Cataloging rare books as linked data: a use case

Talk by Paloma Graciani-Picardo and Brittney Washington, Harry Ransom Center - University of Texas at Austin, United States of America Linked Data for Production phase 2 (LD4P2), a two-year pilot supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation wrapped up in May 2020. As a member of the LD4P2 cohort, the Harry Ransom Center is eager to share with the community some of our activities within the project and lessons learnt. Application profiles have been at the core of LD4P2 activities and the Ransom Center has supported this effort with the evaluation of ontologies, models, vocabularies and best practices for item-level description of rare and special collection materials in a linked data collaborative environment. In this presentation, we will discuss our work analyzing MARC to BIBFRAME conversion, defining local workflows for linked data cataloging and self-training strategies, and developing an application profile for special collections materials. We will do a quick review of the existing ontologies and controlled vocabularies relevant to the project, and present data modeling approaches and challenges. Finally, but no less important, we will emphasize the value of special collections community engagement in these types of projects and the need for continued collaboration beyond the grant.
