Aligning BIBFRAME with The Schema/Bib Extend model
The world’s libraries. Connected.
Bibliographic Descriptions in Schema.org: Rationale
• Increase the visibility of library resources in the major search engines.
• Engage at the W3C level for representation of library data.
• Address defects in the Schema model for representing bibliographic data.
The world’s libraries. Connected.
The context
• OCLC’s alpha release of linked data for WorldCat.org.
• The BIBFRAME Early Experimenters group.
• The Schema Bib Extend W3C Community group. • OCLC’s experiments with SchemaBibEx and BIBFRAME.
The world’s libraries. Connected.

Issues
• Representation of FRBR Works and Expressions in Schema.org
• Alignment of BIBFRAME Authorities and Annotations • Moving beyond the Dublin Core-like description The world’s libraries. Connected.
A recommended division of labor
SchemaBibEx advocates lead
• Evaluate Schema.org for library descriptions. • Negotiate with Schema.org to adopt changes.
• Map BIBFRAME concepts to Schema.org.
BIBFRAME leads
• Develop BIBFRAME and harmonize with other post MARC standards.
