Common Model for creating Web Data!
BIBFRAME Approach• Identify functional descriptive requirements among various stakeholders
• Balance the creative tensions between descriptive needs of past and future
• Recognize there is no “done”, but rather an evolving process
• Define a high level Linked Data content / carrier model (simple things be simple, complex things be possible)
• Create Web Identifiers of “Nouns” and “Verbs”
• Under specify the shared Schema
• Provide a light weight means of constraining the option space to support specific individual, community needs
!
BIBFRAME Profiles are a sharable blueprint (from simple to complex) that
support a specific communities descriptive need!

Act 3 Benefits, near term opportunities
and lessons learned
An example of a new kind of “Workflow” on Web
Linked Data Analytics
Conclusion• BIBFRAME profiles represent a means for projecting local
meaning into a common framework based on global standards
• A means for using only the portion of BIBFRAME you need
• Relaxes assumption to wait on “final” vocabulary
• BIBFRAME Editor is designed to help ground the discussions
• A means for accelerating BIBFRAME experimentation
• Implementation is early, but results are incredibly promising
