Session 114 – Sharing is Caring – Cataloguing (SI)

An important role for libraries is to further the sharing and exchange of data within and outside its sector. In the cataloguing world, this means the creation and development of new data models, where entity description gives better opportunities to cluster resources and reuse metadata, ultimately serving the user experience. It can also mean active work with linked data, promoting open data licensing and open source solutions. Metadata is a valuable commodity. To enable its sharing and reuse is both an act of solidarity and a way to make most of our investment. Four representatives from European national libraries and an academic libraries network -the Bibliographic Agency for Higher Education (ABES) will present their projects.
