With linked open data, the information in the library catalogue can be more easily understood by the rest of the web.

The National Library of Swseden (KB) has introduced a new Libris catalog, utilizing Bibframe 2.0 and linked open data. This format enhances the web’s understanding of library collections, allowing for easier access and highlighting of rich information. As the first national library to switch to Bibframe 2.0, Libris will provide efficient cataloguing and a comprehensive view of library collections.
