<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">Having a system capable of hosting union catalogs that integrate catalogs from many libraries producing a rich and articulated structure of linked data entities imposes the challenge of having adequate technological and infrastructural resources to support the connected complexity and amount of data.

<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">Obviously, this further enhancement of infrastructure meant a lot of work in setting up the AWS backbone and integrating it with the pre-existing components, in particular the clustering module and algorithms that are constantly refined and enriched based on the input of the SVDE community itself, particularly through the work of the SEI - Sapientia Entity Identification group.</span>


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">In light of this, in March we processed an initial set of approximately 42 millions bibliographic and authority MARC records that were converted to create 98 millions of clusters of linked data entities.

== Introduction ==
The Share Family is committed to fostering cooperation among its member institutions and within the broader GLAM community to showcase the immense value of being part of an initiative developed and driven by libraries for libraries.  


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">In parallel with the infrastructure improvement, a number of advancements have been developed, including clustering and search algorithm refinements. Those enhancements are beneficial to all Share Family tenants, and the new processing run of library catalogues in progress these weeks is a prerequisite to activate the new functions.</span>
The Share Family’s collaborative approach to linked open data results in advanced technology applications for bibliographic descriptions and shared data management tools. Member institutions embrace the recent progress of LOD Platform technology and are empowered by the advantages of linked open data for knowledge sharing.


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">Just to mention some of the most relevant new features involved:</span>
== Version 3.1.1 and LOD Platform developments ==
The version 3.0.0 of the [[ShareDoc:PublicDocumentation/LODPlatform|LOD Platform]] that was announced [https://bit.ly/SFBulletin_n9_Jul2024 in the latest issue of the Share Family Bulletin] has introduced substantial changes to the technology framework supporting the system. JCricket entity editor and shared cataloguing tool is the major enhancement of v.3.0.0, but the system has undertaken important optimisations in the [[ShareDoc:PublicDocumentation/Release notes|following software releases 3.1.0 and 3.1.1]], which are currently being tested by member institutions.


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:
The LOD Platform technology is shared across all environments of the [https://www.share-family.org/ Share Family initiative], and software releases are rolled out to the various [[ShareFamily:Main Page#The%20Share%20Family%20branches%20(tenants)|tenants]] following a dedicated schedule.
    &quot;Times New Roman&quot;">1. Improvements and refinements to the search functions, including:</span>


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">Publication simple search, including the default simple search on Publications and the ability to filter for Language, Year, Type, Library, Electronic / Print, Auctions / Exhibitions. The default simple search on Publications will be enabled only on some tenants of the Share Family. As soon as it will be available, we’ll be able to show you more on this.</span>
=== Cluster Knowledge Base and data management ===
'''<big>Entity model and Cluster Knowledge Base</big>'''


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">The search mechanism and search features like facets are configurable at tenant level.</span>
The LOD Platform currently supports the latest version of the BIBFRAME ontology, and will upgrade the MARC-to-BIBFRAME mapping to the most up to date version. The use of BIBFRAME within the Share Family initiative has been extended to guarantee interoperability with IFLA LRM and with applications not based on BIBFRAME. The [https://zenodo.org/doi/10.5281/zenodo.8332350 SVDE Ontology] is the result of work that has been carried on since last year by the [https://wiki.share-vde.org/wiki/ShareFamily:NewsAndUpdates#Share_Family_Community_updates SEI - Sapientia Entity Identification Working Group], with the svde:Opus entity being the most prominent extension of the ontology.       


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">Support for the federated search and integration of data from external sources (es. JSTOR for the Kubikat-LOD portal).</span>

mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;
mso-ansi-language:IT;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">Initial version of Subject management, including subject strings linked in the Subject tab of the Publication page and the display of concepts; currently this is visible for example on Kubikat-LOD, and will be displayed soon on the other Share Family portals. There will also be an improvement of the current feature in future versions of the system.</span>


3. <span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif;
mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;
mso-ansi-language:IT;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">User interface functions that enable connections with local library environments or connected services, including the link to the local OPACs and in the future interactive features like circulation request buttons (e.g. see an example of the button “[https://www.svde.org/a-compendium-of-physiological-and-systematic-botany-p2601646312284726/related-agents Available at]”). Other similar functions are being analysed for further enhancements of the actions available for end users.</span>

5. <span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif;
mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;
mso-ansi-language:IT;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">Data representation in different formats including JSON, MARC, MARCXML, RIS (other linked-data based representation formats are in progress, including JSON-LD, RDF XML, N-triples, N3, Turtle, N-Quads, TriX, TriG).</span>
6. <span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif;
mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;
mso-ansi-language:IT;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">Management of the Provenance of library resources: the system can be queried via API to return the bibliographic records of a given Provenance (= institution) connected to an Instance, and also to show which institutions have contributed to a given linked data cluster (through the Provenance itself). This is crucial to support the editing of linked data entities that will be enabled by the J.Cricket editor that is under development. See more on Provenance [https://wiki.share-vde.org/w/images/b/b3/Share-VDE_perspective_on_Cluster_Knowledge_Base_and_Provenance.pdf in a recent presentation].</span>


The output of the SEI Working Group is being incorporated in the LOD Platform components, e.g. the OpusType property is available in the test environment and can be used in the JCricket entity editor that is being tested.


