Revised from the ISBD(CF): International Standard Bibliographic Description for Computer Files Recommended by the ISBD(CF) Review Group (Originally issued by K.G. Saur, München, 1997, as Vol. 17 in the UBCIM Publications, New Series) Contents Introduction International Standard Bibliographic Description arose out of a resolution of the International Meeting of Cataloguing Experts, organized by the IFLA Committee on Cataloguing in Copenhagen in 1969, that a standardization of the form and content of bibliographic description be established.

The International Standard Bibliographic Description for Monographic Publications was the first of the ISBDs pursuant to the mandate of 1969. This ISBD contained provisions covering machine-readable data files. Electronic resources are products of a volatile technology that continues to generate changes at a very rapid pace.

Actual projects. The book shown above is one of our patients we take care of these days. As you can clearly see the condition is fairly hopeless....... The book is a rare copy of the Paraphrases of Erasmus on the New Testament. Although the titlepage and impressum is missing we found out that this copy was printed by Edward Whitchurch in London in 1548. This is the first volume. Problem..... Obviously there are various problems but the main concern is how to get this object readable or manageable in a practical sense. Solution..... Yes, the solution.......As stated before there's no need to restore the object to a form as it once was. As said earlier the title-page was missing. First we took apart the "support-spine". To complete the conservation we made a custom box with a special space to store the remainings of the book (the front board, the spine which was apllied later and the original sewing supports).

Introducing Linked Data And The Semantic Web.

Next: Introducing Graph Data What is Linked Data and the Semantic Web and what is all the hype about? Principally, the Semantic Web is a Web 3.0 web technology - a way of linking data between systems or entities that allows for rich, self-describing interrelations of data available across the globe on the web. In essence, it marks a shift in thinking from publishing data in human readable HTML documents to machine readable documents. That means that machines can do a little more of the thinking work for us. How Does It Differ From The Web As It Is Today? Today, much of the data we get from the web is delivered to us in the form of web pages - HTML documents that are linked to each other through the use of hyperlinks. Humans or machines can read these documents, but other than typically seeking keywords in a page, machines have difficulty extracting any meaning from these documents themselves.
