Library Ontology

2011-05-16T19:42:08Z

Acka47: Added BibS to /* Existing library registries */

= Library Ontology Draft =
Editor: ''Jakob Voß'' (but everybody feel free to modify this page, it's a wiki!)

The '''Library Ontology''' is a proposed RDFS/OWL ontology to describe information about libraries in RDF. Up to now it is drafted in an open planning phase. There are many [[#Relevant_formats_and_models|formats and some ontologies]] for bibliographic data, addresses, and places which could be reused (instead of reinventing the wheel). Information about libraries is collected in several [[#Existing_library_registries|library registries]] which could be mapped to the Library Ontology.

''No background needed but fluent in RDF/Turtle syntax? Then goto [[Library Ontology Concepts]]!''

__TOC__
== Purpose ==
The purpose of the Library Ontology can best be described by examples and use cases. For example how do you state and express (in RDF) ...

* that something is a library?
* that some library building belongs to a given library institution?
* opening times in RDF?
* the URL of the OPAC of a library?
* which fees are bound to the use of the library (library card, reminder charges etc.)?
* that a given collection is held by one library?
* that a given collection is owned by someone?
* the type of a library (if "type" is a usefull concept at all)?
* ...

''please add more use-cases when you stumble upon!''

Some information can be expressed by existing Ontologies like vCard, but surely there are concepts and relationships which only make sense in context of libraries. The Library Ontology should define this RDFS/OWL classes and properties and collect existing classes and properties to be used for the description of libraries.

== Concepts ==
The basic concepts of the Library Ontology are collected at the page '''[[Library Ontology Concepts]]'''.

== Existing library registries ==
The [http://biblstandard.dk/isil/ International ISIL Agency] maintains a registry of library registries which act as local ISIL authorities.

Library Ontology

2010-06-24T13:31:21Z

Acka47: /* Relevant formats and models */ Added DC Collections Application Profile & NKS-MDR Service Application Profiles

= Library Ontology Draft =
Editor: ''Jakob Voß'' (but everybody feel free to modify this page, it's a wiki!)

The '''Library Ontology''' is a proposed RDFS/OWL ontology to describe information about libraries in RDF. Up to now it is drafted in an open planning phase. There are many [[#Relevant_formats_and_models|formats and some ontologies]] for bibliographic data, addresses, and places which could be reused (instead of reinventing the wheel). Information about libraries is collected in several [[#Existing_library_registries|library registries]] which could be mapped to the Library Ontology.

''No background needed but fluent in RDF/Turtle syntax? Then goto [[Library Ontology Concepts]]!''

__TOC__
== Purpose ==
The purpose of the Library Ontology can best be described by examples and use cases. For example how do you state and express (in RDF) ...

* that something is a library?
* that some library building belongs to a given library institution?
* opening times in RDF?
* the URL of the OPAC of a library?
* which fees are bound to the use of the library (library card, reminder charges etc.)?
* that a given collection is held by one library?
* that a given collection is owned by someone?
* the type of a library (if "type" is a usefull concept at all)?
* ...

''please add more use-cases when you stumble upon!''

Some information can be expressed by existing Ontologies like vCard, but surely there are concepts and relationships which only make sense in context of libraries. The Library Ontology should define this RDFS/OWL classes and properties and collect existing classes and properties to be used for the description of libraries.

== Concepts ==
The basic concepts of the Library Ontology are collected at the page '''[[Library Ontology Concepts]]'''.

== Existing library registries ==
The [http://biblstandard.dk/isil/ International ISIL Agency] maintains a registry of library registries which act as local ISIL authorities.

OCLC Policy Change

2010-06-23T09:11:54Z

Acka47: Added translation to /* Comments on WorldCat Rights and Responsibilities for the OCLC Cooperative */

== Background ==
On 5-Nov-2008, [[OCLC]] announced the Policy for Use and Transfer of [[WorldCat]]® Records to replace the Guidelines for the Use and Transfer of OCLC-Derived Records. The goals of the policy, as described by OCLC, were "to modernize record use and transfer practices for application on the Web, foster new uses of WorldCat data that benefit members and clarify data sharing rights and restrictions." This new policy generated considerable discussion in the library community, including two petitions, several trade publication articles, and over 80 blog posts with related comments.