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">Concerning other work strands, the developments for the J.Cricket linked data entity editor are moving forward: a lot of work is going on behind the scenes for the implementation of the back-end features that will support the editing of the data in the Cluster Knowledge Base. For example, federated authentication and authorization to manage J.Cricket users; entity status mechanism to rule concurrent editing and cluster variations; notification management.</span>
A key aspect of LOD Platform data management is the ability to manage data at a very fine granularity level. The aim is to have the [[ShareDoc:PublicDocumentation/LODPlatform/ClusterKnowledgeBase|CKB - Cluster Knowledge Base]] (or Entity Knowledge Base) as a single source of truth for the LOD Platform and Share Family installations. This will improve:


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">Much work is also being done to optimise the general performance of the system and in particular of the indexing process, which is a key part of the data load to the web portals. This is not a trivial task when it comes to the very large size of SVDE tenant, which supports an exponential number of clusters created from the original library records. It is critical to have a responsive system and we are doing our best to provide the best user experience possible.</span>
* a “format-agnostic” CKB where all input formats converge into one conversion source (eg. MARC21, UNIMARC, native BIBFRAME/RDF eg. from LD4P Sinopia application profiles…);


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">Developments are also ongoing to complete customised skin portals and SVDE localisations, starting from the University of Pennsylvania dedicated portal.</span>
* improved conversion from MARC to BIBFRAME and vice versa;
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif;
* single conversion pipeline from the CKB – removing the conversion pipeline based on MARC.
mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:
Calibri;mso-ansi-language:IT;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">From the community work standpoint, the SEI - Sapientia Entity Identification working group has concluded the work on the definition of the Instance entity and how it should be clustered among the other SVDE entities, and defined the rules to model the relationships between entities in order to relate them appropriately. This represents a significant contribution to the BIBFRAME based SVDE ontology that is also compatible with IFLA LRM.</span>
<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">Moreover, we are very happy with the progress of the [[ShareVDE:Members/Share-VDE working groups#Share%20Family%20National%20Bibliographies%20working%20group%20.28NB.29|National Bibliographies working group]]. 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. </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif;
mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:
Calibri;mso-ansi-language:IT;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">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.</span>


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">It’s also worth mentioning that the involvement in the discussions stemming from the [https://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/bibframe/PCC-BIBFRAME-Data-Exchange-Summary.pdf PCC BIBFRAME Data Exchange meeting] will be of great value for the advancement of interoperability and cooperation within the community, and for the Share Family itself. </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif;
One of the main pipelines we’re following in this context is the management of attributes through controlled vocabularies instead of literals. This is being achieved by:
mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:
Calibri;mso-ansi-language:IT;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">This focus on interoperability among BIBFRAME nodes will also be beneficial to the harmonisation of SVDE - LD4P3 interaction, and the connection with the Sinopia environment.</span>


* defining each controlled vocabulary in collaboration with the Sapientia Entity Identification Working Group;
* enriching each vocabulary with external authoritative sources (RDA, Library of Congress, FINTO…);
* clustering of controlled vocabularies and assignment of a URI to each value.


After completing the work on these vocabularies, they will be made available on JCricket.






<br />
'''<big>UNIMARC</big>'''


__FORCETOC__
The direct management of UNIMARC records in clusterization and reconciliation processes without the “middle step conversion” from UNIMARC to MARC21 has been completed, and a Wikibase instance https://unimarc2bibframe.wikibase.cloud/ documents this work. An update has also been provided at the 6th IFLA UNIMARC Users Meeting in November 2024, with the presentation by Tiziana Possemato and Claudio Forziati [https://wiki.share-vde.org/w/images/c/c4/10_Possemato_Forziati.pdf ''UNIMARC-BIBFRAME Mapping: Evolving Interoperability in Data Modelling''] ([https://youtu.be/uNpQXHTS3pw?feature=shared&t=3561 recording available]).
 
The related developments had as a result the migration of the SHARE Catalogue platform to the new CKB infrastructure and enhanced entity discovery portal https://www.sharecatalogue-lod.org/ (see also the [https://wiki.share-vde.org/wiki/ShareFamily:NewsAndUpdates#Share_Family_Community_updates updates on Share Family tenants] below).
 
 
 
'''<big>UAT – User Acceptance Testing environment</big>'''
 
In the Share-VDE tenant, sets of real data from SVDE members institutions have been loaded to a UAT (User Acceptance Testing) environment that runs on the latest software version. The purpose is to test the most recent output of the clusterization of SVDE libraries’ data in a small-scale data pool. Members are validating the results of clusterization processes in the common CKB, ie. the quality of data processing, clustering, linked data conversion and entity display on the discovery portal. Input from the SVDE and Share Family community has always been the foundation of the initiative and an added value to developments.
 
 
 
'''<big>Data update procedures</big>'''
 
Incremental updates of data ingested from member institutions are managed through a dedicated module that has been continuously fine-tuned to streamline and automate the so-called “delta updates” imports. On the Natbib tenant, the institutional portal for the BNB - British National Bibliography currently supports a stable workflow of delta updates ingestion.
 
The delta updates workflow will be applied to all tenants as soon as massive data import and indexing will be stable.
 
