“…Studies have been conducted to identify the benefits that the SW may provide to the library and cultural heritage environment. According to Marden et al (2013) (Marden et al, 2013;Ryan et al, 2015). In addition, it enables innovative library discovery systems, as well as creative web applications based on library resources (OCLC, 2012;…”

Purpose-To determine how information professionals in Scotland and in European national libraries perceive linked data as well as if and how they are implementing it. Design/methodology/approach-The authors applied four data collection techniques: a literature review, semi-structured interviews (n=15), online resources analysis (n=26), and an online survey (n=113). They used constant comparative analysis to identify perceived benefits and challenges of linked data implementation, reasons behind adoption or non-adoption of linked data and the issues hindering its implementation in libraries. Findings-Some projects demonstrate linked data's potential to augment the visibility and discoverability of library data, alongside with overcoming linguistic barriers, and supporting interoperability. However, a strong need remains to demonstrate the Semantic Web's potential within libraries. Participants identified lack of expertise and lack of resources/time/staff as implementation barriers. Several other issues remain unsolved, such as licensing constraints, as well as difficulties with obtaining management buy-in for linked data initiatives, even where open data is government-mandated. Practical implications-Information professionals and vendors should collaborate to develop tools for implementation. Advocacy through disseminating and reviewing successful implementations can help to solve practical difficulties and to obtain management buy-in. Originality/value-This is the first known study to present a multinational, comprehensive picture of library linked data implementations and associated librarians' perceptions of linked data.

“…Os documentos impressos são elaborados para possibilitar a leitura linear de seus conteúdos. Críticas às limitações provocadas pela linearidade dos documentos impressos e dos próprios sistemas de organização a que eram condicionados esses documentos são a base das inquietações do clássico artigo de Bush (1945), intitulado As we may think. A respeito dessa linearidade o autor aponta que:…”

O papel das bibliotecas no Linked Data

Objetivo: As bibliotecas possuem um papel importante na organização de recursos informacionais, sendo pioneiras no desenvolvimento de formatos e padrões que garantem a representação e recuperação desses recursos, e tem constantemente se atualizado para acompanhar os avanços tecnológicos, como o estabelecimento do ambiente Web e do Linked Data, um conjunto de práticas para a interligação de dados na Web. Nesse sentido, partindo do objetivo de analisar como pode ocorrer a cooperação entre os dados da biblioteca e o Linked Data, questiona-se: como garantir o compartilhamento efetivo de dados ente as bibliotecas e demais fontes de informação disponíveis no contexto do Linked Data? Métodos: Pautou-se em levantamento bibliográfico realizado na Base de Dados em Ciência da Informação (BRAPCI) e no Portal de Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) e nos documentos oficiais do World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), responsável por acompanhar o desenvolvimento da Web e do Linked Data. Resultados: Identificou-se que que as bibliotecas podem atuar em duas vertentes principais, a de publicadora e a de consumidora de dados, que podem ser realizadas de maneira independente e exigem tomadas de decisão distintas. Discutiu-se um conjunto de recomendações que pode auxiliar em ambos os papeis levando a um compartilhamento efetivo dos dados. Conclusões: Conclui-se que o conjunto de recomendações discutido atua como um norteador para a realização do compartilhamento de dados entre a Web e demais fontes disponibilizadas no contexto do Linked Data, mas que para garantir a efetividade desse compartilhamento, a comunidade envolvida com o domínio bibliográfico precisa estabelecer seus próprios critérios para a seleção de fontes de informação em Linked Data.

Abstract:The emerging trends and technologies of surveying and mapping potentially enable local experts to contribute and share their local geographical knowledge of place names (toponyms). We can see the increasing numbers of toponyms in digital platforms, such as OpenStreetMap, Facebook Place Editor, Swarm Foursquare, and Google Local Guide. On the other hand, government agencies keep working to produce concise and complete gazetteers. Crowdsourced geographic information and citizen science approaches offer a new paradigm of toponym collection. This paper addresses issues in the advancing toponym practice. First, we systematically examined the current state of toponym collection and handling practice by multiple stakeholders, and we identified a recurring set of problems. Secondly, we developed a citizen science approach, based on a crowdsourcing level of participation, to collect toponyms. Thirdly, we examined the implementation in the context of an Indonesian case study. The results show that public participation in toponym collection is an approach with the potential to solve problems in toponym handling, such as limited human resources, accessibility, and completeness of toponym information. The lessons learnt include the knowledge that the success of this approach depends on the willingness of the government to advance their workflow, the degree of collaboration between stakeholders, and the presence of a communicative approach in introducing and sharing toponym guidelines with the community.Keywords: citizen science; volunteered geographic information (VGI); toponym; crowdsourced data collection; data quality Opportunities for New Approaches to Collect Place NamesPlace names (known as toponyms) are an indispensable component of our communication about geographic features or regions, both natural and man-made [1,2]. They serve many purposes, including the obvious need for unambiguous identification for navigation, but also for current territorial claims and managing a society's past (e.g., to compare the renaming of streets or even entire cities following a regime change) [3][4][5][6][7][8]. Toponyms frequently have deeper meanings, often involving complicated semantics related to language and history [9][10][11], but many toponyms also describe the features they name. Some example toponyms from Indonesia are derived from folklore tales (Mount Tangkubanperahu, Banyuwangi), historical names (Jakarta from Jayakarta), or names of persons that have been adjusted to the local language (Malioboro from General Malborough, or Sampur from Zandvoort) [12][13][14]. Other (natural) features can cross multiple linguistic regions, for example, the river "Danube" has several names: "Donau" in Germany and Austria, "Dunaj" in Slovakia, "Duna" in Hungary, "Dunav" in Croatia and Serbia, "Dunav" and " On the other hand, government agencies p working to produce concise and complete gazetteers. Crowdsourced geographic information d citizen science approaches offer a new paradigm of toponym collection. This paper addresses ues ...