On 13-Jan-2009, OCLC announced a [http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/catalog/policy/board/default.htm Review Board of Shared Data Creation and Stewardship] with a charge to: consult with librarians and member representatives as appropriate; review reports, letters and comments including blog and listserv messages from the global library community regarding the revised Policy; and recommend principles of shared data creation and changes in the Policy for Use and Transfer of WorldCat Records that will preserve the community around WorldCat infrastructure and services, and strengthen libraries. The Review Board submitted its [http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/catalog/FinalReport_ReviewBoard.pdf final report] to OCLC on 22-Jun-2009 recommending that the proposed policy be withdrawn and a Record Use Policy Development Task Force be formed along with a "formal, transparent and well-managed process" to create a new policy. In a [http://www.oclc.org/news/releases/200939.htm news release] posted on 26-Jun-2009, OCLC accepted these recommendations.

On 7-April-2010, the Review Board of Shared Data Curation and Stewardship posted their draft policy for a period of review and comment (see link below).

This page documents the discussion of members of the library community surrounding the revision of the Guidelines and creation of the Policy. It can be edited by anyone who has registered for an account on the Code4Lib wiki. [[Special:Userlogin|Registration]] on the Code4Lib wiki is open to anyone with an e-mail address.

== Petitions ==

On November 13, 2008, a petition called [http://watchdog.net/c/stop-oclc Stop the OCLC powergrab!] was started by Aaron Swartz to repeal the new policy. Background in his blog post, [http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/oclcscam Stealing Your Library: The OCLC Powergrab].

On December 1, 2008, Elaine Sanchez created a new [http://www.petitiononline.com/oclc/petition.html petition] with more depth and specificity. The petition calls for OCLC to vacate the new policy, create a more open process for revising the 1987 guidelines, and assert that the records are the property of the respective contributing members. Ms. Sanchez [http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3cA5EA7312DD1822479490004ED396177E96E8D2D455%40BOBCATMAIL4.matrix.txstate.edu%3e posted an announcement about it] on the Autocat mailing list.

== Comments on Comments ==

Sometimes the best insight comes in the comments added to blog postings and other stories. [http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=jOpatQmu3RGENlDTBRNMsA This Yahoo! Pipe] (also available as an [http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=jOpatQmu3RGENlDTBRNMsA&_render=rss RSS feed]) is a concatenation of comments from the postings and stories listed on this page -- with the exception of those marked "(NC)" because of use of software that doesn't support comment feeds.

OCLC Policy Change

2010-06-23T09:08:03Z

Acka47: Added Blogpost to "Comments on WorldCat Rights and Responsibilities for the OCLC Cooperative"

== Background ==
On 5-Nov-2008, [[OCLC]] announced the Policy for Use and Transfer of [[WorldCat]]® Records to replace the Guidelines for the Use and Transfer of OCLC-Derived Records. The goals of the policy, as described by OCLC, were "to modernize record use and transfer practices for application on the Web, foster new uses of WorldCat data that benefit members and clarify data sharing rights and restrictions." This new policy generated considerable discussion in the library community, including two petitions, several trade publication articles, and over 80 blog posts with related comments.

On 13-Jan-2009, OCLC announced a [http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/catalog/policy/board/default.htm Review Board of Shared Data Creation and Stewardship] with a charge to: consult with librarians and member representatives as appropriate; review reports, letters and comments including blog and listserv messages from the global library community regarding the revised Policy; and recommend principles of shared data creation and changes in the Policy for Use and Transfer of WorldCat Records that will preserve the community around WorldCat infrastructure and services, and strengthen libraries. The Review Board submitted its [http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/catalog/FinalReport_ReviewBoard.pdf final report] to OCLC on 22-Jun-2009 recommending that the proposed policy be withdrawn and a Record Use Policy Development Task Force be formed along with a "formal, transparent and well-managed process" to create a new policy. In a [http://www.oclc.org/news/releases/200939.htm news release] posted on 26-Jun-2009, OCLC accepted these recommendations.

On 7-April-2010, the Review Board of Shared Data Curation and Stewardship posted their draft policy for a period of review and comment (see link below).

This page documents the discussion of members of the library community surrounding the revision of the Guidelines and creation of the Policy. It can be edited by anyone who has registered for an account on the Code4Lib wiki. [[Special:Userlogin|Registration]] on the Code4Lib wiki is open to anyone with an e-mail address.

== Petitions ==

On November 13, 2008, a petition called [http://watchdog.net/c/stop-oclc Stop the OCLC powergrab!] was started by Aaron Swartz to repeal the new policy. Background in his blog post, [http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/oclcscam Stealing Your Library: The OCLC Powergrab].

