Data is the next Intel InsideTim O‘Reilly

Bibliographic data

created by the libraries

controled data

„product“ by the library

Data and Web 2.0

How can data get enhanced by using it?

What can users create with the tools of the library?

Will control and web 2.0 fit?

Let‘s take a look...

Wikipedia

free encyclopedia

not free as beer, free as speech

about 700.000 Article in German-lang. Wikipedia

aprox. 175.000 about Persons (25 %)

Metadata for Persons

Results of the Cooperation

Over 38.000 link articles

A lot correction wishes for the PND

Wikipedia a good starting point for a search

Wikipedia users can very easy become library users

Other Authority Files and Wikipedia

GKD: Institutions

100 links

finding the ID is very hard / no retrieval webservice (now)

Complicated structure

Other Authority Files and Wikipedia

SWD: Keywords

Already over 250 links

finding the ID is very hard / no retrieval webservice now

Czech Names Authority Files

about 800 Links

Further Ideas

Links from the catalog to wikipedia

linking of other authority files

Links from Wikipedia to other resources (via Linkresolver)

Classification of Wikipedia

via Social Tagging = categories

Thoughts about classification with:

DDC (not free!)

RVK (only uses in Germany )

Basisclassification

UDC (not free, too)

Vision: A free classification for the net

Wikipedia: An Authority File for the net?

very often linked

One theme - one article eg. Wiki

every wikipedia-link index an document with a theme

article in every language has a persistent URL

open for use in every context

Authority Files and Web 2.0

Authority files can have a role in the web 2.0

there must be an open interface/ service for retrieval

everything that is indexed on the net with authority files can be easy integrated in a federated search

O‘Reilly: You have to found ways that your data get more important that more it will be used
