Applying New Standards to Legacy Data for Semantic Interoperability and Multilingualism: A Case Study at the National Library of Greece
摘要
The National Library of Greece (NLG) adopted new cataloguing standards, namely IFLA LRM and RDA, two international standards which adhere to linked data principles. Even though newly created metadata is linked data compliant, the legacy data is not. Considering the objective of publishing the data of the NLG to the linked data cloud, interoperability in terms of technology, standards, and language is essential. Towards this goal, workflows have changed, corrections and enrichments were made, new system functionalities were developed, and new tools were used. This paper presents the implemented approach.
