Description: A Shared Approach to BIBFRAME Implementation: SHARE-Virtual
Discovery Environment

This session will give an overview of the SVDE project and its history,
along with the ongoing work of the Transformation Council. A particular
focus will be on the development of BIBFRAME through SVDE in relation to
other projects, such as initiatives at LC, LD4P, and the PCC.

The SHARE Virtual Discovery Environment (SVDE) project, launched by
Casalini Libri in 2017, is a community driven, vendor-supported initiative
to establish an effective working environment for the use of linked data by
libraries within a global context with the additional goal to
‘future-proof” descriptive metadata. The vendor-partners, Casalini Libri
and @Cult, have created complex processes which enriches and converts MARC
library data to BIBFRAME. The converted data are then utilized in a virtual
discovery environment based upon the three-layered structure of the
BIBFRAME data model (www.share-vde.org). Enriched MARC data along with
BIBFRAME triples are returned to each library for local analysis and
experimentation.

SVDE has a flexible approach to implementation through incremental change.
This development continues to be guided by the 21 member libraries and
community experts through the SVDE Transformation Council, and associated
subcommittees. The SVDE Transformation Council began work in August 2018 to
evaluate the MARC to BIBFRAME conversion from Phase II of the the project.
The Transformation Council began by reviewing several reports that member
libraries created in response to local data conversion review. We based our
initial feedback on these documents to articulate how the conversion
process meets our expectations and needs. Looking for commonalities among
pain points lead us to develop methods to identify, test, and make
recommendations for improvement of the conversion process. The first set of
recommendations were ready for implementation in early 2019 and have been
incorporated in the current conversion specifications, but work is ongoing
to refine these specifications and continue improving processes.