=== JCricket Entity Editor ===
Upon the release of the LOD Platform v.3.0.0, JCricket was rolled out in a test environment dedicated to member institutions. The first round of tests has been done in the second half of 2024, and a new testing phase is ongoing. Feedback from testers will be incorporated in the application. You can explore more of JCricket in the [[ShareDoc:PublicDocumentation|Public Documentation section]] of the Share Family wiki at [[ShareDoc:PublicDocumentation/LODPlatform/EntityEditor|LOD Platform Entity Editor - JCricket]] and check out the demo of JCricket entity editor at the [https://youtu.be/sD3qYbx0n0Q BIBFRAME Workshop in Europe 2024] ([https://wiki.share-vde.org/w/images/6/6c/day1_004_SFamily_BFWE_2024.pdf slides] are also available).
 
JCricket operates on all layers of the LOD Platform entity model (ie. bf:Agent, svde:Opus, svde:Work, bf:Instance, Item). Also, JCricket users see multi-provenance data at individual attribute level. The tracking of the [[ShareDoc:PublicDocumentation/LODPlatform/EntityEditor#Provenance%20and%20Prism|Provenance]] has been implemented since the beginning as a pivotal element to enable entity data curation by cataloguers from different institutions in a shared space.
 
The evolution of JCricket over time illustrates the progress of the tool and future goals.
 
[[File:JCricket timeline.png|none|thumb|658x658px]]
 
=== Architecture and infrastructure ===
<big>'''Multi-tenant architecture'''</big>
 
Multi-tenancy is an infrastructure configuration that allows many clients to share a single instance of a software application and the related infrastructure resources. We have implemented and are rolling out this approach to reduce effort and machine resources needed to set-up and configure a new tenant or an institutional installation within it. This ensures that data is stored and managed in a unified way, optimizing security, scalability, and efficiency. While built for multi-tenancy, the architecture also seamlessly adapts to private deployments for those who require a dedicated installation.
 
 
 
'''<big>New database</big>'''
 
Because the scale of the Share Family environment has been growing at a big data level (particularly for the largest tenant Share-VDE), we are testing a new database solution that would rely on a NoSQL approach. This would ensure scalability and stable performance in massive data imports and incremental updates.
 
=== Third parties integration ===
The evolution of the LOD Platform technology encompasses the ability to mutually integrate the data produced with external systems, notably with local ILS and Library Service Platforms and authority sources. This is being achieved through the integration of the LOD Platform tools with local ILS and LSP, or cataloguing modules:
 
* Alma: connection to circulation processes have been established; exploration of CRUD APIs together with Alma libraries is in course, to push data from JCricket to Alma;
* FOLIO: pilot integration in progress with Lehigh University (Share-VDE member and FOLIO adopter); initial tests are completed for the automated data flow from JCricket into FOLIO’s Inventory module. The FOLIO Instance is automatically updated starting from input data in JCricket as the “source of truth”. Further use cases of mutual integration are being analysed and tested.
* Sinopia LD4P BIBFRAME cataloguing module: connection to Sinopia and parsing of Sinopia-generated data has been completed; after the testing phase, Sinopia data will be included in the LOD Platform CKB - Cluster Knowledge Base and edited through JCricket.
[[File:Integrations 1729264956711.png|none|thumb|662x662px]]
 
This work aims to facilitate a hybrid cataloging environment that retains support for existing MARC-based integrations while developing the flexibility and interconnectedness offered by Share Family-maintained entities. By automating this process, this integration project not only enhances the metadata management capabilities of libraries but also paves the way for seamless collaborative cataloging within the Share Family community.
 
[[File:JCricket interactions.png|none|thumb|656x656px]]
 
Further references can be found at this wiki page [https://wiki.share-vde.org/wiki/ShareVDE:Activities/Integrations Integration with third parties].
 
Lookup on authoritative sources such as Wikidata is also being developed to query and pull data while using JCricket. An endpoint has been set-up to query Wikidata Agents and Works via API and SPARQL. Currently, this implementation lives in the internal development environment.
 
[[File:integrazione fonti esterne3.jpg|none|thumb|656x656px]]
Finally, efforts to integrate LOD Platform features in other applications are progressing steadily also on other fronts. Two conference presentations by Jim Hahn (University of Pennsylvania) have demonstrated some of the options for interoperability supported by JCricket and LOD Platform search APIs:

=== Front-end enhancements ===
The majority of front-end enhancements has been devoted to improving JCricket, also as a consequence of users’ feedback and tests, as well as following the evolution of the tool. Ongoing optimisations include not only design revisions, but also data curation features. Just a few examples:
 
* the Provision Activity block of information structures publication data by mirroring the corresponding RDF group of publication attributes, and ensures better identification and reconciliation of Publishers.
* The ability to edit svde:Work data (as mentioned above, JCricket operates on all layers of the LOD Platform entity model).
* A preview of RDF entity representation has been designed and will be implemented.
 
The presentation layer of the discovery portal is also being improved, especially as far as accessibility for visually impaired users is concerned. Work is ongoing to validate the accessibility features of the web portal to confirm compliance with international guidelines. Also, refinements are ongoing to the management of Arabic script on the user interface. This task complements the management of multilingualism of Share Family data, that is already handled in two fashions:
 
* Clusterization processes (automated processes): in this case, the variant forms in various languages and scripts retrieved from the available national and international data sources are used to enable the end user to perform searches on the discovery portal using different scripts and getting the same results.
* Using JCricket entity editor (manual process): in this case, cataloguers can enrich the entity cluster with variant forms in terms of both different languages and different scripts.
 
