[Metadatalibrarians] Bibliographic Conceptual Models IG Spring 2025 Virtual Program: Using a reference ontology to address misalignments between BIBFRAME and RDA/LRM ontologies

[Baldoni, Emily]

[With apologies for cross-posting]

Dear colleagues,

Join the Bibliographic Conceptual Models Interest Group on Wednesday, March 5 at 3pm CT for a presentation on use of a Reference Ontology (RO) to address semantic misalignments between the BIBFRAME and RDA/LRM ontologies. Use of a reference ontology for semantic mediation is distinct from creation of a metadata application profile and from transformative techniques such as metadata crosswalks. The presentation will feature reference-ontology use cases for data from the Library of Congress and National Library of Spain.

Presenter Helena Patrício is a Research Assistant at the Information Sciences, Technologies and Architecture Research Centre<https://ciencia.iscte-iul.pt/centres/istar-iul> (ISTAR-Iscte) of the University Institute of Lisbon, and works as librarian at the Information and Documentation Center of the Portuguese Film Archive and Museum<https://www.cinemateca.pt/>. She was Director of Special Collections Services at the National Library of Portugal<https://www.bnportugal.gov.pt/index.php?lang=en> from 2012 to 2024, during which time she was responsible for the National Digital Library<https://bndigital.bnportugal.gov.pt/en>. She holds a master’s degree in Information Studies and Digital Libraries, and is currently a PhD student with research interests in the semantic web and linked open data.

Registration: https://ala-events.zoom.us/meeting/register/0SkfcfBnSjuPm9GKVYnBwg
The session is free and open to all. The presentation will be recorded and will be made available following the session.
