Bibliographic Control in the Digital Ecosystem

Abstract

With the contributions of international experts, the book aims to explore the new boundaries of universal bibliographic control. Bibliographic control is radically changing because the bibliographic universe is radically changing: resources, agents, technologies, standards and practices. Among the main topics addressed: library cooperation networks; legal deposit; national bibliographies; new tools and standards (IFLA LRM, RDA, BIBFRAME); authority control and new alliances (Wikidata, Wikibase, Identifiers); new ways of indexing resources (artificial intelligence); institutional repositories; new book supply chain; “discoverability” in the IIIF digital ecosystem; role of thesauri and ontologies in the digital ecosystem; bibliographic control and search engines.

The Integration of the Japan Link Center’s Bibliographic Data into OpenCitations

“…Despite the current dominance of English-language content on the web, language-agnostic architectures are needed to address the challenges posed by globalization and the rising demand for multilingual web accessibility. Nonetheless, a universal solution for representing, storing, and processing multilingual data (Jain & Kysliak 2022) and, in particular, bibliographic data (Bergamin & Guerrini 2022) is still lacking. Over time, OpenCitations has developed general solutions aimed at meeting the needs of a wide range of data to be incorporated into a comprehensive and constantly expanding database capable of accepting information from diverse sources irrespective of the language in which it is generated (Cameron 1997).…”
