Enriching Library Metadata with APIs
Mak, Lucas
2018 - English
Given the ever-dwindling resources assigned to metadata creation, individual libraries are hard-pressed to create and maintain high quality traditional metadata across-the-board, let alone to prepare and transform legacy data into linked data. Coming up with no additional support by looking inside, one should look outside for resources that can help mitigate the situation. Nowadays, libraries no longer monopolize metadata creation. More and more special domain communities have set up Wikipedia-like crowd-sourced portals to serve information needs of their members. At the same time, there are international initiatives in the library community to set up data stores for linked data sets. Can the library tap into these rich information resources, in an efficient way, to enrich library metadata in the traditional way as well as prepare the legacy data for the big migration? This presentation will discuss how Michigan State University Libraries is able to harvest selected metadata from various library and non-library community based portals through APIs (Application Programming Interface) in a batch and automated fashion to enrich existing metadata of a popular music collection and enhance them with URIs for linked data conversion down the road.

The datahub
Vandermaesen, Matthias
2018 - English
The Flemish Museums for Fine and Contemporary Art offer an overview of the art production in the Southern Netherlands and Belgium form the Middle Ages to the Twenty-First Century. The Flemish Art Collection is a non-profit organisation tasked with promoting the collection to an international and diverse audience. Delivery of knowledge and expertise curated by the museums is a big challenge. Blending cultural object records stored accross various databases and commercial registration systems is non-trivial and prevents opening up the collections across the walls of the museums. In 2015, the Flemish Art Collection started the Datahub Project. Over the past years, a modern metadata aggregation platform was built, leveraging open source technologies and open standards. This presentation will highlight the architecture of this platform, and the design process. The Datahub platform is a service oriented architecture and consists of three major components. The core is a home grown, reusable metadata aggregator called The Datahub. This web-application is build with the Symfony framework. Metadata records are ingested via a RESTful API, stored in a MongoDB database and disseminated via an OAI-PMH endpoint. User friendly discovery of metadata is covered via Project Blacklight and geared towards museal workers as well as the general public. Finally, we repurposed the Catmandu framework for flexible and extensible setup of ETL pipelines between the registration systems of the data providers, the Datahub and the discovery interface. Since we are exchanging information about cultural heritage objects, we use the LIDO XML exchange format designed and developed by ICOM. The project taught us several valuable lessons. What are the benefits of looking across the borders of your own domain? What are key success factors? How do you identify pitfalls? But it also raises a set of new questions. How do we go from here? What’s next? The tools and the codebase are freely available under a GPLv3 license and are actively documented and maintained on Github.

Pushing SKOS
Ostrowski, Felix; Pohl, Adrian
2018 - English
This presentation introduces the simple knowledge organization hub (skohub), a proof of concept web service that allows to do just that based on current web standards. Given a SKOS vocubulary, the service publishes it on the web, providing RDF serializations along with a human-readable HTML front end. For each topic described in the vocabulary, a Linked Data Notifications inbox is provided, making it possible to publish and receive notifications about resources related to that topic. Finally, WebSub enables subscriptions for push notifications about resources matching a topic.

A Machine for Automatic Subject Indexing Using ToC
Pokorný, Jan
2018 - English
The technology developed in the National Library of Technology can extract a document’s table of content (TOC), generate relevant keywords, and suggest terms for various classification schemas (UDC, DDC, LCC, Conspectus). It can fully or substantially automate the process of generating subject access, unite it across libraries, and significantly increase accuracy and relevancy compared to subject assignments by non-specialist catalogers. Such increased quality in subject access terms is often seen in the superior subject facets generated by discovery systems and library OPAC advanced search forms.

Fundamentals
Koch, Ondřej
2018 - English
Let’s take a look at the IT infrastructure of this library and talk about IT architecture in general with practical examples right here where we stand (or sit). How do we do things? How do we solve security issues? What about identities? Do we need a cloud and what kind of cloud? How do we manage our network and computing resources? Let’s look at those „simple and boring“ things like storage, compute and network, let’s talk about digital signage and AV stuff in here. Why? Because it matters, these are the fundamentals of every library as a building, as a place to study and as a place where data is properly and logically stored so that everyone can get meaningful information out of it.

Moving from Find & Get and Towards Use & Understanding
Morgan Lease, Eric
2018 - English
Considering the ubiquitous nature of networked computers, the traditional role of libraries is not as critical as it used to be. In other words, the time-honored library activities of collection, organization, preservation, and dissemination of books & journals is quickly being supplanted by the ever-present Google search. Thus, the problem to solve is less about finding & getting information but rather about using & understanding the information found. We continue to drink from the proverbial firehose. This does not foretell the demise of libraries nor librarians. Instead, it represents an opportunity to provide enhanced and value-added services above and beyond our collections. These services can be articulated as action statements such as but not limited to: analyze; annotate; cite; cluster & classify; compare & contrast; confirm; count & tabulate words, phrases, and ideas; delete; discuss, evaluate; find opposite; find similar; graph & visualize; learn from; plot on a map; plot on a timeline; purchase, rate; read at a distance; read closely; read at scale; review; save; share; summarize; tag; trace idea; transform; etc. This presentation elaborates upon these ideas with an emphasis on the possibilities of natural language processing & text mining in libraries.

