Expected Outcomes for this Webinar

In this webinar we will be using the Python programming language to manipulate MARC21 and MARCXML into BIBFRAME, Dublin Core, and Schema.org graphs made-up of RDF triples in order to expose this linked data in the form of RDF xml, RDF N-triples, HTML5 RDFa, HTML5 microdata, and JSON Linked Data.

Webinar iPython Notebook

We will be using a web-based interactive computational environment, IPython notebook. This environment is becoming more popular among "big data" and other scientists and engineers building tools around large data-sets. Today we will be using these Python modules:

Schemas

• Schema.org with extension efforts by Schema Bib Extend Community Group
• Dublin Core Metadata Initiative
• BIBFRAME
• MODS (Metadata Object Description Schema)

Formats

  • Authority data

Structured Data

• RDF (Resource Description Framework)
  • RDF XML
  • RDF N-triples
