Initiated by the Library of Congress, BIBFRAME (Bibliographic Framework Initiative project) provides a foundation for the future of bibliographic description, both on the Web, and in the broader networked world. BIBFRAME was designed to replace the MARC standards by using linked data and semantic technologies.
This session will include a brief introduction to BIBFRAME, use cases of BIBFRAME in the cultural heritage community, an update on BIBFRAME implementation planning underway at the Library of Congress, Zepheira’s practical training program and community based Web visibility activities and George Washington University as early implementer.