== Community work ==
 
=== New Open Metadata Policy ===
The Share Family strives to support and invest in open data to freely share information, and an updated [https://bit.ly/ShareFamily-Open-Metadata-Policy Open Metadata Policy] has been approved by its Advisory Council. The community is committed, wherever possible, to share data transformed by its series of Linked Open Data (LOD) processes. 
 
The [https://bit.ly/SVDE-Open-Metadata-Policy previous version of the policy] was published in 2023 to encourage open access to data produced by Share Family processes.
 
=== Share Family Community updates ===
As usual, exchanges within the Share Family community steer the vision and the evolution of the initiative and the output of working groups nurtures technical developments:
 
* The [[ShareVDE:Members/Share-VDE working groups#SVDE-AC%20Sapientia%20Entity%20Identification%20working%20group%20(SEI)|Sapientia Entity Identification Working Group]] is committed to the [https://zenodo.org/doi/10.5281/zenodo.8332350 SVDE Ontology] to define svde:Opus entity properties for different content types. RDA properties are also taken into account in framing the ontology, and this will ensure greater interoperability.
* The [[ShareVDE:Members/Share-VDE working groups#SVDE-AC%20User%20Experience.2FUser%20Interface%20working%20group%20.28UX-UI.29|User Experience – User Interface Working Group]] continues working jointly with the [[ShareVDE:Members/Share-VDE working groups#Share%20Family%20National%20Bibliographies%20working%20group%20.28Natbib.29|National Bibliographies Working Group]] on a design proposal for the Publication page of the entity discovery portal, focusing on the aggregation of svde:Work and bf:Instance data. The group has narrowed down the core metadata for each material type and is now deciding how to display additional metadata that is not core to publication identification, with the aim of improving navigation and optimizing how end-users interact with and utilize the data.
 
On 19th September 2024 an informal Share Family meeting dedicated to members was held in Helsinki, at the National Library of Finland, after the two-day BIBFRAME Workshop in Europe. The engagement of the membership around key areas of development confirmed the added value of being part of an active and diverse community.
 
On behalf of the various [[ShareFamily:Main Page#The%20Share%20Family%20branches%20(tenants)|Share Family tenants]] we are happy to mention important advancements:
 
* The Share Catalogue tenant has transitioned to the latest version of the LOD Platform, which includes the advanced entity discovery portal and JCricket. The new version is online at https://www.sharecatalogue-lod.org/ and will be enhanced in the next period as far as data quality and data curation functions.
* The NLN - National Library of Norway joined the [https://natbib-lod.org National Bibliographies tenant]. Already a member of the SVDE tenant contributing its catalogue, the NLN will also provide the Norwegian national bibliography data and will be the second institution feeding this tenant along with the British Library.
* The beta British National Bibliography in linked data is stable in the institutional portal https://bl.natbib-lod.org, which is populated with regular updates.
* The Parsifal tenant https://parsifal.urbe.it/parsifal/ is effectively enabling the URBE network in the curation of a shared authority file originally created through the aggregation of the catalogues from participating libraries. We are working on a dashboard that orchestrates the workflow between the central authority file and the Cluster Knowledge Base, to facilitate individual libraries’ operations.
 
All members are welcome to contribute expertise, specific experience and bibliographic information for the enrichment of a collective catalogue and the entire Share community.
 
=== Collaborations with the library community ===
The Share Family team and member institutions continue to nurture the liaisons with the library information experts and linked data and BIBFRAME communities, to increase interoperability to the advantage of new bibliographic and linked data workflows and to enhance existing ones.
 
Moreover, participation in international working groups and networks is strategic to the Share Family community, and responds to its core principle of creating connections and increasing communication across initiatives and projects.

==Share-VDE and Share Family New Year update (January 2022)==
Highlights from two IFLA events:
<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">As 2022 has started, we are happy to look at the results achieved within the Share-VDE initiative over the past year and share with you the goals for the next period.</span>


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">Since the release of Share-VDE 2.0 new version in September available at [http://www.svde.org www.svde.org], other advancements have been done particularly to the system infrastructure and to the features that leverage the API layer orchestrating the query of SVDE data. Among others, the content negotiation mechanism used for serving different representations of a resource, and the Provenance that supports the tracking of the data source. More information is available, don’t hesitate to ask for details about API queries.</span>

<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">To provide feedback on the new version of [http://www.svde.org www.svde.org], do report bugs and suggestions reaching out through the forum https://forum.svde.org/.</span>


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">The new year is very promising as far as upgrades to the Share-VDE 2.0 linked data management system and discovery portal.</span>


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">We are working on several important objectives and it may be useful to anticipate some that we hope will be of interest to the members of Share-VDE and to the wider community of the Share Family of initiatives.</span>
<big>'''PCC - Program for Cooperative Cataloguing'''</big>


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">The recent huge improvements to the system infrastructure will support the operations for the incremental import of SVDE libraries catalogues that will populate the entity discovery.</span>
Share Family representatives have been involved at various levels in PCC - Program for Cooperative Cataloguing activities including various stakeholders:


