Current situation Web scale discovery services, aggregation portals

and Linked data Libraries

may enhance the impact of their collections host a variety of materials use many metadata formats

Metadata interoperability: common vocabularies and harmonization with commonly accepted conceptual models

Libraries use MARC family of standards for record-based descriptions of library objects

Requirement:Easy transition to any new model!

Alignment of EDM to library metadata

EDM related mapping tasks EDM library alignment report (2012)

Notion of ‘edition’ FRBR concepts under consideration

Edition = union of FRBR Work – Expression – Manifestation entities

EDM-FRBRoo application profile (2013) FRBRoo, object-oriented version of FRBR Compliance with FRBR concepts Using FRBRoo semantics

WORKDon Quixote (DQ)

EXPRESSIONEnglish translation of DQ

MANIFESTATIONEmbodiment of Expression

ITEMSingle copy of the book

Methodology

Selection of specific type(s) of library material Requirements for a BIBFRAME – EDM profile Real test case and bibliographic records Test case in BIBFRAME Path-oriented approach Transformation of BIBFRAME representation in

EDM following the library data alignment report

10

Test case

Focus on monographs and multivolume works

Don Quixote de la Mancha multipart monograph

published in a single volume published as individual volumes too

Seven bibliographic records from National Library of Spain and Library of Congress

single volume)4= Histoire de l'admirable don Quichotte de la Manche (French Translation of 3)5= The history of the most renowned Don Quixote of Mancha (English translation of 4)6= Don Quijote de la Mancha, annotated edition by F.Rico (Annotated edition incorporating

1,2,3 texts)7= Don Quijote de la Mancha, CDROM (Annotated edition in CD ROM. Includes a linguistic

database that we think as a separate Work)

Mapping to BIBFRAME to EDM is achievable without significant loss of semantics

Basic BIBFRAME path

Existence of this path justifies aggregation of this Instance (+ Work) by Europeana, mapping of the BIBFRAME “Work – hasInstance –

Instance” path to one edm:ProvidedCHO class an instantiation of the edm:webResource class

Work –hasInstance – Instance - hasAnnotation - heldMaterial - electronicLocator – URI

path – oriented approach BIBFRAME under development and EDM updated

regularly Future investigations

Other types of material Non digitized materials Use of ore:proxy class
