“…In any case, it has already been established by others that separation of expressions from even the original combined MARC fields is possible by mostly automated processing along with manual correction [3,9], so should a need for further separation arise, one could just repeat a similar split procedure as just presented for the BookSampo data.…”

Abstract. BookSampo is a semantic portal in use, covering metadata about practically all Finnish fiction literature of Finnish public libraries on a work level. The system introduces a variety of semantic web novelties deployed into practise: The underlying data model is based on the emerging functional, content-centered metadata indexing paradigm using RDF. Linked Data principles are used for mapping the metadata with tens of interlinked ontologies in the national FinnONTO ontology infrastructure. The contents are also linked with the large Linked Data repository of related cultural heritage content of CultureSampo. BookSampo is actually based on using CultureSampo as a semantic web service, demonstrating the idea of re-using semantic content from multiple perspectives without the need for modifications. Most of the content has been transformed automatically from existing databases, with the help of ontologies derived from thesauri in use in Finland, but in addition tens of volunteered librarians have participated in a Web 2.0 fashion in annotating and correcting the metadata, especially regarding older litarature. For this purpose, semantic web editing tools and public ONKI ontology services were created and used. The paper focuses on lessons learned in the process of creating the semantic web basis of BookSampo.

“…The detected concepts in a MARC record are used to measure the semantic similarity between the MARC record and the document to be classified and indexed as described in 2. (Hickey et al, 2002), which will be parsed and added to the MARC record.…”

Purpose – This paper aims to report on the design and development of a new approach for automatic classification and subject indexing of research documents in scientific digital libraries and repositories (DLR) according to library controlled vocabularies such as DDC and FAST. Design/methodology/approach – The proposed concept matching-based approach (CMA) detects key Wikipedia concepts occurring in a document and searches the OPACs of conventional libraries via querying the WorldCat database to retrieve a set of MARC records which share one or more of the detected key concepts. Then the semantic similarity of each retrieved MARC record to the document is measured and, using an inference algorithm, the DDC classes and FAST subjects of those MARC records which have the highest similarity to the document are assigned to it. Findings – The performance of the proposed method in terms of the accuracy of the DDC classes and FAST subjects automatically assigned to a set of research documents is evaluated using standard information retrieval measures of precision, recall, and F1. The authors demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach in terms of accuracy performance in comparison to a similar system currently deployed in a large scale scientific search engine. Originality/value – The proposed approach enables the development of a new type of subject classification system for DLR, and addresses some of the problems similar systems suffer from, such as the problem of imbalanced training data encountered by machine learning-based systems, and the problem of word-sense ambiguity encountered by string matching-based systems.

“…In every case, researchers determined that, though it was very difficult to automate any identification of expressions, application of work-level categories both simplifies and improves search result sets. 36 An algorithm common to several of these applications is freely available as an open source application, and now as a public interface option in OCLC's WorldCat Local. 37 The algorithm creates an author/title key to cluster worksets (often at a higher level than the FRBR work, as in the case of the two distinct works that are the book and screenplay for Gone with the Wind).…”

FRBRization of a Library Catalog: Better Collocation of Records, Leading to Enhanced Search, Retrieval, and Display

1 After a brief recapitulation of the challenges posed by certain library materials-specifically, but not limited to, audiovisual materials-this report will present FRBR's benefits as a means of organizing the database and public search results from an OPAC. 2 FRBR's hierarchical system of records defines families of bibliographic relationship between records and collocates them better than most extant bibliographic systems; it thus affords both library users and staff a more streamlined navigation between related items in different materials formats and among editions and adaptations of a work. In the eight years since the FRBR report's publication, a handful of working systems have been developed. The first benefits of such a system to an average academic library system would be felt in a branch music library, but research already has proven its advantages for fine arts, theology, and literature-the bulk of the non-science, technology, and mathematics collections. ■ Current search and retrieval challengesThe difficulties faced first, but not exclusively, by music users of most integrated library systems fall into two related categories: issues of materials formats, and issues of cataloging, indexing, and MARC record structure. Music libraries must collect, catalog, and support materials in more formats than anyone else; this makes their experience of the most common ILS modules-circulation, reserves, and acquisitions-by definition more complicated.The study of music continues to rely on the interrelated use of three distinct information formats-scores (the notated manifestation of a composer's or improviser's thought), recordings (realizations in sound, and sometimes video, of such compositions and improvisations), and books and journals (intellectual thought regarding such compositions and improvisations)-music libraries continue to require . . . collections that integrate [emphasis mine] these three information formats appropriately. 3Put a different way, "relatedness is a pervasive characteristic of music materials." 4 This is why FRBR's model of bibliographic relationships offers benefits that will first impact the music collection. 5At present, however, musical formats pose search and retrieval challenges for most ILS users, and the problem is certainly replicated with microforms and video recordings. The MARC codes distinguish between material formats, but they support only one category for sound recordings, lumping together CD, DVD audio, cassette tape, reel-toreel tape, and all other types. 6 This single "sound recording" definition is easily reflected in OPACs (such as those powered by Innovative Interfaces' Millennium and Ex Libris' Aleph 500) and union catalogs (such as WorldCat. org).7 However, the distinction between sound recording formats is embedded in subfields of the 007 field, which presently cannot be indexed by many library automation systems because the subfields are not adjacent.An even more central challenge derives from the fact that music sound recordings-such as journals and essay c...
