Common ground: Exploring compatibilities between the linked data models of the Library of Congress and OCLC


 
Godby, Carol Jean and Dennenberg Ray, Common ground: exploring compatibilities between the linked data models of the Library of Congress and OCLC, January 2015.

This white paper, jointly issued by the Library of Congress and OCLC Research, documents the areas of alignment and difference between OCLC's Schema.org project and the Library of Congress' BIBFRAME initiative. The paper concludes with some recommendations for closer alignment of the two linked data projects.

The paper has been widely recommended and provides a worthwhile perspective as we think about future directions for our bibliographic data
