BIBFRAME WORKSHOP IN EUROPE, Naples 2025
University of Naples Federico II
BIBFRAME Workshop in Europe
The aim of the BIBFRAME Workshop in Europe is to be a forum for sharing knowledge about the practice of, production with, and planning of BIBFRAME implementation.
We bring together people working in the transition from MARC to Linked Data using the BIBFRAME model and related tools.
The workshop areas are strongly focused on the practical implementation of BIBFRAME, not a theoretical Linked Data / Semantic Web event.
Proceedings
Call for presentations (deadline: May 5th, 2025)
The 9th annual meeting of the BIBFRAME Workshop in Europe (BFWE) aims to bring together stakeholders, practitioners and researchers from the library and information science community to discuss and explore implementations, implications and the potential of BIBFRAME.
We are currently accepting submissions for contributions regarding practical applications, case studies and original research, related to BIBFRAME and its impact on library services, data management, and user experience.
We welcome proposals for presentations, lightning talks and specific panels across a wide spectrum of different viewpoints of BIBFRAME. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Experiences: Data creation and hybrid workflows (MARC 21, UNIMARC, and BIBFRAME).
- Implementation: Strategies, challenges, and lessons learned.
- Interoperability: Data conversion, migration, and Library Service Platform integrations.
- Standards: BIBFRAME and its relationship with RDA, provenance data, and other cataloging frameworks.
- Technology: New tools, entity management, and AI-driven approaches to metadata.
- BIBFRAME and Open Science/Open Metadata: Integration with research infrastructures and data repositories.
- User-centered design: Enhancing user experience and accessibility through BIBFRAME.
- BIBFRAME and AI: The role of machine learning in cataloging and metadata enhancement.
- BIBFRAME for cultural heritage institutions: Adapting metadata models for museums, archives, and special collections.
