Topical Overview
• Primo (Cont)– Metadata and Data Analysis– Challenges and Possibilities
• Common Models and Linked Open Data– An Alternative Approach
• Data Harmonization Benefits– Authority Control– Application Profiles– A possible future for Bibliographic Data

Not an OPAC Replacement
• Primo, Endeca, Encore, AquaBrowser, Library Find, VUFind, WorldCat Local
• Not OPAC Replacements– More seamless discovery– “Web 2.0”– Fewer Clicks - ease of use– Cross-depository discovery

Encore by III“Encore goes beyond the online-catalog model to
provide a better patron experience that leverages library content and patron-contributed information. Key features include:– Faceted search by multiple parameters – RightResult™ relevance-ranking – Real-time holdings and status information – Suggested links to content related to the
user's search”http://www.iii.com/encore/main_index2.html

AquaBrowser“Whatever it is, wherever it is, patrons can quickly
and easily find it using a single interface for all types and formats of content. Visually represented and faceted search results allow your patrons to search and discover information faster and more effectively. Relevant search results help them find answers fast. Word clouds encourage exploration and discovery. Facets help to quickly focus the results.”

Endeca“Endeca for Libraries is the most effective way
for members of the library community to find the book or resource they need and to discover new information they didn't even know the library owned, which drives increased usage of the library's resources, usage of legacy library collections, and re-circulation.”

Primo
“Interfacing seamlessly with library applications from Ex Libris and other vendors … management of all types of library resources, regardless of format and location.”
“Find it all. Find it Easily. Get it”http://www.exlibrisgroup.com/category/PrimoOverview

WorldCat Local• “A localized version of WorldCat with custom
branding and relevancy ranking• … interoperates with your existing ILS and
fulfillment systems …• Single-search, multilingual interface for all
physical and electronic content held locally or in remote locations
• Integrated access to the most appropriate delivery options”
http://www.oclc.org/worldcatlocal/default.htm

One Problem, Many Solutions
• Users want a more seamless discovery experience
• Libraries get locked on the 2.0 buzz– Tagging, Reviews, Recommendations– Improved Relevancy Ranking
• Other goals may be more important– Fewer clicks to fulfillment– Cross-Depository Discovery
Metadata Working Group Forum Cornell 2008-05-16
11
More Intuitive Searching
• Less complicated initial searches• Less pre-search limiting• More post-search limits via
faceting• Appropriate Delivery bubbles up• Trade-offs…
Metadata Working Group Forum Cornell 2008-05-16

Not in your OPAC
• DLF ILS Discovery Interface Task Force• From the “Berkeley Accords”:
– “participants agreed to support a set of essential functions through open protocols and technologies by deploying specific recommended standards”
– Harvesting, Availability, Linking
Metadata Working Group Forum Cornell 2008-05-16
13
Availability and Access
• Links to full resource at the front• Carefully considered SFX options• Record FRBRization and Dedup• Availibility Statements real time
(or as close as possible)

Primo: A Case Study
• Normalization Rules• Delivery templates• Tight SFX and MetaLib Integration• “Pipes” for different data sources• Hourly Availability Checking
– (Real Time in Version 2.0)
Metadata Working Group Forum Cornell 2008-05-16
16
Harvesting
• Different Data Sources• Different Normalization Rules• All standardized on Primo
Normalized XML (PNX) Record– Very Flat, sections corresponding to
Primo Functionality
Metadata Working Group Forum Cornell 2008-05-16
17
The PNX Record
• Display Section• Links Section• Search Section• Sort Section
• Facets Section• Dedup Section• FRBR Section• Delivery Section

Data Sources at NYU
• BobCat (Aleph)• MarcIt!• EAD Records
(Archivists Toolkit)• Preservation
Repository• Faculty Digital
Archive (IR)
• Art Images (Luna Insight)
• MetaLib Resources
• Data in SOLR– Newspaper Index– Data Sets
Metadata Working Group Forum Cornell 2008-05-16

Issues and Challenges
• Managing Deduplication– Dedup Data only out of box for MARC– Writing for OAI-PMH sources (EAD)
• Consortial Environment(s)• Appropriate Delivery Options• “Interpreting” Metadata
Metadata Working Group Forum Cornell 2008-05-16
20
EAD Records
• Archivists Toolkit– Previously in Access, Notepad, Excel– Authority Control (sort of)
• OAI-PMH Overlay• Multiple layers of Crosswalking• Deduping
Metadata Working Group Forum Cornell 2008-05-16

EAD / Aleph Dedup
• Aleph Title:– James E. Jackson and Esther Cooper Jackson
papers
• EAD Title:– Guide to the James E. Jackson and Esther
Cooper Jackson papers 1917-2004 (Bulk 1937-1992) Tamiment 347

Value of Dedup
• Indexing the Best of Both Worlds• EAD Records:
– Inventory– Long Biographical / Historical Notes
• MARC Data:– Cross References for Access Points
Metadata Working Group Forum Cornell 2008-05-16

Why is it so hard?
• Continually Repetition of Effort

A Distinction
• Metadata Harmonization:– the “ability to use serveral different
metadata standards in a single software system.”
• Metadata Normalization:– mapping serveral different metadata
standards to a single schema or structure for use in a single software system.

Linked Open Data
• Use URIs as names for things • Use HTTP URIs so that people can look
up those names. • When someone looks up a URI, provide
useful information. • Include links to other URIs. so that they
can discover more things. http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html
Metadata Working Group Forum Cornell 2008-05-16
29
Primo is NOT Linked Data
• List of nearly a dozen sources, some “normalized” more than once
• “Normalized” into another proprietary format, used by one system
• Additional Resources require additional pipes
Metadata Working Group Forum Cornell 2008-05-16
30
Linked Library Data
• Resources get URI’s early in lifecycle
• Properties get URI’s• Vocabularies get URI’s• Everything is dereferenceable as
to it’s meaning
Metadata Working Group Forum Cornell 2008-05-16
31
Conclusions
• DCMI/RDA Work• NSDL Registry Work• LC Registry Work• MODs as RDF (Simile & LC)• OAI-ORE• OAI2LOD
Metadata Working Group Forum Cornell 2008-05-16
32
Conclusions
• This stuff is happening• We need to be playing with it• We need to be applying lessons
from projects like Primo to it• Library Data is a key component!

…and Librarydata is extremelycomplicated
Metadata Working Group Forum Cornell 2008-05-16
34
MARC Record Graph• Does not include authority data• Coins new URI’s any non-literal value• Contains a few minor modeling errors
