27.02.2017OCLC EMEA Berlin 2017: The Institution Identity - Provisioning Our Data for Greater Impact / Altenhöner

Who we are…

Five institutions united within the Foundation

Staatliche Museen zu Berlin

Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin

Geheimes Staatsarchiv

Preußischer Kulturbesitz

Ibero-Amerikanisches Institut

Staatliches Institut

für Musikforschung


Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation

museums, libraries, archives, and research institutes

collections with an universal approach showing the evolution of human culture from its beginnings to the present in Europe and on other continents

Continuous acquisition and cooperative research

largest employer in the cultural field (2,000 employees)

The state library was founded in 1661

The biggest research library in the German-speaking countries

more than 11 mio books (huge special collections (manuscripts, early books, music sheets, …), 25 mio items overall

focus on the humanities and social sciences, scientific literature in all languages, all times and all countries

Also a digital library, special attention for access to retrodigitised material


Promoting our identity and the identity of our collections

What we all want Institutional visibility (in general), prominance (locally, regional, global)

Dedicated allocation of trust & quality for our services, becoming a brand

Recognition of our services, acknowledgment in terms of ressources

One way to reach this: Provide your (open) data (metadata and digital objects) What does this mean, what should we do?

What are the limitations?

How can we measure success?


The SPK in a Digital World

From: Institutional paths

(with digital sidelines)

To: One SPK strategy

with a digital core

SPK


Data production and services in the SBB/SPK: Metadata, sharing, visibility I

Metadata production in SBB & SPK:

Many dedicated systems for different kind of material and departments

different access systems

Some aggregated stores with unified collections, metastore (but strong limits)

flat web syndication

Uncertainties around the legal situation

SBB: Metadata governance

Shared environment (with plenty of exceptions)

Clear rules for semantic enrichement of data (authority files)

No clearly mandated responsibility for metadata governance

Marketing of data and services

Separated and isolated view, PR-driven


Data production and services in the SBB/SPK: Metadata, sharing, visibility II

Metadata proliferation

Context sensitive for download of structured data (single units or small blocksof data), OAI – Interface for broader request

Data provision / sharing (GBV, Worldcat, DDB)

Linked Data Services e.g. ISIL

Accepted service

Usage rates?

To sum up:

Difficulties to measure (Download rates, registered users vs. open dataapproach)

What we can say: Minor use overall

Global visibility? Institutional promotion?


OAI-Interface - result set


ISIL – Linked Data Service


Reuse of Metadata

Big move to expose metadata – a common approach with many examples

DNB, BNF, KB of Sweden, OCLC (still experimental), …

LD4P, LD4L

BIBFRAME, Schema.org, Google's data- vocabulary.org… Advanced translationsets how bibliographic data can be shifted into the broader net

It‘s proven (?): We have

new ways to expose and distribute metadata

Extended options to connect data

Potentials for a new infrastructure platform

But: This is from specialists to specialists: „Semantic-Web-Community”

Low rate of reuse outside the community

Visibility of data, institutional promotion?

Only one (additional) way


Some interim results for SBB / SPK, orientation

Metadata production

Shift to aligned data schemas offering more options in order to facilitate theinteroperability of data

Entity based recording of objects

Shared environments

Community-based standard development, but in broader scope, e.g. provenance information

First steps for a semantic web standard-driven ecosystem

Metadata diffusion

Traditional way is not so bad and almost sufficient

Support for broader platforms

Open data – invisibility?

Change the expectation for success


Broader scope of visibility

Open data. It’s nearly impossible to claim for originality of data

We can’t measure the “success” of metadata provision

It’s more on sharing knowledge in the (extended) community and empowering the network

Our customers are asking for content


Visibility of data in the web


Extended visibility in the net


Another example from the SBB: OPAC


Another example from the SBB: Presentation


Second example I


Second example II


An example from the DDB I


An example from the DDB II


Results for SBB / SPK

Metadata! Openess, interoperability, capacity building

Lifting up the Metadata to the top of the list (Foundation)

Extension of functions w.r.t. content‒ Flexible PDF module

‒ Further formats for the full texts - such as TEI, mobi, ePub.

‒ Extended recognition and linking of authorised entities

‒ Enhanced OAI interface: full-text data.

‒ CCO license for everything

‒ Extending the full-text availability

‒ IIIF compliance

Universal reuse of images: IIIF (for reference Presentation API 2.1), but e.g. a legal statement is linked out, availability of a fulltext transcript, NER and dedicated tools support is not covered in a standardised way

Metadata to indicate in a registry / search systems, what we offer.


Discussion

Linked (open) data‒ Impact for visibility is in fact limited

‒ Level of complexity to high

‒ High potential for reuse in a joined eco-system in the LAM-sector – so let‘s move theview

‒ Reduced / simple ontologies for reuse in the net

Dedicated role of OCLC !?

The SBB/SPK-case‒ Focus on collections, extension of (data)services

‒ Relevant data outside the library

‒ Involved in an overall marketing strategy

‒ Part of the digital transformation agenda (started in 2016)

‒ Not only a technical challenge but even an organisational

‒ Integration of machine-readable information into metadata (like REL)
