A new Union Catalogue generation
in linked open data

@Cult
A new model to create a Union catalogue
The project goals: the conversion in linked open data, the
publishing of the dataset in RDF, the production of a unique
portal with a userfriendly interface of bibliographic and
authority data coming from different universities in the south of
Italy:

The portal: a three layers architecture
1°- Person/Work: the set of data related to Person and Works, in RDF
(linked open data), saved in a SPARQL endpoint and made available by
specific search and presentation functions. The variant forms of name for
Person and the Work titles coming from local authority files and VIAF.
2°- Manifestations: bibliographic data indexed in SOLR, that is able to
produce new different data aggregations in facets (such as publication
date, language, publisher, edition, etc.); this layer gives to users a great
series of search and navigation functions.
3°- Item: holdings data, related to copy information, coming from local
OPAC or local system of each specific library.

preferred and variant forms of name, used both in authority files and in
different bibliographic catalogues, finally enriched with VIAF forms.

APIs VIAF to retrieve data
An important step of the project to retrieve data from VIAF: using the
specific APIs, we retrieve the info for Person/Family/Corporate body and
Work/Expression layer.
For each VIAF ID we retrieve the following info:
a) Variant forms on name for each ID: they will be used to make
possible, to end users and search engine, to extend the search functions
using all possible forms of names, in different string texts and
alphabets.
b) Works associated to specific VIAf ID of Person: used to combine
Person with his Works, considering (filtering) only title works for wich
exists al least one Manifestation in the original catalogues.

Union catalogue - Hypothesis of a project
1°Physical union catalogue: one LMS, one catalogue, one OPAC => Trento
Union Catalogue model
2°Central database (hub) with download of physical data (shared data, in
different original formats)
3°A network of libraries grouped in local hubs (each local hub served by
different LMS), linked to a Central Index system, core of the network (local
hub are connected to Central Index via API)
4°Union catalogue in RDF (linked open data) plus a complex API layer to
connect different ILS
