The activities of Share-VDE are organised into several work strands. Being a community initiative, the goals and desired outcomes are defined by the participating institutions through active engagement in different working groups that meet on a regular basis.

Share-VDE member libraries are welcome to join one or more working groups based on their interest in a specific work strand and on the active contribution they can bring to the discussion. To become a member of a working group, contact the chair or Share-VDE team at helpdesk@svde.org.

SVDE Advisory Council (AC)

The Share-VDE AC will take an active role in determining future uses and vision for the Share-VDE initiative; Develop future use cases for Share-VDE, and set development priorities as needed; Monitor and lead the work of the various Advisory Council Working Groups; Maintain communication among the Share member institutions.

The current members list of the SVDE Advisory Council (including liaisons from other projects) and the Share Family Working Groups is available at https://bit.ly/2023_ShareFamily-SVDE_WG_members.

SVDE-AC Authority/Identifier Management Services working group (AIMS)

The Authority/Identifier Management Services WG defines guidelines and best practices for Authority/Identifier management in the linked data environment; defines scope and data-flow for creation and implementation of services connected with the SVDE system based on preliminary documentation.

Among the latest outcomes:

  • new generation of services for the authority control;
  • definition of use cases;
  • functional analysis;
  • analysis of interaction with Wikidata and ISNI (joint work with CKBE WG to design JCricket functionalities);
  • pilot of MARC-based authority services with Stanford University Libraries (see chapter above);
  • initial analysis of services for authority control in linked data workflows.

SVDE-AC Cluster Knowledge Base Editor working group (CKB editor)

An essential part of the MARC to RDF conversion process is the maintenance of metadata that have been produced and registered on the Cluster Knowledge Base (CKB); the group analyses how libraries interact with the CKB and their use of the Editor for modifying (correcting / enriching), deleting, merging and separating clusters; the same approach will be applied on the data originally created in BIBFRAME.

Among the latest outcomes:

  • back-end developments for JCricket entity editor are completed, front-end features will follow;
  • definition of use cases;
  • design of manual editing features;
  • analysis of interaction with Wikidata and ISNI to be incorporated into JCricket and authority dataflows that feed the Cluster Knowledge Base (joint work with AIMS WG to design JCricket functionalities).

SVDE-AC Sapientia Entity Identification working group (SEI)

The Sapientia Entity Identification WG reviews the identification and clustering process of entities and submits feedback on potential improvements or optimizations; reviews the use of primary resource identifiers in the dataset and provides feedback as appropriate; engages with the PCC to identify and/or develop best practices for use of these identifiers in BIBFRAME and MARC data.

Among the latest outcomes:

  • definition of the SVDE Ontology
  • definition of svde:Opus and svde:Work in relation to entities of the BIBFRAME ontology;
  • review of clustering and conversion rules;
  • focus on cooperation also in the IFLA context: the mapping UNIMARC-BIBFRAME has been completed and a formal liaison with SVDE has been approved by the IFLA Bibliography Section Standing Committee.

SVDE-AC User Experience/User Interface working group (UX-UI)

The User Experience/User Interface WG re-designs the user interface to respond to both patrons and library staff requirements and expectations, to reflect the components of the data model infrastructure, and to provide an intuitive user experience.

The new interface:

  • reflects the components of the data model infrastructure;
  • harnesses the potential of linked data and deliver wide-ranging and detailed search results;
  • provides an intuitive user experience hiding the complexity of the underlying data model;
  • embeds partner APIs for the interoperability with local library services (e.g. lending);
  • allows dedicated skin portals (e.g. Penn the branding of the institution).

Share Family National Bibliographies working group (Natbib)

Among the Share Family of library driven initiatives a new working group has started dedicated to the practical cooperation among the National Bibliographies. Considering the important presence of several National Libraries in the Share-VDE community and in the broader network of institutions that follow the progress of this initiative and of other Linked Open Data projects, this working group has been launched in order to study and address the needs of National Libraries and institutions that hold National Bibliographies in the framework of the shared entity discovery environment https://natbib-lod.org/. Read the Executive summary of the National Bibliographies initiative.

Latest outcomes

After the initial discussion phase opened in the first months of the group’s work, we are now structuring the use cases for a tenant hosting a collective global catalogue of national bibliographies in linked open data, thanks to the input of the participating libraries. Starting from this input, we have distilled a first set of high-level use cases that the group is analyzing; the next step is for the group to define priority use cases, that is, those that will be transformed into functions that libraries want to be developed first in the National Bibliographies tenant.

It’s important to note that participation in Share-VDE environment and related tenant is not in conflict with the participation in the National Bibliographies tenant: while SVDE ingests the whole catalogue of bibliographic and authority data of any contributing libraries, the Natbib tenant ingests only the national bibliographies datasets, thus supporting a dedicated discovery environment and prospect ad hoc features for national bibliographies data that typically have specific requirements.

Summary of updates:

  • involvement of SVDE / Share Family members and external institutions;
  • IFLA Bibliographic Section liaison (Tiziana Possemato from the Share Family Staff);
  • discussion around topics of interest for an ad hoc tenant hosting national bibliographies;
  • development of the main tenant of the shared discovery environment for national bibliographies: https://natbib-lod.org/; implementation of the skin portal for the BNB - British National Bibliography https://bl.natbib-lod.org (this is a preview of a beta site)
  • analysis of use cases for specific features;
  • joint work with the SVDE UX-UI working group to design end user services and user interface/discovery features.
