Introduction to SchemaBibEx as Network Bibliographic Resource Description Specifications

Abstract

Abstract:

The traditional MARC bibliographic format enormously hinders library bibliographic data from becoming network information resources. The problem which library must solve is how to attract users from network application services back to library system. After reviewing the history and background of the open access of bibliographic resources on the web, the paper advocates SchemaBibEx, which is the bibliographic resource description extension of Schema. org, as the powerful tool for library to solve this problem. By analyzing the linked data model, vocabularies, tools and services, the paper explains its originality, openness, global unity, and economicality. It also discusses its complementary relationship with BIBFRAME which is the next generation of bibliographic frame format. SchemaBibEx isn’t the replacement of MARC, but will become a two-way communication bridge between library bibliographic data and information user network.

Key words: Schema. org, MARC, BIBFRAME, Bibliographic data format, Linked data