The ARCLib Project
Růžička, Michal
2018 - English
The talk informs about the Czech ARCLib project. One of the main goals of the project is the development of an open-source solution for a bit-level and logical preservation of digital documents, respecting the national and international standards as well as the needs of all types of libraries in the Czech Republic. The mission of the ARCLib project lies, among others, in creating a solution that will allow institutions to implement all of the OAIS functional modules and entities, considering institutions’ information model. The architecture is planned as open and modular and the final product will be able to ingest, validate and store data from a majority of software products used for creating, disseminating and archiving libraries’ digital and digitised data in the Czech Republic.

Rethinking the IT system architecture
Berthold, Henrike
2018 - English
The Saxon State and University Library in Dresden (SLUB) is the university library of Dresden University of Technology (TUD) and the state library of Saxony with a history starting in1556. Because of these two roles, it is an independent research institution with a range of tasks. They include services for TUD, such as an open access repository, support for specific research communities, collection and long-term preservation of digital documents published in Saxony, and internal production and processing workflows. In the presentation I will present the target IT infrastructure, the background of some design decisions, the challenges we have identified and the projects we currently run to develop our infrastructure towards the target one.

Nové databáze nejen pro milovníky hudby
Horová, Iva; Šír, Filip
2018 - Czech
Příspěvek se zaměřuje na současnost a plány v oblasti budování databází zvukových dokumentů, které jsou důležitým informačním zdrojem nejen pro hudebníky a muzikology, ale také pro studium a výzkum v oborech historie, divadlo, filmová hudba, orální historie, historie nahrávání zvuku a zvukového průmyslu atd. V první řadě přináší informace o nové etapě Virtuální národní fonotéky, která změnila svého provozovatele a po dlouhé době stagnace nastává doba jejího nového rozvoje. Druhým velmi zajímavým zdrojem je mezinárodní databáze diskografií, budovaná v gesci Diskografické komise IASA. Tento velkolepý projekt byl zahájen v roce 2016 díky aktivitě a úzké spolupráci autora příspěvku (předseda Diskografické komise) a Petera Laurence z Harvard University. Dále příspěvek představí dva plánované výstupy, které vzniknou v rámci projektu NAKI II - Nový fonograf Národního muzea. Prvním z nich je Národní diskografická databáze, druhým pak specializovaný portál. Jeho úkolem bude zpřístupňovat a přibližovat široké veřejnosti zajímavosti ze sbírek gramofonových desek NM. The paper describes the present and plans in the field of creating sound documents databases. These e-sources brings important informations not for musicologist and musicians only, but it is study and research support for history, theatre, film music, oral history, voice recording, sound industry etc. As a first we will speak about the Virtual national phonotheque, which is at the stage of significant change. After period of longer stagnation new renaissance is coming. The second very interesting source is an international database Bibliography of Discographies. This amazing project started in 2016 and arises after patronage of Discography Committee of IASA thanks to Filip Šír (the chair of the DC) and Peter Laurence from Harvard University - Library Eda Kuhna. Further information will bring about two planned outputs to be come up in the frame of NAKI II project New Phonograph in National Museum in Prague. The first one is the National discographic database, the second one a specialised sound portal.

In Out, In Out, And Shake It All About
Stevenson, Jane
2018 - English
The Archives Hub blends data. We bring together descriptions of archives, archival resources and repositories in a way that enables us to present an effective and valuable service through our website. We spent two years creating an entirely new system that was built upon the principle of bringing in data from different sources and providing that data for different purposes. I would like to give some insights from our experience of doing this, and consider whether we have created something innovative and with inherent potential for future development. I will talk about the architecture that we wanted to create, the workflow that we believed to be essential to our aims, and the challenges that we faced in being able to create a blend of data that could be successfully deblended in different ways. It required a great deal of thought and planning in terms of what we wanted to achieve, how we should process the data to fulfil those aims, and how we would work with data contributors, who were essential to our success. Over a year after going live with the new service, have we achieved our aim of more consistent, standardised data, and have we provided the realistic potential for the data to be re-used? I will give examples of where I think we have fulfilled our aims and where we still have issues. I will argue that the ability to blend/deblend relies upon systems and technology, but it also relies upon people and their habits, expectations, understanding and ambitions.
