BIBFRAME and other bibliographic standards

[lintool]

Look into BIBFRAME: https://www.loc.gov/bibframe/

• How widely adopted is it?
• What are other competing standards?
• Interoperability w/ other tools in the Waterloo or GWF ecosystem? (e.g., connects to frdr?)

Update as at 2022-12-13 https://doi.org/10.6017/ital.v34i1.5664 - General overview https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01639374.2022.2119456 - Key findings from this paper that assess uptake in Canada "Results indicate that knowledge of BIBFRAME is low among respondents and that most of the libraries surveyed in do not know enough about BIBFRAME to consider planning a transition"

Next steps - have meeting with a librarian at UW planned about alternatives standards and their experiences with BIBFRAME. Note

• MARC is on way it way out ( but UW uses this)
• BIBFRAME ( not widely used)
• Dublin Core ( used by UWspace) - https://www.dublincore.org/
• OPENAire - https://guidelines.openaire.eu/en/latest/ ( maybe considered best option to explore for our work)
