Description: The Share Family offers libraries, museums and archives a flexible, sustainable, interoperable and co-operative approach to linked data and knowledge sharing
Libraries , archives and museums hold a vast quantity of data and resources that, until now, have often remained hidden from sight in catalogues and archives. By implementing the BIBFRAME data model and facilitating the interoperability with IFLA LRM and other widely used ontologies, bibliographic information can be transformed into Linked Data , revealing it to a wider audience and encouraging greater engagement with library, archive and museum collections.
Linking bibliographic data and resources from a network of libraries, archives and museums increases the dissemination and discoverability of knowledge and allows patrons to search in a range of catalogues at once.
We are excited to announce the upcoming Share-VDE Workshop, on June 26th, 8:30am-10:30am Central US time at ALA Conference 2023 in Chicago. The workshop will be conducted in a hybrid format, allowing both in-person and online participation. Building on the achievements and system infrastructure upgrades presented at the Library of Congress in 2022, this year's workshop will highlight the cooperative advancements within the Share-VDE initiative. The program includes an overview of Share-VDE and Share Family
