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 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, 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.
JCricket high-level description
Here follows the high-level description of JCricket functions. All manual functions are also available through corresponding GraphQL APIs.
For more detailed descriptions of the manual functions, refer to the user manual.
The system fetches MARC records – or records in other formats - from the institution for ingestion and BIBFRAME conversion; linked data entities are created from this process and stored in the Cluster Knowledge Base (CKB). In this context, JCricket serves as a transformative tool, enabling librarians with specific authorization levels to refine and enhance the quality of the data. By facilitating human intervention, it acknowledges the inherent limitations of automated processes and harnesses the expertise of librarians to elevate the accuracy and richness of the shared knowledge base.
Within the knowledge base, each cataloger can work on the dataset, using the Provenance to identify their own data. Through the dedicated JCricket web interface, librarians can engage in a spectrum of operations. Key operations include the ability to edit, update, create, delete properties or invalidate clusters.
