2020-July-15 Linked Data at the National Library of Mexico (Eder Ávila Barrientos)

2020 LD4 Conference, Planning for Implementation track
The National Library of Mexico (BNM) safeguards, organizes, preserves and provides access to Mexican bibliographic and documentary heritage. Nautilo is the BNM online catalog, which contains more than one million bibliographic records generated using the Resource Description and Access (RDA) standard, which is based on the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) conceptual model, which emphasizes establishment of relationships between bibliographic data. The Nautilus catalog contains a wealth of data, represented in its records. By integrating the principles of Linked Data and FRBR, it is intended to propose a model for establishing bibliographic relationships between data available in this catalog, by means of establishment of internal and external links. On the other hand, in the last decade, worldwide national libraries have shown a wide interest Linked Data application in their search and retrieval information tools. Following this trend, it is proposed to develop a project for implementation of linked data in Nautilo for allowing, on one hand, to link their data to discover the works, manifestations and expressions that are related among them in it, and on the other one, to connect those data with other ones available in national library catalogs. The objective of this presentation is to give an overview of this project, as well as its impact on organizational changes, training of librarians, and the infrastructure necessary for its development. This will be a joint project between the BNM and the Institute of Research on Library Science and Information (IIBI) of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, however, the proposed model of linked data may be extend for it application in other Latin American national libraries.