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">J.Cricket, the module for the editing of linked data entities, will be developed throughout 2022 and will benefit from the developments done for SVDE 2.0. Also, the functional analysis done by the [[ShareVDE:Members/Share-VDE working groups|SVDE dedicated working groups]] has framed the interaction with external data sources to be incorporated into J.Cricket, and we look forward to start working on the inclusion of Wikidata and ISNI data, after the main features of the editor will be completed.</span>
* The PCC Task Group on AI and Machine Learning for Cataloging and Metadata provides guidelines for the integration of AI and Machine Learning technologies into cataloging and metadata work. This includes emphasizing strategic planning and ensuring that AI augments rather than replaces the valuable work of cataloging professionals. For more information, visit the [https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/PFCCP/PCC+Task+Group+on+AI+and+Machine+Learning+for+Cataloging+and+Metadata PCC Task Group on AI and Machine Learning for Cataloging and Metadata wiki] and the PoCo-approved [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UIDqZGU-1gVfRmWb_-UKRhZRUySyr1SdrU6qSA2f-80/edit?usp=sharing draft of the Guiding Principles for Use of AI and Machine Learning Technologies in Cataloging and Metadata Work].
* The [https://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/bibframe/Linked-Data-Tactical-Planning-Meeting-Outcomes.pdf Outcomes of the Linked Data Tactical Planning Meeting] report on the meeting organised by the PCC in November 2024 about transitioning cooperative cataloging workflows to a linked data-based production environment. Share Family staff and members contributed to the discussion with the experience of SVDE environment and JCricket entity editor.
* The newly created [https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/PFCCP/EMCO EMCO - Entity Management program] has kicked off the activities building on current PCC programs for authority control, to create an international cooperative program for managing linked data entities from any source PCC member institutions choose to use in their descriptive metadata practices.


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">The working group devoted to [https://wiki.share-vde.org/w/images/3/3d/SVDE_entity_model_and_comparison.pdf entity modeling] will consolidate the definition of Share-VDE Instance entity properties and will review clustering and conversion rules to optimise system processes, as part of the regular group activities. This is one of the added values to the management of a union catalogue such as Share-VDE.</span>


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">Developments will continue to complete customised skin portals and SVDE localisations.</span>


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">After the analysis done by the SVDE working groups dedicated to authority management, the initial release of the authority control features (through both automated and manual processes) for MARC-based environments is being refined, and Stanford University Libraries is early adopter. The next step will be the implementation of BIBFRAME-based authority workflows.</span>
<big>'''BIG - BIBFRAME Interoperability Group'''</big>


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">We are very happy about the progress of the new working group dedicated to National Bibliographies that has been meeting regularly since early September. The involvement of SVDE members and external institutions enriches the discussion of interesting input for the creation of an ad hoc Share Family tenant hosting national bibliographies data.</span>
The Share-VDE participation in the [https://wiki.lyrasis.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=249135298 BIG - BIBFRAME Interoperability Group] is strengthening cooperation among institutions adopting BIBFRAME internationally. Recently, Xiaoli Li, Tiziana Possemato and Kalli Mathios presented at the [https://iflacos.eu/index.php/meeting-and-sympsosium-program/ IFLA Advisory Committee on Standards Symposium] in Athens, on March 19th, sharing insights from ''BIBFRAME Interoperability Group: Tackling Implementation Challenges Across Institutions''.


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">Connected to this, we will be working to the <span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: #0060DF">[https://wiki.share-vde.org/w/images/1/1d/Schema_Share_family_tenant.png <span style="color: #0060DF">Share Family tenant infrastructure</span>]</span></span> that allows configurability and flexibility of the data grouped and presented according to each specific library or library consortia domain needs.</span>


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">Various strands of cooperation have been continued and new ones have been activated within the community of institutions that adopt linked data.</span>


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">Our commitment with the PCC is proceeding to feed the open pool of PCC-quality BIBFRAME data available as a trusted data source for cataloguers.</span>
<big>'''Consortia'''</big>


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">The collaboration with LD4P3 continues to be an important part of SVDE community work, e.g. as far as the harmonisation of SVDE conversion vs. Sinopia data and connection with Sinopia environment is concerned.</span>
We are striving to share the benefits of the Share Family approach to consortia and networks of institutions working with shared practices. The LOD Platform entity identification and reconciliation processes are suitable to environments that are already designed to be shared spaces. The potential for consortia of applying Share Family principles and tools is being investigated in a cooperative effort with consortia representatives. The [https://bit.ly/SF-Executive-Summary-Consortia Share Family Executive Summary for Consortia] sketches the outcomes envisioned when supporting consortia in adopting linked data methodologies for enhanced collaboration.


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">Working Groups involving the Library of Congress, Stanford, OCLC and SVDE stemmed from the [https://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/bibframe/PCC-BIBFRAME-Data-Exchange-Summary.pdf PCC BIBFRAME Data Exchange meeting] held in September 9-10 2021: the output of this activity will be crucial to reinforce the role of the BIBFRAME nodes in the library community and to foster interoperability among them.</span>
== Information resources ==
=== Publication documentation section in the wiki ===
The knowledge base of informative resources describing and documenting Share Family tools and activities continues to grow. The [[ShareDoc:PublicDocumentation|Public Documentation]] section includes detailed information on the LOD Platform workflow and components, the available APIs, the release notes, and public user guides.


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">Among the other initiatives and projects based on the same <span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: #0060DF">[https://wiki.share-vde.org/w/images/5/54/share_components_EN.pdf <span style="color: #0060DF">LOD Platform technology framework</span>]</span></span> as Share-VDE, it’s worth mentioning the Kubikat-LOD project where important components emerged that serve the whole Share Family infrastructure. Work is currently progressing for the release of the specific Kubikat tenant.</span>
A summary of useful resources was published in the [[ShareFamily:NewsAndUpdates/July2024|previous issue of the Bulletin]].


