Los datos enlazados y su uso en bibliotecas

Abstract

The bonding of library data establishes the interaction of documental information resources with other contents and resources of documental information in the web environment. This interaction only results efficient however, when it exists a significative bundling among data with similar attributes among them. The conception of the semantic web helps to fundament the main idea of having data which link documental information resources to other sources which are present in the cyberspace. It is a matter of relating data in the same way in which web pages are related, but with a semantic addition, which will have an influence in the search and recuperation of information in an interoperable system. This book pretends to give an answer to questions like: ¿What type of data are present in the bibliographic resources existent in the libraries?; ¿How can the available resources of bibliographic registers of libraries be joined?; ¿What elements must be included in an interoperable model for the handling of linked data in the libraries? The application of linked data in libraries gives the possibility of exploring, discovering and identifying the universe of documental information which surrounds an author, theme or specific resource. This characteristic supports the traditional theoretical vision of library science which is related with the access to universal access to information.
