Video: BIBFRAME 2.0, the Library of Congress Pilot & Next Steps
“The video embedded below was recorded at the Library of Congress on June 12, 2018 and posted online last week.
Description
Beacher Wiggins highlighted the goals and accomplishments of the Library of Congress’ BIBFRAME 2.0 pilot to date and gave an overview of the next steps. Nate Trail discussed the development of the BIBFRAME database, a complete base file that includes all the bibliographic records from Voyager. Catalogers use the bibliographic data in combination with authority data from id.loc.gov to describe resources for the BIBFRAME 2.0 pilot.
Trail demonstrated features of the BIBFRAME database interface including end-user search capability, use of linked data queries to highlight relationships between resources and how the database interacts with data entered through the BIBFRAME editor. Jodi Williamschen and Les Hawkins discussed profiles developed for the BIBFRAME editor and illustrated workflows such as creation of a new work and instance, adding instance descriptions to an existing work, updating of an initial bibliographic control (IBC) description and creating new expressions relating to an existing work.
