with Internet
• Benefits of Semantic Web and linked data technologies for adjusting current models
• Maximum re-use of library metadata so users exposed to more quality metadata in innovative ways
Issues, continued
• Navigate relationships among entities in library catalogs and the broader Internet
• Displays of metadata beyond MARC-based
• Identify risks of action and inaction, assess acceptable pace of change
• Plan for bringing existing metadata into new bibliographic systems
The Process• Fully collaborative• Consult
