 Description   

Current situation or problem:

The thin thread for the BIBFRAME project must support cataloging profiles for Work, Instance, and Item in order for catalogers to search for resource descriptions, edit resource descriptions, and/or create new resource descriptions.

The profiles must fully support and align with the profiles created by the Library of Congress for BIBFRAME 2.0.

In scope

At minimum, the profiles needed for the thin thread must include:

  • Monograph:Work. (lc:RT:bf2:Monograph:Work)
  • Monograph:Instance. (lc:RT:bf2:Monograph:Instance)

Additionally, there may be more supplementary profiles referenced from Work, Instance, and Item that could be included as part of the thin thread. 

Collectively, the profiles covered in the thin thread define the BIBFRAME 2.0 schemas needed to conduct end to end cataloging for selected workflows. 

The profiles will be used to 

  • build a database for the thin thread
  • load the database with existing resource descriptions
  • search the database
  • create new monograph resource descriptions
  • edit new monograph resource descriptions
  • delete existing monograph resource descriptions

For a list Library of Congress BIBFRAME profiles, see Github repository:

Out of scope

  • Monograph:Item   (lc:RT:bf2:Monograph:Item); NOTE: 'Item' was originally included in the scope of the Thin Thread, and moved out of scope to help ensure that the team kept to the Thin Thread timeline. The long-term objective is to support monograph Item within the BIBFRAME editor so that end-to-end workflow is supported in Marva
  • BIBFRAME profiles for non-Monographs (e.g. serials, rare materials)
  • BIBFRAME Lite profiles

NOTE: Profiles for other BIBFRAME 2.0 categories (e.g. Agents and Identifiers) will be used selectively. Only a subset of profiles in these categories will be included within scope; not every profile within a given category will need to be supported for the thin thread. 

Use case(s)

Proposed solution/stories

For the Thin Thread, we will initially focus on loading sample records from the Library of Congress directly into the database.  

Eventually, the Thin Thread will need pipelines for transforming MARC records into BIBFRAME.

The files supplied by LC are in RDF/XML format, and will need to be converted into JSON - the preferred format for the database - and then loaded into the test BIBFRAME database.

We can investigate data utilities for executing the conversion to JSON and load the converted files accordingly.
