What is OpenCat?

 An R&D project (2012), involving

 National Library of France (BnF)  Public Library of Fresnes near Paris  Logilab (specialists in SemWebTech)

 Fresnes’ library has been retrieving data from the national library from a long time  Objectives

 Reuse BnF’s FRBRized Linked Open Data (data.bnf.fr)  Mix it with other information  Customize display

Data.bnf.fr at a glance

 Online since july 2011, and still growing : 200 000 authors, 170 000 subject headings, 100 000 titles  data available in RDF and JSON for each page through dumps on http://data.bnf.fr/semanticweb  in Open License  Simple pages about authors, works, and subjects …and about dates and about places

http://data.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb11886243m  data.bnf.fr matches editions with title authority data

What about libraries ? The national library’s open data at

the service of a local library

SLIDE 8
  • External open data links
  • Additional resources and information :

illustrations, information about the authors.

  • Easy search through Work-centred

display.

  • Links to digitized items

How can we put the local catalogue into the web ?

Chronology

 Nov. 2011: proposal from the Fresnes library  May 2012: OpenCat project (15 months)

  • fficially launched

 Nov. 2012: First prototype released (restricted access)  May 2013: Prototype made public http://demo.cubicweb.org/opencatfresnes/  Currently: Public prototype + More experimental version

Some responses to OpenCat

 December 2012: survey on 10 patrons of the Fresnes Library

 Brief introduction to main functionalities  Free discovery for 15 minutes  Specific queries highlighting innovative features

 Results (1)

 Catalogue enriched with external info  Biographic data about authors  Could blur the identity of the catalogue : the access to the document is a priority in the page  Navigation is cool and quite natural  Although autocomplete function sucks

Follow-up and future developments

 https://demo.cubicweb.org/library/ https://demo.cubicweb.org/library/manifestation/17244 16?vid=available  Saône et Loire (ex: Harry Potter)

Common OPAC Local network Dump of semi- FRBRized data

Challenges  From the prototype to real life :

 Have complete and updates data in data.bnf.fr  Connect to the ILS (availability information)  Include local resources (that do not come through the legal deposit)

14

slide-15
SLIDE 15

To sum the whole thing up  OpenCat is

 A tool for displaying data and customizing a common OPAC where

 national level Work data meets  local level Item data

 A tool allowing local libraries to take advantage of SemWebTech without having to change their ILS
