3. Introduction
This presentation will focus how Alma supports and integrates with the BIBFRAME (Bibliographic Framework) initiative. While we will discuss and show the BIBFRAME records, the focus of the presentation is not “What is BIBRAME”.
Note that while we will be talking specifically about BIBFRAME, Linked data can be exposed in several formats. Alma supports the following LD formats:
BIBFRAME
JSON-LD
RDA/RDF
For further information on “What is BIBFRAME” it is recommended to see the various sources on the internet, most notably

4. Introduction
For further information on BIBFRAME and Alma, in addition to this presentation, see the following on the developers network Linked Data and BIBFRAME explanation: Tech Blog from Steve Meyer of the University of Wisconsin:

5. Introduction
One of the main goals of BIBFRAME is to use linked data to make bibliographic data more useful.
In other words, BIBFRAME has the potential to create “a more useful user experience for library and cultural heritage patrons”.1
As we will see, Alma supports BIBFRAME linked data model not only in the staff user interface but also in the various methods of publishing, thereby exposing the BIBFRAME format to the end user.
One of the ways Alma facilitates making the bibliographic data “more useful” is by enabling the exposure of the data in discovery.

7. Linked Data and BIBFRAME in the staff user interface
Here is title “Lean in: women, work, and the will to lead ” by “Sheryl Sandberg” and “Neil Scovell” in the metadata editor

8. Linked Data and BIBFRAME in the staff user interface
In the lower pane of the metadata editor we can see the links (URIs) which are automatically added by Alma

9. Linked Data and BIBFRAME in the staff user interface
Here is title “Lean in: women, work, and the will to lead” by “Sheryl Sandberg” and “Neil Scovell” in the repository search
We will click the title to access the “record view”

10. Linked Data and BIBFRAME in the staff user interface
In the BIBFRAME tab we can see the record in BIBFRAME format
Here for example is the linked data to creator “Sandberg, Sheryl” in the bf:Agent tag in the BIBFRAME format.

12. BIBFRAME in the published record for discovery
Both the “Publish bibliographic records to Primo” publishing profile as well as the “General publishing profile” include an option for linked data.
The “Publish bibliographic records to Primo” includes an option for “Linked Data enrichment”.
The “General publishing profile” includes an option to publish to BIBFRAME format.

13. BIBFRAME in the published record for discovery
The “Publish bibliographic records to Primo” publishing profile includes an option for “Linked Data enrichment”

14. BIBFRAME in the published record for discovery
The records are the published to Primo with the linked data in the subfield 0
For example (this is just a sample section of the published record):
<datafield tag="100" ind1="1" ind2=" ">
<subfield code="a">Sandberg, Sheryl</subfield>
<subfield code="e">author.</subfield>
<subfield code="0">(uri)
<subfield code="0">(uri)
<subfield code="2">LCNAMES</subfield>
<subfield code="0">41-LIBRARY_OF_CONGRESS-n </subfield>
<subfield code="9">Y</subfield>
</datafield>
<datafield tag="245" ind1="1" ind2="0">
<subfield code="a">Lean in :</subfield>
<subfield code="b">women, work, and the will to lead /</subfield>
<subfield code="c">Sheryl Sandberg with Nell Scovell.</subfield>
. . .
<datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0">
<subfield code="a">Women executives.</subfield>
<subfield code="0">(uri)
<subfield code="2">LCSH</subfield>
<subfield code="0">41-LIBRARY_OF_CONGRESS-sh </subfield>

15. BIBFRAME in the published record for discovery
The “General Publishing Profile” includes an option for the output format to be in BIBFRAME

16. BIBFRAME in the published record for discovery
Here for example is part of the record published via the general publishing profile (part 1 of 2)
<bf:contribution>

19. BIBFRAME being utilized in discovery
The linked data in the BIBFRAME format is typically used as a starting point to “crawl” to additional sources.
We saw previously that the bibliographic information published to Primo is enriched with URIs in the public domain (in subfield 0 of the record).
These URIs provide information to be used in order to retrieve new information from related entities.
In a Linked Data context, ideally one would simply follow the links and crawl from one data description to another.

20. BIBFRAME being utilized in discovery – example 1
We will now look at an example whereby an Alma institution has included the linked data in the discovery results.
We will search for title “Lean in women work and the will to lead”

21. BIBFRAME being utilized in discovery – example 1
The full view of the record includes links to data from other sources

22. BIBFRAME being utilized in discovery – example 1
Expanding the links shows information for the heading entry from various sources

23. BIBFRAME being utilized in discovery – example 2
Here is a different example whereby an Alma institution has included the linked data in the discovery results.
We will search for title “Lean in women work and the will to lead”

24. BIBFRAME being utilized in discovery – example 2
The full view of the record includes links to a “knowledge card” which includes links to data from other sources

25. BIBFRAME being utilized in discovery – example 2
Here for example is the link to WIKIDATA for Sheryl Sandberg

26. BIBFRAME being utilized in discovery – example 2
Here for example is a link to additional titles by same author including link to LC Names authority file

27. BIBFRAME being utilized in discovery – example 2
And here is the VIAF record for Sheryl Sandberg, also available from the Knowledge Card

The syntax of the BIBFRAME API retrieval may be found at

30. BIBFRAME retrieval via API
For example:
If the institution is YILIS_INST and it is in the EU data center and the MMSID is then the API will be:
If the institution is TECHSTATE and it is in the NA data center and the MMSID is then the API will be:
Note that there should be a Linked Data integration profile defined as well
