Finnish National Bibliography Fennica as Linked Data

Talk by Osma Suominen (National Library of Finland)
Title: Finnish National Bibliography Fennica as Linked Data

Abstract:

The publishing of Linked Data supports other aspects of metadata development at the National Library. For some aspects of the Linked Data, we are relying on the RDA conversion of MARC records that was completed in early 2016. The work clustering methods, and their limitations, inform the discussions about potentially establishing a work authority, which is a prerequisite for real RDA cataloguing.

This presentation will discuss lessons learned during the publishing process, including the selection and design of the data model, the construction of the conversion pipeline using pre-existing tools, the methods used for work clustering, reconciliation and linking as well as the infrastructure for publishing the data and keeping it up to date.