On December 1, 2008, Elaine Sanchez created a new [http://www.petitiononline.com/oclc/petition.html petition] with more depth and specificity. The petition calls for OCLC to vacate the new policy, create a more open process for revising the 1987 guidelines, and assert that the records are the property of the respective contributing members. Ms. Sanchez [http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3cA5EA7312DD1822479490004ED396177E96E8D2D455%40BOBCATMAIL4.matrix.txstate.edu%3e posted an announcement about it] on the Autocat mailing list.

Library Ontology

2010-01-03T13:14:55Z

Acka47:

= Library Ontology Draft =
Editor: ''Jakob Voß'' (but everybody feel free to modify this page, it's a wiki!)

The '''Library Ontology''' is a proposed RDFS/OWL ontology to describe information about libraries in RDF. Up to now it is drafted in an open planning phase. There are many [[#Relevant_formats_and_models|formats and some ontologies]] for bibliographic data, addresses, and places which could be reused (instead of reinventing the wheel). Information about libraries is collected in several [[#Existing_library_registries|library registries]] which could be mapped to the Library Ontology.

''No background needed but fluent in RDF/Turtle syntax? Then goto [[Library Ontology Concepts]]!''

__TOC__
== Purpose ==
The purpose of the Library Ontology can best be described by examples and use cases. For example how do you state and express (in RDF) ...

* that something is a library?
* that some library building belongs to a given library institution?
* opening times in RDF?
* the URL of the OPAC of a library?
* which fees are bound to the use of the library (library card, reminder charges etc.)?
* that a given collection is held by one library?
* that a given collection is owned by someone?
* the type of a library (if "type" is a usefull concept at all)?
* ...

''please add more use-cases when you stumble upon!''

Some information can be expressed by existing Ontologies like vCard, but surely there are concepts and relationships which only make sense in context of libraries. The Library Ontology should define this RDFS/OWL classes and properties and collect existing classes and properties to be used for the description of libraries.

== Concepts ==
The basic concepts of the Library Ontology are collected at the page '''[[Library Ontology Concepts]]'''.

== Existing library registries ==
The [http://biblstandard.dk/isil/ International ISIL Agency] maintains a registry of library registries which act as local ISIL authorities.

OCLC Policy Change

2009-12-11T19:47:18Z

Acka47:

== Background ==
On 5-Nov-2008, [[OCLC]] announced the Policy for Use and Transfer of [[WorldCat]]® Records to replace the Guidelines for the Use and Transfer of OCLC-Derived Records. The goals of the policy, as described by OCLC, were "to modernize record use and transfer practices for application on the Web, foster new uses of WorldCat data that benefit members and clarify data sharing rights and restrictions." This new policy generated considerable discussion in the library community, including two petitions, several trade publication articles, and over 80 blog posts with related comments.

On 13-Jan-2009, OCLC announced a [http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/catalog/policy/board/default.htm Review Board of Shared Data Creation and Stewardship] with a charge to: consult with librarians and member representatives as appropriate; review reports, letters and comments including blog and listserv messages from the global library community regarding the revised Policy; and recommend principles of shared data creation and changes in the Policy for Use and Transfer of WorldCat Records that will preserve the community around WorldCat infrastructure and services, and strengthen libraries. The Review Board submitted its [http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/catalog/FinalReport_ReviewBoard.pdf final report] to OCLC on 22-Jun-2009 recommending that the proposed policy be withdrawn and a Record Use Policy Development Task Force be formed along with a "formal, transparent and well-managed process" to create a new policy. In a [http://www.oclc.org/news/releases/200939.htm news release] posted on 26-Jun-2009, OCLC accepted these recommendations.

This page documents the discussion of members of the library community surrounding the revision of the Guidelines and creation of the Policy. It can be edited by anyone who has registered for an account on the Code4Lib wiki. [[Special:Userlogin|Registration]] on the Code4Lib wiki is open to anyone with an e-mail address.

== Petitions ==

On November 13, 2008, a petition called [http://watchdog.net/c/stop-oclc Stop the OCLC powergrab!] was started by Aaron Swartz to repeal the new policy. Background in his blog post, [http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/oclcscam Stealing Your Library: The OCLC Powergrab].

On December 1, 2008, Elaine Sanchez created a new [http://www.petitiononline.com/oclc/petition.html petition] with more depth and specificity. The petition calls for OCLC to vacate the new policy, create a more open process for revising the 1987 guidelines, and assert that the records are the property of the respective contributing members. Ms. Sanchez [http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3cA5EA7312DD1822479490004ED396177E96E8D2D455%40BOBCATMAIL4.matrix.txstate.edu%3e posted an announcement about it] on the Autocat mailing list.
