A SEMANTIC PORTAL ARCHITECTURE FOR PUBLISHING LINKED BIBLIOGRAPHIC DATA
A PROPOSAL FOR THE BIBLIODATA NETWORK
Keywords:
linked bibliographic data, linked open data, bibliodata network, semantic portal, semantic webAbstract
The Bibliodata Network is a Brazilian inter-institutional collaboration that, since 1942, has supported the cooperative creation and maintenance of bibliographic and authority records. Despite the technological restructuring initiated in 2019, publishing and accessing its data in an open and linked format remains a challenge. This article proposes an architecture for a semantic portal for the Bibliodata Network, based on Linked Open Data (LOD) principles and semantic technologies (RDF, SPARQL, and OWL). The exploratory study is based on an integrative literature review and analysis of international best practices. The architecture organizes an ecosystem of bibliographic and authority data into eight layers, from extraction to publication, visualization, and integration. A prototype enabled a preliminary examination of the articulation among transformation, storage, publication, and query processes. The results indicate the feasibility of applying LOD to cooperative library networks while highlighting challenges involving modeling, governance, data quality, and maintenance.
