10 Role of authority Brücken URIs zu RDA: (Uniform Normdaten-URIs Resource Identifier) Authorities as database backbone Identification of the entity Deambiguation, qualification, contextualization relating name variants, + identifiying attributes to one entity Controlled access points to information about the resource (URIs for computerized access) Aim: precise documentation of the object Maintain specific semantic quality by using controlled vocabularies for attributes, roles and relations Aim: identification of the item the record is about (work of art, building, manuscript etc.) By creating/using authority URI references for works of art and artifacts

11 Brücken Which zu authorities RDA: Normdaten-URIs to use? Criteria Coverage of entities needed in your documentation Published on the web Adressable by URIs Open license: Re-use and inclusion in own data Native language + Multilinguality Maintenance of the authority Widespread use Publish high-quality data, fit for semantic web applications

12 Collection documentation Authorities Brücken in collection zu RDA: documentation Normdaten-URIs in Germany Who? Where? What?

14 Advantages Brücken zu of RDA: GND Normdaten-URIs use for museums GND provides authority data for most entities relevant in museum documentation German language GND ready to receive additional data for non-library institutions Linked Open Data: unrestricted availability and re-use of data, key role in semantic web applications Use services provided: Data available via OAI- und SRU-interfaces, download, web search Strategy for museums: enhancement of local data by existing, sharable resources Benefit from authority data maintenance and expansion by third party Libraries are globally leading in building interlinked information structures for the heritage sector

15 Brücken International zu RDA: data Normdaten-URIs hub: VIAF

16 International Brücken data zu hubs: RDA: Wikipedia Normdaten-URIs and DBpedia

17 Integrating Brücken authorities: zu RDA: what Normdaten-URIs should collections do? Essentials Cataloguing: identification of instances against the authority integration of authority IDs (!) into local data Enhance existing local data Matching of local authorities, thesauri and vocabularies against reference authority. Reference IDs connected/imported by use of local term MuSIS Objektbezeichnungsthesaurus, DigiCULT, PartagePlus (Europeana) Direct post-enhancement by automated and/or manual matching processes Historic-Biographical Information System (Bayer. Akademie), Digital Portrait Index, Wikimedia image donations Contribute to reference authorities Add records for instances not yet covered Correct and extend existing records IN2N Cross-institutional integration of authority data (DNB/Dt. Filminstitut)

18 What should collections do? Establish URIs as identifiers for museum objects objects become referenceable on the web minisites/cidoc/pdf/statementonlinkeddataidentifie rsformuseumobjects.pdf
