	'''Share-VDE''' (SVDE) '''is a library-driven initiative''' part of the Share Family which brings together the bibliographic catalogues and authority files of a '''community of libraries in a shared discovery environment''' based on linked data.		'''Share-VDE''' (SVDE) '''is a library-driven initiative''' part of the Share Family which brings together the bibliographic catalogues and authority files of a '''community of libraries in a shared discovery environment''' based on linked data.

	Share-VDE, as well as all the initiatives part of the Share Family, implements the BIBFRAME ontology with specific extensions to facilitate the interoperability with IFLA LRM and other widely used ontologies. Share-VDE is supported by an advanced Entity Discovery Portal and Linked Data Management System that can be explored at https://svde.org. The load of Share-VDE libraries’ data is being done progressively while we work towards the production workflow; currently https://svde.org hosts a subset of the data of member institutions. Additionally, an ~~imminent~~ development is the launch of JCricket, a manual entity editor and shared cataloguing tool designed to facilitate the management, editing and creation of entities for bibliographic and authority data within all Share Family environments.		== Commitment to open metadata ==
			The Share Family adopts an '''[https://bit.ly/ShareFamily-Open-Metadata-Policy Open Metadata Policy]''', approved by its Advisory Council (the previous version of the policy is available https://bit.ly/SVDE-Open-Metadata-Policy).

			The Share Family has also signed the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information as a supporter. By joining the Declaration, the Share Family reaffirms its commitment to openness, interoperability and reuse as essential principles for the production, management and sharing of open metadata, research and bibliographic information. More information is provided at https://bit.ly/SF-2026-Press-Release_BD.

			The Share Family advocates for contributing to an open research information landscape and to the broader movement for sustainable, transparent and community-governed knowledge infrastructures.

			== Overview of the initiative ==
			Share-VDE, as well as all the initiatives part of the Share Family, implements the BIBFRAME ontology with specific extensions to facilitate the interoperability with IFLA LRM and other widely used ontologies. Share-VDE is supported by an advanced Entity Discovery Portal and Linked Data Management System that can be explored at https://svde.org. The load of Share-VDE libraries’ data is being done progressively while we work towards the production workflow; currently https://svde.org hosts a subset of the data of member institutions. Additionally, an new development is the launch of [https://wiki.share-vde.org/wiki/ShareDoc:PublicDocumentation/LODPlatform/EntityEditor JCricket], a manual entity editor and shared cataloguing tool designed to facilitate the management, editing and creation of entities for bibliographic and authority data within all Share Family environments.

	'''Version 3 of the [https://wiki.share-vde.org/wiki/ShareDoc:PublicDocumentation/LODPlatform LOD Platform]''' (the technology underlying all Share Family initiatives) is now available for participants to test. More information is provided at https://bit.ly/SF-2025-Press-Release-ENG.

	The Share Family adopts an '''[https://bit.ly/ShareFamily-Open-Metadata-Policy Open Metadata Policy]''', approved by its Advisory Council (the previous version of the policy is available https://bit.ly/SVDE-Open-Metadata-Policy). Furthermore, the [https://bit.ly/SF-Executive-Summary-Consortia '''Share Family Executive Summary for Consortia'''] offers additional insights into how the Share Family can assist consortia in transitioning to linked open data, providing valuable strategies and support. Additionally, the [https://bit.ly/SVDE-Executive-Summary '''Executive Summary'''] detailing Share-VDE's role in linked open data for libraries is available, along with the previous [https://bit.ly/SVDE-Statement-2021 Share-VDE Statement 2021], which includes Share-VDE's explanation of position.

	This collaborative endeavour, driven by the requirements and perceptions of libraries, is promoted by the [[ShareVDE:Members/Share-VDE working groups#SVDE Advisory Council (AC)\|'''Share Family Advisory Council''']] and advocated by '''[http://www.casalini.it/Index.asp?LINGUA=ING Casalini Libri]''', an international bibliographic agency and member of the Program for Cooperative Cataloging. The technology is developed by '''[http://www.atcult.it/en/ @Cult]''', a provider of ILS, discovery tools and Semantic Web solutions for the cultural heritage sector, with input and active participation from an international group of national and research libraries, and influenced by the vision of the '''[https://searchworks.stanford.edu/catalog?f%5Bcollection%5D%5B%5D=ky962tf4069 LD4P project]'''.

	After two successful research & development phases launched in 2016 and with the cooperation of the Library of Congress, the Share Family tenants are now going progressively into production '''connecting the catalogues of research and national libraries on various continents, including the US, Canada, Europe, and Asia'''. The collaborative initiative is potentially open to any library and is steered by the library community.

	The Share Family technology is also adaptable to the specific needs of '''library consortia''', allowing them to enter the linked open data environment. This integration provides consortium members with access to advanced functions such as collaborative cataloging, automated authority control, URI enrichment, and linked data conversion. Customized integrations are available to connect the bibliographic catalogs and authority files of different libraries, presenting their data in dynamic formats to enhance visibility and engagement with resources and collections.

This integration offers advanced functions such as collaborative cataloging and automated authority control, ensuring a smooth transition for libraries from legacy processes to cost-effective, collaborative cataloging models while retaining metadata control. Interoperability with the Share Family enhances the potential of LSP ecosystems and fosters new levels of international cooperation among libraries.
