    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2024) IFLA Bibliography Section Standing Committee; Young, Thurstan; Lionnetti, Anna; Lieber, Sven; Murakami, Kazue; Arndt, Tracy; Andersson, Andreas; Frosterus, Matias; Ouf, Rehab; Possemato, Tiziana
    As National Libraries and Bibliographic Agencies across the globe continue to evolve, the transformation of National Bibliographies and Authority data into linked open data has become a critical step in modernizing information access, discovery, and integration. This webinar aims to bring together experts, practitioners, IT specialists, service and library managers, to discuss the state-of-the-art practices, projects, and challenges associated with transforming National Bibliographies into linked data. The webinar provided a forum for National Libraries and Bibliographic Agencies to share their experiences, insights, and showcase advancements in working with linked open data. Expert presentations explored innovative projects, practical experiences, technical choices, the latest trends, and recommendations on linked open data as it relates to national bibliographic and authority data. The webinar was the third in the Bibliography Section's virtual event series “Topics in National Bibliographies”. The webinar the third webinar of the Bibliography Sections' virtual event series “Topics in National Bibliographies”.

    Renewing the German National Library’s Linked Open Data Ecosystem: Challenges and Opportunities
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2025-02-20) Arndt, Tracy
    Since 2010 the German National Library provides the German National Bibliography and the authority file GND (Gemeinsame Normdatei) as Linked Data. Following years of development and growth, the service has reached a point where it is challenging and complex to implement further adjustments. This presentation will begin by introducing our Linked Open Data ecosystem, including an overview of the data and publication workflows. We will analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the workflows and software. We present our approach to renew the Linked Data Service step-by-step. The key aspects of this process are to automate and adapt in order to achieve a higher quality of data and service. Some steps that were previously completed manually have already been replaced by automated processes. Continuous integration is a crucial element in the new setup. Our objective is to automate the majority of the data production workflow, allowing us to dedicate our resources to quality assurance. We implement a central point for conversion rules embedded in SHACL shapes. The SHACL Shapes are used for quality assurance purposes and are used to automatically generate a documentation of the data production process. At present we are extracting further rules from the existing production process to close gaps in its documentation and quality assurance. To enhance the overall service quality of our data service we aim to improve the findability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability (FAIR) by providing a SPARQL service. Currently, we are evaluating available SPARQL engines. Overall, we are working to improve the data production through the extraction and adaptation of rules for automated quality assurance and documentation generation, as well as the usability of the service regarding its FAIR properties by providing a SPARQL service in the future.