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">The [http://catalogo.share-cat.unina.it/sharecat/clusters?l=en Share-Catalogue project] is working on the alignment of their processes to SVDE, for example through the update of UNIMARC - BIBFRAME conversion.</span>
=== Publications ===
Among recent publications, it’s worth mentioning:


<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Nova Cond&quot;,sans-serif">All the results achieved and the forthcoming ones are possible also thanks to library members of Share-VDE and Share Family Working Groups and parallel projects that support this initiative and are constantly contributing with the competences of their Subject Matter Experts.</span>

==Share-VDE periodic update (November 2020)==
In the context of the Share Catalogue achievements with UNIMARC-to-BIBFRAME mapping, the Lightning talk [https://openreview.net/forum?id=UaBDWHMWJa ''Mapping UNIMARC to BIBFRAME: The SHARE Catalogue Knowledge Base on Wikibase.cloud''] will be presented by Claudio Forziati and Alessandra Moi on June 5th - 6th at [[metawikimedia:Wikidata_and_research|Wikidata and research]], at the University of Florence (Italy).
As the year comes to an end, several important updates on Share-VDE in 2020 are worth sharing. Those of you who follow the initiative very closely are already informed about the major achievements so far, but I am pleased to share our progresses with the whole Share-VDE community.  


This year has been complex for everyone because of the consequences of the COVID pandemic, but that didn’t stop us from moving forward: as announced earlier this month, Casalini Libri and its technological partner @Cult joining forces is the most recent of many steps taken on the Share-VDE path.  
Like every year, the Share Family will be present at ALA Conference 2025 in Philadelphia. A Share Family Workshop is being organised on Monday June 30th. A full announcement will be shared as soon as more details for participation are available.


From the modelling of Share-VDE entities, to the outline of the main functions of the Cluster Knowledge Base editor J.Cricket, we feel that the outcomes of the intense activities carried on with the Share-VDE working groups are of high scientific value for the advancement of Linked Open Data for the library community and the cultural heritage sector.  In the same time, we are working with complete dedication to the technical enhancement of the Share-VDE back-end and front-end components and we are eager to apply the tools that we have designed with your precious contribution and collaboration.  
The yearly appointment with the BIBFRAME Workshop in Europe is confirmed on September 16th - 17th 2025, in Naples (Italy). This event is a major gathering for sharing knowledge and practices about BIBFRAME implementation.


We are confident that the results will greatly increase the benefits that linked data offer to libraries, and the progress report attached is an attempt to sketch the development strands that are running simultaneously and the main accomplishments (the report is also available at https://bit.ly/SVDE_WG_progress).


For the future, we hope that the Share family will expand and we are very grateful to every single institution involved and to Linked Data for Production for the fruitful and constant cooperation.

Introduction

The Share Family is committed to fostering cooperation among its member institutions and within the broader GLAM community to showcase the immense value of being part of an initiative developed and driven by libraries for libraries.

The Share Family’s collaborative approach to linked open data results in advanced technology applications for bibliographic descriptions and shared data management tools. Member institutions embrace the recent progress of LOD Platform technology and are empowered by the advantages of linked open data for knowledge sharing.

Version 3.1.1 and LOD Platform developments

The version 3.0.0 of the LOD Platform that was announced in the latest issue of the Share Family Bulletin has introduced substantial changes to the technology framework supporting the system. JCricket entity editor and shared cataloguing tool is the major enhancement of v.3.0.0, but the system has undertaken important optimisations in the following software releases 3.1.0 and 3.1.1, which are currently being tested by member institutions.

The LOD Platform technology is shared across all environments of the Share Family initiative, and software releases are rolled out to the various tenants following a dedicated schedule.

Cluster Knowledge Base and data management

Entity model and Cluster Knowledge Base

The LOD Platform currently supports the latest version of the BIBFRAME ontology, and will upgrade the MARC-to-BIBFRAME mapping to the most up to date version. The use of BIBFRAME within the Share Family initiative has been extended to guarantee interoperability with IFLA LRM and with applications not based on BIBFRAME. The SVDE Ontology is the result of work that has been carried on since last year by the SEI - Sapientia Entity Identification Working Group, with the svde:Opus entity being the most prominent extension of the ontology.

The output of the SEI Working Group is being incorporated in the LOD Platform components, e.g. the OpusType property is available in the test environment and can be used in the JCricket entity editor that is being tested.

A key aspect of LOD Platform data management is the ability to manage data at a very fine granularity level. The aim is to have the CKB - Cluster Knowledge Base (or Entity Knowledge Base) as a single source of truth for the LOD Platform and Share Family installations. This will improve:

  • a “format-agnostic” CKB where all input formats converge into one conversion source (eg. MARC21, UNIMARC, native BIBFRAME/RDF eg. from LD4P Sinopia application profiles…);
  • improved conversion from MARC to BIBFRAME and vice versa;
  • single conversion pipeline from the CKB – removing the conversion pipeline based on MARC.

One of the main pipelines we’re following in this context is the management of attributes through controlled vocabularies instead of literals. This is being achieved by:

  • defining each controlled vocabulary in collaboration with the Sapientia Entity Identification Working Group;
  • enriching each vocabulary with external authoritative sources (RDA, Library of Congress, FINTO…);
  • clustering of controlled vocabularies and assignment of a URI to each value.

