The activities of Share-VDE are divided 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. The groups have regular meetings that are reported in the annual meeting calendar.
SVDE Advisory Council (AC)
The Share-VDE Advisory Council's role is to provide insight and analysis of the MARC to BIBFRAME transformation to make recommendations for improvements based on member library data analysis, and project documentation. The AC also provides overall guidance to the activities of Share-VDE initiative and Working Groups.
See the dedicated area ShareVDE:Members/Share-VDE_working_groups/SVDE_Work_Identification_Working_Group.

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.
