About the subgroup

DRAFT charge

Linked Open Data in FOLIO is a subgroup organized within the Metadata Management Special Interest Group with membership open to all members of the FOLIO community. This group continues and expands on the work done by the Entity Management Working Group (2020-2022).

The subgroup is focused on the following: 

  • Exploring, investigating, documenting, and sharing information about development related to linked data within the FOLIO community in order to help libraries select and implement solutions.
  • Providing a venue for stakeholders to give input on and inform development of linked data tools in FOLIO.
  • Identifying and informing the broad FOLIO community of library requirements for linked data tools.
  • Defining and documenting community requirements around implementing linked data within the FOLIO environment, especially regarding the transition from creating MARC data to linked data.
  • Advocating for a community-based approach to linked data and entity management in FOLIO. Advocating for and growing a community of practice around BIBFRAME.
  • Identifying and exploring challenges libraries will face working in a data-format agnostic environment.
  • Surveying and categorizing the current and emergent BIBFRAME technical infrastructure environment in an effort to encourage equitable access to linked open data workflows and production capabilities.
