ALCTS webinar: Linked Data Description of Cartographic Resources

Date: Wednesday, May 2, 2018

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.

This is the sixth session of a six-part series.  View the other sessions in

This series of six webinars builds on the introductory series From MARC to
BIBFRAME: Linked Data on the Ground
<http://www.ala.org/alcts/confevents/upcoming/webinar/MARCBIBFRAME>, which
was presented in fall 2016 and is now available free of charge. It
describes the continuing BIBFRAME initiatives taking place at the Library
of Congress as well as within the broader information community.



Description: This webinar will provide an overview of the work and output
of the Linked Data for Production-Cartographic Materials (LD4P-CM) project
<https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/LD4P/Cartographic+Extension>, including
an introduction to the Geospatial and Cartographic Materials Ontology
(GCRO), developed by the LD4P-CM project, which can be used along with
other Linked Open Data (LOD) vocabularies to extend the current BIBFRAME
2.0 and bibliotek-o models for the description of geospatial and
cartographic resources.

The Linked Data for Production (LD4P) project is a multi-institutional
effort that is exploring the use of the Library of Congress’ Bibliographic
Framework Initiative (BIBFRAME) as a means to semantically annotate library
metadata using Linked Open Data (LOD) principles.

The LD4P Cartographic Materials subproject is focused both on evaluating
the existing BIBFRAME 2.0 ontology and extending the model in order to
better support the description of geospatial and cartographic resources in
LOD environments.


Learning outcomes:

During this webinar, attendees will learn:

   -

   about the Linked Data for Libraries Cartographic Materials (LD4P-CM)
   project, including it's background, goals, and outcomes; and
   -

   how the Geospatial and Cartographic Resources Ontology (GCRO), developed
   by the LD4P-CM project, can be used to extend the BIBFRAME 2.0 and
   bibliotek-o models for the description of geospatial and cartographic
   resources.


Who should attend? Anyone interested learning how Linked Open Data (LOD)
and semantic web ontologies (BIBFRAME and bibliotek-o) can be used and
extended to describe library geospatial and cartographic resources
including printed maps, atlases, digital geospatial datasets.

Presenter:

Marc McGee, Geospatial Metadata Librarian, Harvard Library Information and
Technical Services, is coordinator for the Linked Data for Production
Cartographic Materials project. Marc has over 13 years of experience
cataloging geospatial resources including rare, paper cartographic
materials in the Harvard Map Collection and digital geospatial datasets for
the Harvard Geospatial Library.
