ALCTS webinar: Current Developments in Name Authorities

Date: Wednesday, November 28, 2018

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



Description:

The webinar will provide an overview of current developments in name
authorities. Many of these themes were discussed at the recent IMLS
Shareable Local Name Authorities National Forum, which considered the
emerging decentralized identity management environment and how it is
influencing the practices of stakeholders including the library cataloging
community and other data and service providers. The webinar will provide an
update on related work in the PCC that is taking library authority practice
in this direction.

The webinar will also cover the SLNA Reference Model, which was one of the
outputs of the forum. It was created to provide a framework for
understanding the relationships among the entities managing and sharing
authority data in a global ecosystem. The SLNA Reference Model is an
extension of Open Archival Information System (OAIS) reference model,
reusing a majority of the OAIS concepts such as information packages, and
functional entities such as Ingest, Access, Data Management, Data Storage,
Administration, and Planning. The Authority Management (AuM) functional
entity is specific to the SLNA reference model and illustrates the
functions and services for managing and sharing name authorities among
multiple authority information systems.

Learning outcomes:

The webinar will give participants an overview of current trends in library
authority control, a framework for understanding how they fit into broader
trends in identity management, and suggest some directions for how library
authority practice can evolve to fit this environment.

Who should attend?

Catalogers and other metadata practitioners engaged in name identity work

Libraries and has been working with various library systems including ILS,

Engineering principle and practice to the challenge of entity
disambiguation and dissemination among various independent systems within
the research ecosystem.
