“…The year 2018 revealed five linked data projects in the literature review. Boehr and Bushman [151] reported on the National Library of Medicine’s project to add Medical Subject Headings RDF Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) to its bibliographic and authority records. Mi and Pollock [152] presented a linked data project implemented by the University of South Florida Libraries to a collection of cultural heritage and three-dimensional (3D) digital models.…”

The Semantic Web in general and the Linked Open Data Initiative, in particular, are a growing movement for organisations to make their existing data available in a machine-readable format. Thus, institutions are highly encouraged to publish, share and interlink their data publicly. The more data are opened on the Web (Open Data), the more integrated sets of data will be connected in the Semantic Web (Linked Open Data). Within this context, libraries can complement their data by linking it to other, external data sources. The purpose of this article is to identify papers that refer to linked data in libraries, emphasising the ways that linked data empower libraries to put their knowledge in the context of the open-world, thus enhancing semantic technology innovations. The study considered papers published between 2008 and 2019 in English and presents the collected literature by grouping it according to the topic each paper refers to. The results show that libraries are facing a period of continuing change which present several challenges and indicate that they are moving towards developing new practices, policies and services.

“…The library community is working to improve the Linked Data functionality of existing MARC 21 bibliographic records by enriching them with URIs, including subject metadata fields. 10 Recent publications include reports of converting the Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) MARC 21 records to BIBFRAME, comparative evaluations of Linked Data ontologies and data models as they apply to MARC, and discussion of the future of authority control in libraries in the Linked Data environment. 11 Zeng and Mayr shared results of their review of how existing knowledge organization systems used in library metadata (including subject controlled vocabularies) can transition to become Linked Open Data.…”

This paper presents results of the examination of subject representation in the most recently created library metadata records. The bibliographic records were collected from the WorldCat global database. The records were created in 2020 according to the latest version of Resource Description and Access (RDA) and MARC 21Format for Bibliographic Data. A purposive sample of the records with the widest reach—as expressed in the highest number of holdings and the highest level of editing made by multiple institutions—was selected for in-depth content analysis. The level and patterns of application were analyzed for all subject representation data elements (record fields and subfields), specifically for those that were Linked-Data-enabling. The study examined the level and patterns of application of subject controlled vocabularies. Co-occurrences between various subject representation data elements and between subject controlled vocabularies within the records were explored.

“…This also includes 4 subfields 75% of which were added to support Linked Data functionality: $g Miscellaneous information (added in 2014), $0 Authority record control number or standard number (added in 2007, redefined in 2010 to allow for URI as a data value), $1 Real World Object URI (added in 2017), $4 Relationship (added in 2005 as Relator code, renamed and redescribed in 2017 for recording of relationship URIs). In the years after official transition to RDA, the library cataloging community has been encouraged to actively use these subfields (e.g., Shieh & Reese, 2015; Boehr & Bushman, 2018).…”

Study reported in this paper analyzed over twenty thousand machine-readable library metadata records in MARC 21 bibliographic format that are based on Resource Description and Access (RDA) standard. The focus of this analysis is on change in subject metadata-data elements designed for representing the aboutness of information objectsover a 6-year period between 2014 and 2020. The analyzed dataset is the entire population of the records representing English-language video recordings in DVD format in WorldCat database as of one year after official transition to RDA data content standard in library metadata creation. Analysis of metadata representing audiovisual materials is needed as audiovisual metadata practices tend to differ from those for other materials due to high occurrence of unique resources. The study includes quantitative and qualitative analyses into the change in the application of data elements (fields and subfields) over time and categorizes the observed change.
