked open data for archival and special collection materials related to Indigenous communities in North America, using Wikidata to incorporate traditional knowledge structures as valid conceptual frameworks with a focus on provisions to respect and defend the agency and authority of individuals, families, and communities to exercise their right to not participate, or have their information used in linked data initiatives. This exploration of the application of Wikidata into linked data environments in research libraries focuses in particular on Wikidata's place as a source for identifiers. Wikidata was chosen because of its easy-to-use interface and its ability to act as a linking hub to other linked data stores.

Breakout 2: Scalable and Shareable Linked Data Descriptions
Metadata Quality / Axel Polleres, Vienna Univ. of Economics and Business
Using RDF Descriptions of Worksets to Enhance the Utility of Digital Libraries / Tim Cole, Univ. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
The HathiTrust Research Center uses linked data for “layered digital libraries” that support scholarly analysis in ways that traditional digital libraries cannot. With a linked open data model of worksets (coherent collections of digital objects designed to support scholarly inquiries), the HathiTrust will enable scholars to create links to objects and annotations from other digital libraries and linked data services; and to study resources at the granular level of chapters, articles, individual pages, etc. The linked data workset model supports transforming graphs on the fly, and retrieving data from multiple digital library triple stores. The presentation will also describe work on adding domain-specific, computed, and extended metadata to existing workset descriptions.
Breakout 3: RDA
Lunch
Full session: Implementation Case Studies
Digital Repository Migration with Linked Data / Jennifer Young, Northwestern Univ.
This case study of the migration of Northwestern University Libraries’ digital image repository to Hyrax/Fedora 4 will cover reconciliation with OpenRefine; mapping among Dublin Core, BibFrame, VRACore3, and schema.org; the use of multiple controlled vocabularies; extending the Hyrax metadata editor; and integration with Primo discovery environment.
Implementing Linked Data in the OCUL Scholars Portal / Wei Zhao, Univ. of Toronto
The Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL) Scholars Portal (SP) provides shared technology infrastructure and shared collections for all 21 university libraries in the province. This case study describes SP’s project to model journal entitlement and collection metadata as linked data to build links among SP collections and to interact with external sources for enhanced discovery. Topics addressed include modeling decisions and use of existing ontologies; experience with the functionality of the MarkLogic Semantics platform; challenges of integrating data from various sources; and plans for integration with local library systems.
Gaining Traction: Going into Production with BibFrame in the Swedish Union Catalogue / Niklas Lindstrom, National Library of Sweden
Fedora Digital Asset Management System / Xiaoli Li and Quinn Hart, UC Davis
This case study describes implementation of a Fedora-based digital asset management system that supports discovery across multiple metadata schemas describing library resources as varied as wine labels, historical photos, and digitized books.
Integration of QA and authorities caching server / Dave Eichmann, Univ. of Iowa
Breakout 2: Ontology Maintenance
LD4 extensions
PCC BSR and CSR Mappings / Jennifer Baxmeyer, Princeton Univ., and Amber Billey, Bard College
The Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) develops and maintains the BIBCO Standard Record (BSR) and the CONSER Standard Record (CSR) Metadata Application Profiles, which guide catalogers in creating authenticated bibliographic records according to PCC and RDA guidelines. Mapping these application profiles to BIBFRAME raises questions about ontology modeling and about mapping maintenance.
