	The LOD Platform technology enables institutions to embrace the advantages of linked open data. The Cluster Knowledge Base (CKB, or Entity Knowledge Base) is the result of the entity identification and resolution obtained through clustering processes with data coming from different participating libraries with enrichment of external sources. JCricket is the Linked Data Entity Editor developed by the Share~~-VDE~~ community, a tool designed for collaboratively curating entity data living in the CKB.		The LOD Platform technology enables institutions to embrace the advantages of linked open data. The Cluster Knowledge Base (CKB, or Entity Knowledge Base) is the result of the entity identification and resolution obtained through clustering processes with data coming from different participating libraries with enrichment of external sources. JCricket is the Linked Data Entity Editor developed by the Share Family community, a tool designed for collaboratively curating entity data living in the CKB.

	The entity editor JCricket opens new forms of cooperation among institutions. The CKB is conceived as a live source of authoritative data: through JCricket editor, member institutions engage in collaborative entity management and in a new way of performing authority control. JCricket is the tool for collaborative linked data entity management. It enables - according to the BIBFRAME ontology - the entity curation (e.g. creation of new entities, entity modification, the application of entity merge and split functions). The scope is to improve the quality of the Entity Knowledge Base that is a live source produced through clustering and daily update processes. JCricket is a manual application that makes it possible to manage bibliography data in the form of entities. It empowers professional librarians to enhance the quality of machine-generated data output of MARC to BIBFRAME transformation.

	Also, the availability of this tool enables new data workflows that are being analysed to support the use of JCricket even outside of the Share Family LOD Platform. We are considering several scenarios where linked data systems (eg. Library of Congress Marva or LD4P Sinopia BIBFRAME editors) can simultaneously operate locally with their own tools and share and cooperatively edit linked data resources across different environments using JCricket.

	JCricket operates on the ~~Share-VDE~~ CKB - Cluster Knowledge Base ~~(and on the CKB of the other Share Family tenants)~~, which is not a local data storage for a single library, but rather the outcome of complex integration processes that generate entities from local data in traditional formats, such as MARC, and new formats, like RDF. Its optimal application is within a large data pool formed through contributions from multiple libraries, such as Share-VDE; therefore, it does not impact original data that reside in member libraries’ systems, unless libraries want to use ad hoc APIs for entity updates both in SVDE and in their local systems, which is also an option.

	Also, not only JCricket operates on members' institutions data processed by the the LOD Platform, but it can serve as a bridge with cross-domain contexts to create links with third parties, such as FOLIO community and Wikidata, and to support the integration with third parties' ILS / LSP.

			== Key facts about JCricket ==

			* '''Unique Data Model''': JCricket features a unique data model that includes a multi-dimensional entity concept called Prism.
			* '''Collaboration Model''': the editor is designed to welcome '''multi-institutional''' contributions and collaboration '''on a field-by-field basis'''. While it does not update in real-time to avoid disruptive conflicts, it does notify users of concurrent edits, facilitating coordination.
			* Focus on '''Entity''' '''representation''':
			** JCricket is designed primarily as an entity editor, aiming to move away from the traditional MARC record logic. This design choice is reflected in its user interface, which is developed from scratch rather than being based on the MARC structure.
			* '''Comprehensive Entity Management''': JCricket manages all levels of entities, including Agent, Work, Instance, Item, and Subjects.
			* '''Data Quality Management''': JCricket includes features for data quality management in a shared environment, allowing for merging, splitting, and deduplication of entities.
			* '''Provenance Tracking''': users can see the provenance of contributions from different institutions. When a new value is contributed, existing entries from other institutions remain intact, and users can collaborate on what is displayed using the leader value.
			* '''Language Filter''':
			** JCricket allows catalogers to set one or multiple languages they are proficient in, automatically displaying empty fields in those languages for data entry.
			** Users can also choose to see entries in languages not specified or tailor the display to specific languages, which is a common use case.
			* '''Change History''': the log feature allows users to view the history of all changes made, providing transparency in the editing process.
			* '''Draft Workflow''':
			** JCricket supports a "draft workflow" for batch processing where users can input free-text values (e.g., “Chris Carroll”) and later link these to actual entities by searching the system.
			** Users can also choose to link data field by field, based on their preference.