After completing the work on these vocabularies, they will be made available on JCricket.


UNIMARC

The direct management of UNIMARC records in clusterization and reconciliation processes without the “middle step conversion” from UNIMARC to MARC21 has been completed, and a Wikibase instance https://unimarc2bibframe.wikibase.cloud/ documents this work. An update has also been provided at the 6th IFLA UNIMARC Users Meeting in November 2024, with the presentation by Tiziana Possemato and Claudio Forziati UNIMARC-BIBFRAME Mapping: Evolving Interoperability in Data Modelling (recording available).

The related developments had as a result the migration of the SHARE Catalogue platform to the new CKB infrastructure and enhanced entity discovery portal https://www.sharecatalogue-lod.org/ (see also the updates on Share Family tenants below).


UAT – User Acceptance Testing environment

In the Share-VDE tenant, sets of real data from SVDE members institutions have been loaded to a UAT (User Acceptance Testing) environment that runs on the latest software version. The purpose is to test the most recent output of the clusterization of SVDE libraries’ data in a small-scale data pool. Members are validating the results of clusterization processes in the common CKB, ie. the quality of data processing, clustering, linked data conversion and entity display on the discovery portal. Input from the SVDE and Share Family community has always been the foundation of the initiative and an added value to developments.


Data update procedures

Incremental updates of data ingested from member institutions are managed through a dedicated module that has been continuously fine-tuned to streamline and automate the so-called “delta updates” imports. On the Natbib tenant, the institutional portal for the BNB - British National Bibliography currently supports a stable workflow of delta updates ingestion.

The delta updates workflow will be applied to all tenants as soon as massive data import and indexing will be stable.

JCricket Entity Editor

Upon the release of the LOD Platform v.3.0.0, JCricket was rolled out in a test environment dedicated to member institutions. The first round of tests has been done in the second half of 2024, and a new testing phase is ongoing. Feedback from testers will be incorporated in the application. You can explore more of JCricket in the Public Documentation section of the Share Family wiki at LOD Platform Entity Editor - JCricket and check out the demo of JCricket entity editor at the BIBFRAME Workshop in Europe 2024 (slides are also available).

JCricket operates on all layers of the LOD Platform entity model (ie. bf:Agent, svde:Opus, svde:Work, bf:Instance, Item). Also, JCricket users see multi-provenance data at individual attribute level. The tracking of the Provenance has been implemented since the beginning as a pivotal element to enable entity data curation by cataloguers from different institutions in a shared space.

The evolution of JCricket over time illustrates the progress of the tool and future goals.

Architecture and infrastructure

Multi-tenant architecture

Multi-tenancy is an infrastructure configuration that allows many clients to share a single instance of a software application and the related infrastructure resources. We have implemented and are rolling out this approach to reduce effort and machine resources needed to set-up and configure a new tenant or an institutional installation within it. This ensures that data is stored and managed in a unified way, optimizing security, scalability, and efficiency. While built for multi-tenancy, the architecture also seamlessly adapts to private deployments for those who require a dedicated installation.


New database

Because the scale of the Share Family environment has been growing at a big data level (particularly for the largest tenant Share-VDE), we are testing a new database solution that would rely on a NoSQL approach. This would ensure scalability and stable performance in massive data imports and incremental updates.

Third parties integration

The evolution of the LOD Platform technology encompasses the ability to mutually integrate the data produced with external systems, notably with local ILS and Library Service Platforms and authority sources. This is being achieved through the integration of the LOD Platform tools with local ILS and LSP, or cataloguing modules:

  • Alma: connection to circulation processes have been established; exploration of CRUD APIs together with Alma libraries is in course, to push data from JCricket to Alma;
  • FOLIO: pilot integration in progress with Lehigh University (Share-VDE member and FOLIO adopter); initial tests are completed for the automated data flow from JCricket into FOLIO’s Inventory module. The FOLIO Instance is automatically updated starting from input data in JCricket as the “source of truth”. Further use cases of mutual integration are being analysed and tested.
  • Sinopia LD4P BIBFRAME cataloguing module: connection to Sinopia and parsing of Sinopia-generated data has been completed; after the testing phase, Sinopia data will be included in the LOD Platform CKB - Cluster Knowledge Base and edited through JCricket.

This work aims to facilitate a hybrid cataloging environment that retains support for existing MARC-based integrations while developing the flexibility and interconnectedness offered by Share Family-maintained entities. By automating this process, this integration project not only enhances the metadata management capabilities of libraries but also paves the way for seamless collaborative cataloging within the Share Family community.

Lookup on authoritative sources such as Wikidata is also being developed to query and pull data while using JCricket. An endpoint has been set-up to query Wikidata Agents and Works via API and SPARQL. Currently, this implementation lives in the internal development environment.

Finally, efforts to integrate LOD Platform features in other applications are progressing steadily also on other fronts. Two conference presentations by Jim Hahn (University of Pennsylvania) have demonstrated some of the options for interoperability supported by JCricket and LOD Platform search APIs:

Front-end enhancements

The majority of front-end enhancements has been devoted to improving JCricket, also as a consequence of users’ feedback and tests, as well as following the evolution of the tool. Ongoing optimisations include not only design revisions, but also data curation features. Just a few examples:

  • the Provision Activity block of information structures publication data by mirroring the corresponding RDF group of publication attributes, and ensures better identification and reconciliation of Publishers.
  • The ability to edit svde:Work data (as mentioned above, JCricket operates on all layers of the LOD Platform entity model).
  • A preview of RDF entity representation has been designed and will be implemented.

