    Transforming CANTIC to the Semantic Web: Enhancing Interoperability and Dissemination through Linked Open Data
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2025-03-19) Sulé, Andreu; Salse, Marina; Ferran, Imma
    The IFLA Advisory Committee on Standards hosted a symposium on metadata, with the theme “Metadata Standards Matter: Building a Sustainable Future for Information” at the National Library of Greece, Athens, on 19 March 2025. This presentation falls under the Technology Matters subtheme which focuses on the technological advancements that support metadata standards and emerging technologies, including AI. The Biblioteca de Catalunya, as the national library of Catalonia, leads and manages the Catàleg d’autoritats de noms i títols de Catalunya (CANTIC), a cooperative authority catalog for Name, Title, and Name/Title combinations. While CANTIC is recognized for its comprehensive and collaborative approach to authority control, it currently lacks full integration with semantic web standards such as RDF and Linked Open Data (LOD). This presentation explores an ongoing project aimed at transforming CANTIC's records into a semantic web-compliant format and implementing a SPARQL endpoint to facilitate advanced querying and integration. By adopting these technologies, CANTIC seeks to position itself as a future-proof authority dataset with enhanced interoperability and dissemination capabilities in the global information ecosystem.
