Description
Presenters:
1. Rosemie Callewaert, Project Manager Metadata Architecture, BIBNET, Belgium, http://www.bibnet.be
2. Lukas Koster, Library Systems Coordinator, Library of the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands, http://www.uba.uva.nl
Format:
Duo presentation, confrontation between theory and practice
Background:
The Library of the University of Amsterdam (Lukas' employer) has clear and explicit plans to implement new library 2.0 features: uniform discovery interface, mobile services, linked data/RDF, digital content, etc. However at the moment the UvA Library has not implemented any of this yet, mainly because recently much time has been invested in migrating to a new ILS. There are however a couple of web2.0 features in the new Aleph OPAC (http://opc.uva.nl). Besides that, the UvA Library offers the metasearch (MetaLib) and OpenUrl service (SFX) portal http://digitaal.uba.uva.nl.
Lukas writes about technological, social and cultural developments in libraries on his blog http://commonplace.net, but that is only theory. There has not been an opportunity yet to "practice what he preaches". This will change in the near future.
Bibnet is an organisation founded by the Flemish government for the development of the digital infrastructure and services for local public libraries, in the Flemish (Dutch speaking) part of Belgium.
Rosemie is responsible for the Flemish public library union catalogue portal http://zoeken.bibliotheek.be, built with Aquabrowser based on the metadata of Open Vlacc, in which lots of library2.0 features have been implemented.
Content:
The proposal is to highlight a number of specific topics. Lukas will describe these topics briefly in a theoretical manner: "challenges" and solutions, advantages, etc. with supporting slides. After each short introduction, Rosemie will present the actual implementation in http://zoeken.bibliotheek.be, with some technical clarifications, practical problems, examples, etc.
There will be a kind of dialogue between two people/two environments, hopefully also with interaction with the audience.
Topics:
* frbr/rda/marc/dc
* metasearch vs harvesting and indexing
* datamashups
* linked data/semantic web/rdf/foaf