The presentation layer of the discovery portal is also being improved, especially as far as accessibility for visually impaired users is concerned. Work is ongoing to validate the accessibility features of the web portal to confirm compliance with international guidelines. Also, refinements are ongoing to the management of Arabic script on the user interface. This task complements the management of multilingualism of Share Family data, that is already handled in two fashions:

  • Clusterization processes (automated processes): in this case, the variant forms in various languages and scripts retrieved from the available national and international data sources are used to enable the end user to perform searches on the discovery portal using different scripts and getting the same results.
  • Using JCricket entity editor (manual process): in this case, cataloguers can enrich the entity cluster with variant forms in terms of both different languages and different scripts.

Community work

New Open Metadata Policy

The Share Family strives to support and invest in open data to freely share information, and an updated Open Metadata Policy has been approved by its Advisory Council. The community is committed, wherever possible, to share data transformed by its series of Linked Open Data (LOD) processes.

The previous version of the policy was published in 2023 to encourage open access to data produced by Share Family processes.

Share Family Community updates

As usual, exchanges within the Share Family community steer the vision and the evolution of the initiative and the output of working groups nurtures technical developments:

  • The Sapientia Entity Identification Working Group is committed to the SVDE Ontology to define svde:Opus entity properties for different content types. RDA properties are also taken into account in framing the ontology, and this will ensure greater interoperability.
  • The User Experience – User Interface Working Group continues working jointly with the National Bibliographies Working Group on a design proposal for the Publication page of the entity discovery portal, focusing on the aggregation of svde:Work and bf:Instance data. The group has narrowed down the core metadata for each material type and is now deciding how to display additional metadata that is not core to publication identification, with the aim of improving navigation and optimizing how end-users interact with and utilize the data.

On 19th September 2024 an informal Share Family meeting dedicated to members was held in Helsinki, at the National Library of Finland, after the two-day BIBFRAME Workshop in Europe. The engagement of the membership around key areas of development confirmed the added value of being part of an active and diverse community.

On behalf of the various Share Family tenants we are happy to mention important advancements:

  • The Share Catalogue tenant has transitioned to the latest version of the LOD Platform, which includes the advanced entity discovery portal and JCricket. The new version is online at https://www.sharecatalogue-lod.org/ and will be enhanced in the next period as far as data quality and data curation functions.
  • The NLN - National Library of Norway joined the National Bibliographies tenant. Already a member of the SVDE tenant contributing its catalogue, the NLN will also provide the Norwegian national bibliography data and will be the second institution feeding this tenant along with the British Library.
  • The beta British National Bibliography in linked data is stable in the institutional portal https://bl.natbib-lod.org, which is populated with regular updates.
  • The Parsifal tenant https://parsifal.urbe.it/parsifal/ is effectively enabling the URBE network in the curation of a shared authority file originally created through the aggregation of the catalogues from participating libraries. We are working on a dashboard that orchestrates the workflow between the central authority file and the Cluster Knowledge Base, to facilitate individual libraries’ operations.

All members are welcome to contribute expertise, specific experience and bibliographic information for the enrichment of a collective catalogue and the entire Share community.

Collaborations with the library community

The Share Family team and member institutions continue to nurture the liaisons with the library information experts and linked data and BIBFRAME communities, to increase interoperability to the advantage of new bibliographic and linked data workflows and to enhance existing ones.

Moreover, participation in international working groups and networks is strategic to the Share Family community, and responds to its core principle of creating connections and increasing communication across initiatives and projects.


RDA Steering Committee

A liaison protocol has been signed to establish the relationship at the strategic level between the Share Family Advisory Council and the RSC - RDA Steering Committee.

This step is considered particularly fruitful also in consideration of the activities that libraires from different countries and continents are bringing forward in the Share Family Working Groups with the scope of enhancing the practical implementations and the concrete interoperability of the emerging bibliographic ecosystem based on linked open data. The protocol has been published:


IFLA

As a member of theIFLA Bibliography Section, Tiziana Possemato is also the official liaison IFLA Bibliography Section / Share Family National Bibliographies group.

Highlights from two IFLA events:


PCC - Program for Cooperative Cataloguing

Share Family representatives have been involved at various levels in PCC - Program for Cooperative Cataloguing activities including various stakeholders:


BIG - BIBFRAME Interoperability Group

The Share-VDE participation in the BIG - BIBFRAME Interoperability Group is strengthening cooperation among institutions adopting BIBFRAME internationally. Recently, Xiaoli Li, Tiziana Possemato and Kalli Mathios presented at the IFLA Advisory Committee on Standards Symposium in Athens, on March 19th, sharing insights from BIBFRAME Interoperability Group: Tackling Implementation Challenges Across Institutions.


Consortia

We are striving to share the benefits of the Share Family approach to consortia and networks of institutions working with shared practices. The LOD Platform entity identification and reconciliation processes are suitable to environments that are already designed to be shared spaces. The potential for consortia of applying Share Family principles and tools is being investigated in a cooperative effort with consortia representatives. The Share Family Executive Summary for Consortia sketches the outcomes envisioned when supporting consortia in adopting linked data methodologies for enhanced collaboration.
